Back-to-School Beauty: Quick and Easy Morning Routines

August 9, 2023

Summer's glow might be winding down, but that doesn't mean your radiance has to fade. As we transition into the school season, FancyBoxy understands the beauty nuances of our dark-skinned beauties. Here's our guide to a quick and effective beauty routine designed especially for you:

1. The 5-Minute Radiant Face:

Tinted Moisturiser with SPF: Begin with a moisturiser that complements the rich hues of dark skin. GoldenRose NUDE LOOK Radiance Tinted Moisturiser not only offers coverage but also provides SPF protection specifically formulated for melanin-rich skin.
Brows: Define your brows with GoldenRose Longstay Precise Brow Liner Pencil 104. It comes in shades tailored for darker brow hairs, ensuring a natural finish.
Mascara: Enhance your lashes with GoldenRose Define Lashes Maxime Eyes Volume Boost Mascara. It's designed to lift and volumize without clumping, making your eyes stand out.
Lip and Cheek Tint: Go for products with rich pigments. GoldenRose Lip Barrier Transparent Lip Pencil is perfect for both lips and cheeks, giving them a natural flush of colour.

2. Hair Hack – The Puff: Short on time? The puff is an iconic style for naturalistas. Gather your curls upwards, secure with a satin or silk scrunchie to maintain moisture, and you're set! To keep those edges sleek, Aunt Jackie's tame my edges Edge Control Gel is a must-have.

3. Skin Glow All Day: Urban environments, classroom lights, and study stress can sometimes dull the skin. Keep your glow going by misting your face with Shea Moisture Coconut&Hibiscus Hold&Shine Hydrating Mist formulated with ingredients like rose water and aloe vera which cater to African skin types.

4. Gentle Evening Cleanse: Dark skin can sometimes be prone to hyperpigmentation from even the smallest blemishes. Ensure you use a gentle makeup remover like Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water for Dark Skin which cleanses without drying, ensuring an even skin tone.

Pro Tip: For touch-ups during the day, invest in blotting sheets designed for darker skin tones. They absorb excess oil without leaving a whitish cast.

Returning to school is exciting, and with these beauty tips tailored for our dark-skinned customers, you're bound to make an impression. Trust FancyBoxy to understand your unique beauty needs. Here's to a radiant school year ahead!
