While we might love the long hot summer days, it can be a challenge to look and feel fresh-faced.

You spend precious time applying your makeup, only to realise it’s melting away due to the heat and humidity the moment you step out the front door.

While it might be a challenge, it’s not impossible! Here are our top summer makeup secrets so you can look and feel your best all day long.

The first step? Invest in good quality, vegan and cruelty free cosmetics like the Emani range. You’ll know that you are only putting natural products on your skin – even better, our cosmetics will nourish it, so you look great even on those days you choose not to wear makeup.

Summer Makeup Secrets: 6 Must Haves!

Here are six products that are indispensable when it comes to your summer makeup routine:

1. Primer

Primer creates a smooth canvas for the rest of your makeup; it’s your first line of defence against the humidity and will ensure that your makeup goes on smoothly and stays in place!

Our Perfect 10 Vegan Primer Serum is a silicone free, vegan primer combined with a serum to nourish and hydrate your skin. Oh, and it fights sweat pimples too!

2. Foundation

Now that you are primed, it’s time for a little foundation – and we mean a little! In the hot and humid weather it’s counter-intuitive to slather it on. You need something light and something free from talc.

Most foundations, whether liquid or powder, contain talc – check the tiny print on the packaging! Talc is a cheap filler powder that is clogging your pores and causing breakouts.

Our Flawless Matte Foundation Powder is a talc free, lightweight foundation that absorbs oil and shine – just what you need on those sticky hot days.

3. Powder

Next step is a dusting of powder to set your makeup in place and give you a long-lasting matte finish. It also reduces shine on those oily places such as around your nose.

Bye Bye Shine Mattifying Powder is the perfect solution to keep you shine free all day.

4. Bronzer

So you’ve been doing the right thing and keeping your face out of the sun, but you wouldn’t mind looking a little sun-kissed.

A vegan bronzer is your new best friend! It’s a great way to warm up your face and add a little bit of depth and dimension.

Our vegan Copacabana Face Bronzer is a dual tone product that will give you a delicious summery glow.

5. Mascara

When it comes to mascara, you need to make sure that you are avoiding harsh chemicals.  The area around your eyes – and of course your eyes themselves – are delicate, and deserve a good quality vegan mascara.

Our soy infused, vegan, cruelty free mascara hydrates, smooths and nourishes your eyelashes without the clumping and smudging you often see on sweaty summer faces.

6. Lip Gloss

The perfect way to finish your summer makeup look is with a slick of moisturising lip gloss – it’s lighter weight than lipstick and helps to give that little bit of shimmer.

Choose one of our 7 different colours in our organic Lip Shine Gloss. There’s a shade for everyone.

Out of all of our summer makeup secrets, the most important one is that when you wear Emani, you aren’t just wearing makeup. You’re caring for your skin!

Love,
