Although the global pandemic has pushed us all indoors, there’s no reason for us not to celebrate Pride Month. Whilst we can’t march in parades, we can show our support in a variety of different ways, such as donating to the right charities or by buying beauty products! Yes, you read that correctly. Several beauty brands have pledged their support by tying up with charitable organisations that champion the LGBTQIA+ community. Some of them have also launched limited-edition products in honour of Pride Month, so you can show your support by adding these beauties to your cart!
1. Marc Jacobs Enamored (With Pride) Hydrating Lip Gloss Stick
These plush products are here to transform your pout. Not only do they coat your lips in an ultra-reflective coat of colour, but also nourish them with vitamin E and kahai oil. Whilst all the 5 shades are gorgeous, you should definitely consider picking up ‘Dancing Sheen’, which is a clear, shimmery product that looks great when worn alone, but even better when topped over a bold hue!
2. NYX Cosmetics Pride Edition Ultimate Shadow Palette
Featuring 16 vivid shades, ranging from a bright turquoise to a sunny yellow, this palette is all you need when it comes to rainbow-hued eye makeup. The shadows also come in different finishes (matte, satin and metallic) so that your makeup can look multidimensional.
3. Temptu Air In Metallic Rainbow Perfect Canvas Starter Kit
Loved by makeup artists all around the world, this handy device is a genius at delivering a flawless, airbrushed finished. Created for the brand’s Perfect Canvas Airpod Foundation, a semi-matte formula that is available in 24 shades, this machine mists the skin uniformly to deliver natural-looking coverage.
4. Batiste Love Is Love Dry Shampoo
Who here doesn’t love dry shampoo? This limited-edition bottle features the original, grease-sopping formula in a fruity and floral scent. Trust me, with a few spritzes of this, your tresses will have never looked or smelled better!
5. Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear #Pride Collection
Nail art has always been considered as a creative way of expressing your emotions. This collection features an array of beautiful shades that stay put for days on end.
6. Youth To The People With Pride Minis Kit
Featuring miniature versions of the brand’s bestsellers, this skincare kit does a whole lot of good for the Pride movement and your skin! The Superfood Cleanser ensures that your face is free of any grime and makeup, whilst the Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial gently exfoliates to slough off dead skin. There’s also a tiny jar of the Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask, which is a vitamin C-enriched formula that works to hydrate and brighten your skin.
7. Morphe Brushes Free To Be Collection
Setting spray, lip gloss, an eyeshadow palette, makeup brushes… this collection literally has it all! With holographic packaging and rainbow lettering, this gorgeous range proudly extends its support to the LGBTQIA+ community.
It’s truly amazing to see these brands step up and do their bit! I hope they inspire all of us to speak out and pledge our support to this important movement.
