Certain people can treat travel methodically, with detailed itineraries, booked plans, and set destinations. Every stop has its place, every detail accounted for before they even leave. But there are those who take travel as part of life’s journey, embracing it as freedom and exploration.
Just like the Escapist, who takes on every adventure with a sense of curiosity, and that extends to her beauty choices. Read on to see how The Escapist lets beauty follow her sense of self, making every beauty moment exciting.

The Escapist
For the free-spirited, putting on makeup is not a duty, it is freedom. Makeup artist Raffy So leans into that with a reverse smoky eye, lining the lower lashes with aqua eyeshadow using the Issy x Slo Lopez Curated Pressed Shadow in Squirt, complemented by gold shimmer at the inner corners from GRWM Cosmetics Face Card ShadowPlay in Stardust. For a sun-kissed look, So layers the Issy Creme Heat Stick in Burn set with Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer in 04 Deep. Even as she takes a break from a day spent outdoors, there’s still mischief in her eyes.

Wildly effortless
Beauty rewards her adventurous soul. An unexpected color, a touch of gold, a bronze you could only get from sunny days. She follows no rigid itinerary, nor does she follow the rules of one makeup routine. Always curious and forever chasing the next moment of discovery, beauty becomes a manifestation of a life fully lived.
