The Beauty Edit, Stories That Shape the Culture of Showing Up Beautifully.

Logo for 'The Beauty Edit' by Chardé, featuring a circular design with text inside.

Part editorial, part diary, part business journal, The Beauty Edit explores the ideas shaping modern beauty, creativity, and connection.

From product deep dives to brand building, every issue invites you inside the Triple Eight world, where beauty isn’t a category, it’s a culture.

A Creative Studio. A Tech Lab. A Beauty Think Tank.

Studio Eight is where the ideas behind Triple Eight Creative come to life.

It’s our space to test, build, and reimagine the beauty experience through editorial storytelling, digital innovation, and creative experimentation.

We develop:

  • Content & Campaign Concepts that merge culture with commerce.

  • Interactive Experiences like The Signature Glam Quiz and Inner Circle Hub.

  • Brand Collaborations that bring beauty into real-world environments.

The Inner Circle

One topic. Three perspectives.

Endless ways to show up.

This section is where the Inner Circle comes to life.

Each post takes a single idea, beauty, artistry, brand building, culture, and breaks it down through the three pillars of the T8C ecosystem:

  • Client

  • Pro

  • Business

One lens never tells the full story. The Inner Circle explores how a topic shifts depending on how you move through beauty and creativity, whether you’re showing up for yourself, your craft, or your brand.

Expect clean insights, seasonal conversations, behind-the-scenes moments, and thought-forward beauty commentary shaped by the world we’re building.

This is the editorial companion to the T8C universe, grounded, intentional, and always in motion.

The Edit | Same Trends, New Rules

Ngozi Edeme’s blush-forward, color-forward glam has taken over the internet, Kelly Rowland, Olandria, Doechii. This is beauty. The same trends, but elevated, personalized, and made our own.

But here’s the truth: most of us get it. We have the artistry, the vision, the culture. What we don’t always have is the access. That’s why I started the climb with our events to bring beauty directly to you, and to prove that when given the stage, we don’t just show up, we deliver.

Triple Eight Creative was built to bridge that gap. Through Signature Glam, The Edit, and The Inner Circle, we’re creating not just the what, but the how. The access. The authority.
