Uppercut brand launches a line of cosmetics exclusively for men
Brand brief
The main feature of the brand is that the design of all lines is created in a retro style. For example, hair and mustache styling products come in vintage jars with a branded logo and a picture of boxers (uppercut – uppercut, bottom punch). The main colors of the brand are black, white and red. The logo itself is printed on a bright scarlet background, and the corporate picture with boxers is black and white. The laconic design sends buyers to the era of jazz, retro cinema and street dance disco, beloved by many Western consumers.
Old-school design elements are a favorite feature of the Uppercut trademark
Another hallmark of Australian men's cosmetics is fragrance (or lack thereof). Some products – soap, shaving cream – have no smell at all, which is a plus for allergy sufferers, and your own perfume will not interrupt. Most of Uppercut cosmetics exude strong and mature aromas: tobacco, citrus, wood … For young people, the brand offers the smells of coconut, morning freshness and not sugary vanilla.
Hair care products
The largest share in the total production of Uppercut cosmetics is taken by hair care products: shampoos, conditioners, waxes and clays. Available in a convenient dispenser bottle. Their volume varies from 240 milliliters to 1 liter. Shampoos for daily use, in addition to panthenol, contain menthol and licorice extracts. These simple ingredients provide a light lather and don't dry out your hair. Thanks to this, at the next stage – in the process of styling – hair lends itself to styling of any complexity.

It is advisable to use the styling cream after you thoroughly wash and dry your hair. You need to distribute it with your fingers evenly along the entire length, without affecting the hair roots. It is better to shape with a comb. One of the 'chips' of Uppercut cream is the aroma with notes of wood and tobacco. This product is produced in a round jar in a volume of 90 grams.
