If you crave the radiant glow and luscious lengths practically synonymous with Brazil’s homegrown models (enter Gisele Bündchen, Adriana Lima, and Alessandra Ambrosio) familiarize yourself with Brazilian beauty products.

However, it’s also home to an array of niche cosmetic brands that boast major cult followings. In honor of the 2016 Olympics currently underway in Rio de Janeiro, we highlight five Brazilian hair, body, and makeup finds worthy of a gold medal.
