Customising Beauty: How to Do Makeup That Matches Your Lifestyle
There’s no right way to do makeup. Finding your own unique makeup routine and makeup products that suit your skin and lifestyle can make your life so much easier. Choosing the right products means learning about their formula, ingredients, and how they will suit your skin type.
Whether it’s finding the best makeup for dry skin or switching to vegan makeup, your choices should work for you and not the other way around. Don’t worry, The Body Shop’s makeup range has got every side of you covered. Here’s how you can customise your beauty routine so it aligns perfectly with your daily life and needs.
1. The Hustle-and-Bustle Boss: Quick and Long-Lasting Makeup
If your days are packed with meetings, errands or travel, you need makeup that’s efficient and long-wearing. Start with a good foundation for oily skin if you’re prone to shine or a hydrating base if you have dry skin. We recommend our mattifying Tea Tree Face Base for oily skin folks and the OG Fresh Nude Foundation for dry skin peeps.
For eyes, choose a waterproof mascara and a neutral eyeshadow stick for quick application. A multitasking lipstick that doubles as a blush (hello: Sheer Touch Lip and Cheek Tint) will save you time while keeping your look polished. Finally, a setting spray will lock everything in place so you can conquer the day without worrying about touch-ups.
2. The Skincare Devotee: Nourishing and Minimalist Makeup
For those who prioritise skincare, just a few makeup products that enhance your natural beauty is the way to go. Start with our Second Skin Tint that moisturises and protects the skin while providing a light natural-looking coverage. The best part? It’s non-comedogenic and suits all skin types, even sensitive skin.
Add a touch of cream blush for a fresh, healthy glow, and finish with a tinted lip balm for a soft, effortless look. Try our Swipe It Moisturising Lip Balm, which comes in five natural-looking colours and is certified by The Vegan Society.
3. The Trendsetter: Bold and Creative Makeup
If you love experimenting with colours and trends, your makeup should reflect that. A full-coverage foundation that offers a radiant finish is a great canvas for bold looks. Hide any blemishes or dark circles with our Vitamin C Concealer which offers long-lasting coverage without creasing.
Play with graphic eyeliners, vibrant eyeshadows or glossy finishes for an editorial touch. Try our Freestyle Multi-Tasking Crayons to break all make-up rules. Complete your daring style with a statement lipstick, whether it’s a classic red or an unconventional hue.
4. The Eco-Conscious Beauty Enthusiast: Sustainable and Cruelty-Free Makeup
For those who prioritise sustainability, vegetarian makeup and eco-friendly products are essential. Fortunately, The Body Shop has no dearth of makeup products that come with ethically sourced ingredients and refillable, recyclable packaging. Plus, try using multipurpose products that will help reduce waste and simplify your routine.
A lightweight, breathable foundation or just a concealer where needed is enough. Choose a tinted lip balm that complements your natural lip colour for an easy, polished look. Stick to a small, curated set of products that you can apply without any guilt.
