Taking their individual and personal beauty obsessions together, the girl bosses behind the multiconcept lifestyle brand are now making their desires a reality with the creation of their dream makeup line, Sunnies Face. Never abandoned and quietly worked on for years, this is beauty that gets you.
Winding down from the lingering drawl of a 12hour working day might be the necessary exhale one looks forward to, but for Georgina Wilson, there is no such thing as slowing down—completely. With a bouncing one-year-old on her lap cooing at the sight of everything that moves, she manages to keep an elegant and eloquent hold of our conversation, tend to her son, and even presumably map out the next few hours leading up to her 6:00 AM flight the next day.
“You know what, when I’ve figured it out, I’ll get back to you,” she says with a laugh when asked how she keeps things together. But despite the obvious (and understandable) exhaustion wearing down on her, there is a palpable excitement that colors her words back to life.
“It’s definitely a dream come true. It doesn’t feel real—just yet,” she says, shedding light on Sunnies Face, the latest venture to come out of the desaturated retro-inspired lifestyle that they are now associated with. “This one really feels like, ‘Oh my god, is this really happening?’ So, we wanted to do makeup before we did Sunnies. We’ve been waiting for so long and we really had to reach the scale and the size that we are now to be able to do it in the way that we wanted to—to work with the right manufacturers, to have the right distribution and to do it in a way that felt right: in a big way, in an impactful way.” A long time coming, this milestone of an effort is what Wilson feels has been her life’s true calling. “Everything else running up to this was practice,” she says in jest.
