How the Belle de Jour Palette was born

Transforming Beauty, One Palette at a Time

Portare is brand born out of a deep love for beauty and an unwavering commitment to our planet. Let me take you on a journey behind the scenes, into the heart of Portare with our passionate creator and founder of Selena. 

The Spark of Inspiration

For as long as Selena can remember, beauty and fashion has been her canvas for self-expression. As a mother, a career woman, and a lover of all things glamorous, Selena found myself caught in the whirlwind of life, always on the go. It was in those hectic moments, rushing from boardrooms to school pickups and doctor's appointments, that Portare began to take shape.

Her frustration wasn't just about the chaos of a busy life; it was about the environmental toll of our beauty rituals. The ever-growing pile of tester containers in her bag was not just clutter; it was a silent contributor to a staggering statistic. Over 150 billion pieces of beauty industry waste are generated each year. This revelation hit Selena like a ton of discarded eyeshadow palettes, Feeling a deep sense of disappointment every time her hand reached for a disposable tester.

A Green revolution in Beauty.

In 2020, Portare emerged as a response to this environmental crisis. Portare isn't just a brand; it's a movement to redefine beauty, sustainability, and the way we express ourselves. Inspired by Selena's struggles with eczema and the need for efficient, eco-friendly beauty solutions, the Belle de Jour Original Palette was born.

Elegance and Innovation in Every Detail

 The Belle de Jour Palette isn't just a makeup palette; it's a philosophy, a commitment to elegance and innovation, celebrating how every user is beautiful and unique as the individual they are. The reusable pods offer limitless potential, allowing every woman to curate her palette, expressing her individuality with every refill. Change your pod as often as you desire. 

Empowering Beauty on the Go

For mothers juggling work and children, for busy students racing between classes, for those camping under the stars, and for travellers soaring across continents, Portare is your beauty companion. It's for the gym-goers squeezing in a workout, the skincare enthusiasts nurturing their skin, and anyone who values beauty on the move. The palette isn't just a space-saver; it's a time-saver.
