The middle of June is just around the corner. We know, where has the time gone? And despite COVID-19 pressing the pause button on all Pride events and parades, it has not stopped the rest of us from carrying on the rainbow celebrations!

While we are all doing our bit to support the LGBTQ+ community, each year the beauty industry goes above and beyond to show their love for equality. Whether that be a new line of Pride products, giving their staple lip gloss a rainbow revamp, or donating to charities, the beauty community never lets us down.

So, to grow the support and celebrate Pride, shop some of our favourite Pride edition products we’ve selected at Voir. We’ll race you to it!

Morphe: Free to Be Collection

Not only has Morphe given us real makeup inspo of late, but it is also paving the way forward in supporting those in the LGBTQ+ community.

To celebrate Pride, Morphe released a limited-edition ‘Free to Be’ collection. The line, which you can buy right now, includes an eye shadow palette (of course, featuring a range of classic Pride shades), brush collection and lip gloss.

And to make the launch all the more important, they announced that 100% of the proceeds will be given to GLSEN; an organisation helping to ensure safe education environments for queer and trans children. Time to get shopping.

Vaseline

Vaseline have even done their bit to sprinkle a bit of Pride onto their classic petroleum jelly balm and has been made in partnership with Switchboard. A helpline which offers support for those in the LGBTQ+ community.

However, you’ll have to hold your horses on this one. It won’t be launched until the 15th June 2020. Sorry about that!

Batiste Love is Love Dry Shampoo

If we weren’t feeling the love already, we are now. Batiste revamped their popular dry shampoo in honour of Pride 2020 and launched a ‘Love is Love’ special edition. Of course, smelling as good as always with a fruity and floral fragrance.

Not only have will it leave you with proud looking hair, Batiste have also pledged that £30,000 will be donated to the LGBT foundation. Can it get better?

NYX

To celebrate Pride 2020, NYX have launched three new Pride products to mark the occasion, including an Ultimate Shadow Palette, Vivid Bright’s Eyeliner and Shout loud Lipstick. As you may have guessed, all in true Pride shades. These are going straight into our basket.

NYX have always stood tall for the LGBTQ+ community in saying ‘We believe in equality for all.’ So, their campaign doesn’t just last the month of June but strives for more! The campaign will run until Pride 2021 to help train and educate the public on how to be an LGBTQ+ ally.

Marc Jacobs: Beauty Enamoured Hydrating Lip Gloss Stick

Marc Jacobs have unleashed their Pride onto their own cult Enamoured Hydrating Lip Gloss Stick. It features one of five glossy shades and is housed in a special edition rainbow box. Now if that doesn’t scream Pride, we don’t know what will.

Better yet, Marc Jacobs are donating $10,000 to Sage, a non-profit who support older members of the LGBTQ+ community and $10,000 to Le Refuge in France which helps to prevent the suicide of victims of homophobia and transphobia.

Face Halo: Love is Love

‘Love yourself, love each other, love the environment’ is Face Halo’s motto. And we couldn’t agree more! Face Halo have only gone and dressed up their microfibre face clothes (500 single-use make-up remover wipes) with a rainbow trim to support the community!

Not only is the brand environmentally friendly, but are donating 5% of the profits to The Treavor Project in supporting Black LGBTQ+ youth. Round of applause everyone.

The post Flying High for Pride: Top Beauty Brands Showing Their Support appeared first on Voir Fashion.

1. Nailing It!

Everybody has found their nails looking worse for wear with the remnants of last week’s varnish scrapes left on when they’re rushing to a big event. The nightmare only worsens when you come to the realisation that you have run out of nail varnish remover. Not to fear, dot on a layer of nail varnish over the top of the nail scrapes and leave to soak for about 20 seconds. Wipe off the wet varnish with a cotton pad and you will find it brings off the under-layer along with it.

2. Lash Out!

Isn’t everyone just so sick of buying strip lashes over and over again for them to just be ruined after a few wears? Instead of throwing them in the bin, cut the strips into clusters and keep the cleaner, re-usable parts. Applying these clusters of lashes will create the perfect fluffy eyelash look or you can easily achieve the wispy cat eye look with longer clusters on the outer eyes.

3. Get The Glow

Trying to achieve that golden glowing look? Add this to the ‘Get-the-Glow’ rule book; never forget the ears. Adding a pop of highlight to your ears will help bring further structure to your face. This is mandatory for those hair-up days.

4. Powder Your Nose

OK, don’t panic with this one. Applying the correct blusher to your nose makes for a cute and rosy look. Yes, you read it correctly; blusher on the nose. Be sure to stay away from red and blue toned blushers and only use peachy ones with a light hand. I learnt this technique from Victoria’s Secret 2016 show and I promise, you’ll never look back.

5. Lush for Lashes

Vaseline is without a doubt the most notorious product in the world of make-up. Pushing your eyelashes and eyebrows upwards with some of this before bed will encourage hair growth in an upwards motion. Repeating this will help you to achieve longer lashes as well as the infamous fluffy eyebrow look in the long term.

6. Colour My Lips

Here we have another reason why Vaseline is an absolute staple product in any make-up kit. You can literally create any lipstick shade with a little eye shadow pigment mixed into it. Yes, any shade. Let your artistic mind go wild.

7. Lip Salvage

Do you find yourself spending copious amounts of your hard-earned money on expensive lipsticks for them to be gone in a few weeks? Don’t be fooled by the deceiving packaging of the product. Using a blunt knife, carefully stick it down into the bottom of the lipstick and scrape out the remnants. Pat these down into an empty jar. Normally you’ll find about 1/5 of the lipstick hiding down there. Thank me later.
