Now that we’re firmly in the 30×30 routine, our beauty bag has also found permanent residence by the gym bag. Because sometimes, looking good is half the motivation needed to actually make it to the workout. So here are the beauty essentials that are going through the 30×30 fitness routine along with us.
ABIB | Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar
No matter the season, no routine can truly start with a good SPF. What we love about this one is its curved design which helps to get all the contours of the face. Water-resistant and formulated with allantoin and sunflower seed oil, the SPF glides on the skin and leaves behind a matte finish, priming the skin for makeup while also being a refreshing topper during the day.
E.L.F. COSMETICS | Soft Glam Satin Foundation
Made to feel like a second skin, the Soft Glam Satin Foundation is hydrating, breathable, and lasts all day without caking, creasing, or getting oxidised. The formulation features a Hydrating Hibiscus Complex and pomegranate, blueberry, and goji berry extracts to help with the skin barrier, while the satin finish gives that My Skin But Better look. This is a go-to especially for those who like the idea of a skin tint but need just a bit more coverage.
Tarte | Travel-Size Shape Tape™ Full Coverage Matte Concealer
A concealer that needs no introduction, the Shape Tape™is beloved for a reason. Formulated with mango seed and shea butters, the concealer easily blends into the skin without any flakiness or creasing. It also works as a contour and highlight.
Milk Makeup | Cooling Water Jelly Tint – Sheer Lip + Cheek Stain
With limited real estate, we’re prioritising the versatile beauty that can pull in a double-duty shift. Which is exactly why we love a tint that can work as a blush and lip combo. This tint by Milk Makeup comes in a handy stick format with a hydrating texture, so all that needs to be done is glide it across the skin and blend.
Fenty Beauty | Mini Invisimatte Instant + Setting Blotting Powder
Those with oily skin may avoid makeup altogether when working out but a blotting powder changes the whole game. This one by Fenty Beauty is formulated with chia seed extract to take care of the skin all while setting and extending makeup wear, blurring pores, and mattifying any excess shine you can expect.
OLEHENRIKSEN | Pout Preserve Lip Treatment
For those who wear nothing but a lip balm, switch it up for this lip treatment. With 8 shades to choose from—4 natural and 4 glimmers—this lip treatment works as a balm, a gloss, and a full-blown treatment that works on the skin. Peptides take care of the lip’s natural shape and appearance, while kokum butter, mango seed butter, and cloudberry oil plump the lips and hydrate them. Whereas each shade gives a natural colour payoff and an uplifting scent.
Too Faced | Hangover 3-in-1 Setting Spray – Replenishing Primer and Spray
With coconut water, probiotic-based ingredients, and skin revivers in its formulation, this spray by Too Faced works in three ways. It can be used either as a primer, a setting spray, or a refresher, and after a challenging workout, the latter gives the skin a much-needed boost.
OUAI | Fragrance Mist – Melrose Place
When it comes to fragrances, even our scents need to multitask which is why we’re reaching out for this Fragrance Mist by OUAI. A hair and body mist, you can choose where to place the scent, either close to the skin or leaving a trail within the hair. The sweet-spicy scent makes it perfect after a workout, where notes of pink peppercorn, rose, woods, and musks leave behind a fresh, sweet silage.
