Summertime Make-up Tips
How to Make Your Make-up Last!
Days in the sun and nights in the rain, that’s how the UK does Summer! But those hot days will really be heating us up. Although we can deff rock no makeup, there’s times when we want an extra oomph with our look and the sweltering sun shouldn’t stop us from that! So, check out benecos’ top tips for sweat-proof makeup.
Prime prime prime!
The lightweight formula of our vegan Natural Face Primer is the perfect base for a seamless finish. Take a tiny amount and gently rub into your t-zone, this is the area where you’re most likely to get shiny, so we want to target that. Remember, in the heat, less is more!
Conceal and chill
In this heat we do not want to feel anything sitting uncomfortably on our face, however, we may get the odd blemish that we wish to conceal. Using a handy palette like our Natural CC Concealer with multiple shades for concealing, you can spot correct without needing to have a layer of makeup over your entire face. How to colour correct? The green neutralises redness, perfect for blemishes, the purple brightens dark spots, the pink conceals dark circles and the beige hides shadows. Try using a small brush for detailed application, like our Angled Brush that has a pointed edge for precision.
A top tip
Now, you’re going to have to trust us with this one. Using a little bit of our Natural Mineral Powder, press a small amount lightly into your skin, specifically in areas that get shiny first. Doing this step before your other base products will create a stronger foundation, the thin layer of powder will prevent that sticky feeling and act as a barrier for sweat.
Set it and forget it
Using a powder is essential if you don’t want your cream products to smudge, the benecos Natural Translucent Powder provides a colourless yet mattifying finish to your look to seal all your hard work in! A little goes a long way, and this compact is handy to keep with you for touch ups when you’re enjoying your summer adventures.
Go get it, gel
Keep your eyebrows looking snatched with our Natural Eyebrow Gel, the small brush provides easy and precise application to keep your brow hairs in place all day. Go for the clear brow gel or opt in for our ash brown or brunette brow gel to give your brows more fullness and definition.
My lipgloss is cool, my lipgloss is popping!
There’s nothing worse than that sticky feeling on your lips when you’re already feeling the humidity. Our Natural Lipgloss adds a gorgeous shine without feeling tacky, while the soft wand provides smooth application. You can keep your lips cute and colourful without having a thick, heavy layer on them whilst the organic sunflower oil keeps your lips nourished with every use.
