In a creative attempt to redefine jewelry and fashion eyewear, the collection features eyewear with temples adorned with rings and earrings, reestablishing the frame itself to be a piece of jewelry. The collaboration package, which elegantly reinterprets the two brands’ formal identities, is reminiscent of jewelry boxes. The Belgian creative director, Stephanie D’heygere remarks, “The delicately designed products led this collaboration to open a new chapter of eyewear by attempting a unique method of combining frame with jewelry as a structure, not simply attaching it to the frame. It made us take the next step on typical jewelry eyewear.” The collaboration campaign features a bizarre and unique wedding between Gentle Monster and D’heygere. Their connection transcends the 8,965km distance and 7-hour time difference between Seoul and Paris. www.gentlemonster.com

This powerful combination of products harnesses the benefits of vitamin C to enhance your skincare routine and promote a radiant complexion. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that offers numerous benefits for the skin. Firstly, it helps to brighten the complexion by reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even skin tone. Additionally, vitamin C aids in collagen production, which can improve the skin’s elasticity and firmness, leading to a smoother and more youthful appearance. This essential nutrient also helps to protect the skin against environmental damage caused by free radicals, such as pollution and UV rays. To maximize the effectiveness of vitamin C in your skincare routine, it is important to use it consistently and correctly. Start by cleansing your face thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities. Then, apply a few drops of the Vitamin C+E Ferulic Acid Serum to your face and gently massage it in, focusing on areas of concern. This serum helps to deliver a concentrated dose of vitamin C to your skin, promoting a healthy and vibrant complexion. After applying the serum, follow up with the Arbutin & Liquorice Glow Up Moisturizer. This moisturizer not only provides hydration but also contains arbutin and liquorice, which work together with vitamin C to enhance the brightening effects and promote a natural glow. Lastly, don’t forget the delicate skin around your eyes. The Vitamin C Bright Eyes Cream is specifically formulated to target dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines in this area. Gently apply a small amount to the under-eye area, using your ring finger to tap it in until fully absorbed. By incorporating Indy Beauty’s vitamin C series into your skincare routine, you can reap the benefits of this powerful ingredient and achieve a brighter, more youthful complexion. Remember to use the products consistently and as directed to maximize their effectiveness and enjoy the radiant results.
