Hot weather, long days, and outdoor plans can take a toll on your makeup — but that doesn’t mean compromising on a flawless, feel-good finish. Whether you're heading to a beach escape, city break, or simply tackling a heatwave at home, these summer-proof essentials will help your look stay fresh, lightweight and confidently in place.
Here’s how to build a clean, breathable routine that stands up to summer.
1. Start with a Smooth Canvas
Makeup lasting power starts with your base. Create a smooth, hydrated surface with Hydrate Day Cream, then give your complexion a boost with BB Cream — it delivers light coverage, SPF, and a naturally radiant finish without clogging pores or sliding off in the heat.
Need a little extra help? Mineral Concealer targets areas of redness or pigmentation, and blends seamlessly for a soft-focus effect.
2. Prime for Performance
Don’t skip primer — it’s your first line of defence against creasing, fading, and humidity. Apply a small amount of Eye Primer to keep shadows and liners in place (and prevent smudging), especially on warm days when lids can get oily fast.
3. Choose Buildable, Breathable Layers
Powders work beautifully in summer when applied with a light hand. Use Mineral Foundation or Finishing Powder with the Super Kabuki Brush to set your base and control shine. Buff it in well — this technique helps lock everything down and improves wear without heaviness.
For touch-ups on the go, the Baby Buki Brush is a handbag essential.
4. Make It Stay: Eyes & Lips Edition
- Eyes: Apply Mineral Eye Shadow with a damp brush for a long-wearing, high-impact finish that resists creasing.
- Lips: Outline and fill in with a Lip Pencil, then layer with Vegan Lipstick or Natural Lip Gloss. The pencil acts as a base, helping colour stay vibrant and defined through heat, drinks, and summer dinners.
5. Keep It Clean Between Uses
Brush hygiene is key to keeping skin happy — especially in summer. Gently wash your tools weekly using warm water and a mild cleanser to remove product build-up, oils, and bacteria. The Angled Brow Spoolie Brush and Tapered Blending Brush are must-haves for targeted summer looks, so keep them in top shape.
Lightweight. Long-lasting. 100% You.
Clean beauty and high performance go hand in hand — and with the right prep, tools and techniques, your makeup can work as hard as you do this summer.
