The Veronicas have long been the nation’s favourite twins, dominating the airwaves for over a decade, and now Lisa and Jessica Origliasso are stepping into new territory.
Known for their iconic hit song Untouched, the identical sisters are launching their own beauty brand — Lemons, set to debut in April.
The cover stars of Monday’s new issue of Cosmopolitan Australia magazine, The Veronicas say they feel more like themselves than ever before.
“We’ve spent so many years being The Veronicas,” Lisa told Cosmopolitan.
“For at least the first 10 to 12 years, it was 24/7. It was our identity.
“But when we had to step away from that role, it was a moment that really forced us to just be ourselves.”
Jess added: “I think we have reached this point in ourselves, in our lives, in our careers, where we want people to get to know Lisa and Jess and we’re ready — we’re really ready for that.”
Born from their struggles with sensitive skin, the brand was created to fill the gap in the market for allergen-free, auto-immune-friendly makeup options.
“We both have histamine intolerance and sensitive immune responses,” Jess said.
“For years, we couldn’t find makeup that didn’t cause flare-ups.
“It’s not just a celebrity makeup brand.
“It’s something we believe in and are passionate about.”
While embracing this new chapter, the twins remain deeply connected to their musical legacy.
“I hope that one day our fans hear our songs when they’re 85 and just think, ‘Those are some bad bitches,” Jess told Cosmopolitan.
Their exclusive interview also delves into their queer influences, their upbringing, writing from a queer perspective, navigating body image, and dealing with public scrutiny.
