The Ultimate Base— with Benefits.
EDM • BLOG
We’ve come leaps and bounds since we first dreamed up high-performing vegan makeup. As multitasking as you are, this makeup works hard! We’ve got five top tips for creating a base that will rival that of the screen sirens which inspired the brand.
Screen Siren Skin
Come up roses by applying our major multitasker the BB/CC cream. Buff all over your skin with your brush of choice to create a flawless finish. Serum, primer, with SPF protection plus enough coverage to act as a foundation on its own this is a liquid foundation that can go the miles. With a base of Rosewater this is a healing, luxurious step to evem out skintone, calming redness and soothing sensitive skins. In 5 tones the mineral pigments work in synergy with your skin blurring the lines between skincare and makeup. Wear on its own or under our Pressed Mineral Foundation [PMF].
Up the Anté
The showstopper when it comes to coverage, longevity and finish, Gemma Vendettas PMF will give you a seamless finish. Layered over the BB/CC cream or over the face oil or moisturiser of your choice apply with our vegan kabuki brush in circular motions all over the face. This will gloss over pores, add coverage and even out skintone. Soft and fluffy this brush gives quick and impressive coverage with our purely mineral pigmented powder foundation. Yes you can layer this look if you prefer something more dramatic or just buff into the areas that you like to blur. Perfect for sensitive, rosacea, acne prone skins due to its naturally antibacterial, soothing and non-comedogenic nature. It looks gorgeous on the skin and will not mask your natural beauty.
Creating Contour
Create shape and definition to the face. Using a slightly darker shade of the PMF or the 2:1 bronzer/blush pinch the vegan kabuki brush at the base of the bristles quickly transforming your new favourite brush into a contouring tool. Apply in a sweeping motion into the hollow of the cheekbone and blend back into the hairline. Sweep over the corners of the forehead, over the nose and under the jawline/down the neck. These steps will add the pro finish to your makeup that you've been seeking.
Enough To make you Blush
Make your complexion pop with a choice of three tones in our vegan natural blush. Shimmery in pinks and tangerine this compact creates the perfect flush to cheeks. Swipe high on the cheekbone up to the hair line for a lifted look. Stunning blended through the crease to add a sunlit glow to the eye makeup of your choice.
Starlight-er
Add a luminous finish with the mineral highlighter in liquid or pressed. This will have everyone wondering just how you are doing it! Lit, dewy and radiant. Curve this around your temples to the tops of cheekbones to catch and reflect the light. Pro tip- blend your highlighter into your blush for a soft glow finish. Tap into the inner corner of eyes, cupids bow and breeze over collarbones this highlighter will leave everyone starry eyed.
