The Vanity Drawer Gets an Editor: Steph Hon's Cadence Puts Order Behind the Look

Before any red carpet or crowning moment comes the part nobody photographs: the jars, palettes and brushes that have to be found before they can be used. Steph Hon started Cadence in 2020 as a beauty organization brand to take on that quiet labor, the hidden effort of keeping a routine in order. The idea is that a routine is easier to keep when every piece already has its place. We cover what a look turns out to be, but we also admire how well it was prepared, and that preparation starts at the vanity.
