March 8th is International Women’s Day, which means this special day is dedicated to celebrating and honoring all of the women in your life. While we certainly celebrate women every day, this holiday is a fun way to give women the extra love that they deserve! This week on the blog, we interviewed three different women about what makes them feel beautiful and the best advice they have received from other women.   Laurie McKee Laurie is a makeup lover based out of Chicago and posts various makeup and skincare reels on her Instagram @lauriesfaves. We love following along on her Instagram journey as she posts makeup for women over 40 and is the creator of the #fullfaceanyage hashtag! Laurie gave us super insightful answers in our interview and we loved speaking with her. Q: How does PÜR Beauty make you feel more beautiful? “PÜR Beauty makes me feel more beautiful because of the skincare infused ingredients. While I love makeup, I feel like I’ve grown smarter about what products I’m using and applying to my skin. Knowing that my makeup is actually good for my skin gives me confidence. Confidence is beautiful!” Q: What PÜR Beauty product makes you feel most beautiful? “The Thursday On Point Eyeshadow Palette with its cool mauve shades makes me feel beautiful. The shades can easily go from day/office to date night looks. This was the only palette I brought with me on my last vacation and I was completely satisfied and didn’t feel lost without my huge eyeshadow collection. Blendable mattes and shimmers that apply like a dream with my finger. It’s perfection!” Q: What’s the best advice another woman has given you? “Empowered women empower women. In life, there is so much competition and a healthy dose of competition can be motivating, for sure. However, as I’ve grown older, it’s become much more apparent to me that women can go so much further when they work together. It doesn’t require much to be supportive to other women, to mentor and to just lend an ear. The sky’s the limit when you have a support system to keep you in check and motivated. As the mother of two daughters, it’s important for me to show them how competent they can be on their own, but to always be mindful of anyone that could use their support. You get what you give.♥️”     Jazmine Minjarez Jazmine is a long time PÜR beauty lover, and we have loved being able to follow along with her makeup journey on her Instagram @_justjazzythings_! Jazmine posts stunning makeup looks and gives all the deets on how she does it. We loved being able to interview her! Q: How does PÜR Beauty make you feel more beautiful? “PÜR Beauty makes me feel more beautiful by providing simple, high quality and easy to use products that fit all skin types! Seeing products on different shades of skin and different textures of skin makes me feel more included and “seen”, and to me I think that’s amazing and make me feel more beautiful.” Q: What PÜR Beauty product makes you feel most beautiful? “My all-time favorite PÜR Beauty product that makes me feel most beautiful is the Skin Perfecting Powder Blushing Act. I feel like it completes my make up look by giving me a natural touch of color and glow which makes me feel beautiful and ready for the day” Q: What’s the best advice another woman has given you? “The best advice I have ever been given from another woman is to surround yourself with women who will lift you up and empower you.”   Azeanne Jones Azeanne is a makeup artist based out of Toronto, Canada. She frequently posts her and her clients makeup looks both on her personal Instagram @ennaezaa and her makeup artistry Instagram @azysbeautyy. We love seeing all of her glamorous looks and we loved her answers in our interview! Q: How does PÜR Beauty make you feel more beautiful? “PÜR Beauty helps me feel more beautiful because it’s quality makeup. I’m able to feel confident and comfortable knowing the staying power and flawless finish is consistent for my 8 hour shifts or for my fun nights out!” Q: What PÜR Beauty product makes you feel most beautiful? “I love the Love Your Selfie Longwear Foundation & Concealer. The finish is amazing and really helps hide texture. It’s one that I suggest to a lot of my clients.” Q: What’s the best advice another woman has given you? “The best advice another woman has given me is that it’s okay to consider my needs first. It’s okay to take care of myself and consider my feelings when making decisions. There’s nothing wrong with considering people but remember that you’re a person too.”   To shop the products mentioned by these three PÜR beauties, or other bestselling beauty and skincare, head to purcosmetics.com

February 14th is right around the corner, and that means it is time to decide on some Valentine’s Day makeup and gift ideas! Whether you are deciding on your look for a romantic date or a night out with friends, we’ve got you covered. Keep reading for our sweet Valentine’s makeup ideas that can also be used as gifts for friends!   Soft and Sweet For our first Valentine’s inspired makeup look, we have this soft and subtle eyeshadow using one of our On Point Eyeshadow Palettes in shade Wednesday (Neutrals). This look is perfect for a Galentine’s date with friends, or this palette would be a great gift for a friend that enjoys trying out new eyeshadow looks. To recreate this simple yet sweet eyeshadow, follow the steps below: Step 1: With a fluffy blending brush, use shade “We Wear Pink” all over the eyelid up to the crease. Blend the color outwards so it fans out towards the tail of the eyebrow. Step 2: Next, with either a packing eyeshadow brush or your finger, apply shade “Polo Club” all over the eyelid. Be careful not to take this color up too high because we want the pink in the crease to show. Step 3: Last but not least, use Fully Charged Mascara Powered by Magnetic Technology by placing the mascara wand at the base of lashes and wiggle the wand back-and-forth and repeat to build.    I’m Blushing! For a blushing appearance, our Skin Perfecting Powder Blushing Act in Berry Beautiful is the perfect color to add a rosy flush to the face. We love this blushing look for an outdoor picnic or something where you don’t want to have on *toooo* much makeup but still want to have a little color. If you want to share the love of blush this Valentine’s day, we suggest giving one of our Blushing Acts to one of your besties. To give yourself this blushing moment, follow the steps below: Step 1: To make sure our face makeup lasts all day, begin with 4-in-1 Correcting Primer Prep & Perfect and apply all over the face and rubbing the primer in with your hands. Step 2: Next, once your skin is primed, apply our 4-in-1 Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 to help enhance the look of your complexion. You can apply this with your hands or a chisel brush depending on your preference. Step 3: Now, for the star of the show, apply shade Berry Beautiful in our Skin Perfecting Powder Blushing Act with a fluffy brush along the apples of the cheeks.   Give ‘Em a Kiss To give your lips the Valentine’s Day treatment, try out our Silky Pout Creamy Lip Chubby in shade Raspberry Spritz! This sweet honey pink shade helps condition and protect your lips while giving a natural flush of pigment-rich color. This look is perfect for a romantic dinner or a brunch with friends! If you have a girlfriend that loves trying out new lip colors, this would also be a perfect gift. To learn how to recreate this all-pink look, follow the steps below: Step One: Using a Silky Pout Creamy Lip Chubby in shade Raspberry Spritz, apply the color on the apples of the cheeks and blend with your finger for a cream blush look. Step Two: With the same Raspberry Spritz, dab the Lip Chubby on the lips until desired opaqueness is desired for a perfectly monochrome look.   All the Drama For a look with a dramatic flair, try adding a winged eyeliner! Our On Point Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pen has a fine, flexible, felt-tip applicator that gently glides along the lash line to give eyes instant definition. We love adding a winged eyeliner when taking a makeup look from day to night to add a sultry look. If you have a friend who always has on winged liner, this would also be a great gift idea! To learn how to apply liquid eyeliner, follow the steps below: Step One: Hold the eyeliner pen in the inner corner of the eye. Gently glide the pen along the lash line holding the pen still and steady. Step Two: Once you get to the end of the eye, gently flick the eyeliner upwards and out to create a wing. **Pro tip: Use a piece of tape and place it on the edge of your outer lash line where you want your wing to go. Draw the wing along the tape and then remove the tape. Viola! A clean winged eyeliner.   To shop more bestselling beauty to create your perfect Valentine’s Day look, or if you are searching for more gift ideas for your girlfriends, head to purcosmetics.com

Are you wondering how celebrities and influencers always have picture-perfect makeup? We reached out to professional makeup artist Jamie Greenberg, who is a LA based makeup artists with celebrity clients such as Radisha Jones and Kaley Cuoco, to find out her tips and tricks so our makeup can be flawless for all of your upcoming holiday parties this season.     Step 1: Start with Clean Skin Starting with clean skin is an essential first step for any MUA approved makeup routine. Making sure that you are starting with a blank slate is the best way to ensure that your end result can look its best. We love starting with Forever Clean Gentle Cleanser to remove excess oil and help restore balance to the complexion. See why Jamie is so passionate about starting with clean skin below:   “I like to compare prepping your skin to preparing a canvas for a painting—you’re literally preparing your skin for the makeup you’re about to put on it!”     Step 2: Don’t Skip Out on Skincare! Using a brightening serum can help take your makeup to the next level. We love using Go with the Glow Niacinamide Drops to add a radiant-looking glow to the skin to help reduce redness and promote a brighter, plumper-looking complexion. Having a hydrating skincare routine before applying makeup will help your makeup last longer and look more natural throughout the day. We love what Jamie had to say about skincare below:   “Great skincare isn’t even an option… it’s like drinking water. EVERYONE NEEDS IT! Half of a good makeup look comes from prepping the skin beforehand. Cleansing, hydrating, using SPF… all of that contributes so much to the looks you see on red carpets or Instagram. On top of that, the better your skincare routine, the less makeup you need to achieve that gorgeous glow we all strive for. It’s a no brainer… take care of your skin!”      Step 3: Eyes Before Face Applying your eye makeup before going in with foundation and/or concealer allows you to clean up any fallen eyeshadow or smudged eyeliner without messing up your base. This is especially true if you are going in with darker eyeshadow colors that may have fallout. One of our favorite palettes for holiday parties is our On Point Eyeshadow Palette in shade “Saturday (Bolds).” This color story is so fun for holiday glam and can help you create the perfect smoky eye. See Jamie’s technique for applying eyeshadow below:   “Don’t be afraid to blend some darker colors in the corners of your eyes. Some days I like to put a lighter shade on my lid and blend darker into the corner and some days I like to do dark on my lid and get lighter as I go up. I love the idea of using [eyeshadow] as an eyeliner as well.”     Step 4: Don’t Go Too Heavy with Foundation When doing a full glam makeup look, there is no need to pile on foundation! We love using a tinted moisturizer like our 4-in-1 Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 when doing party makeup as it is more comfortable on the skin and allows your natural skin to shine through (especially with the proper skincare!). See why Jamie reaches for our tinted moisturizer below:   “It moisturizes, primes, covers, and protects from the sun. The ingredients are amazing: Sodium Hyaluronate, Aloe and Vitamin E to hydrate, Ceretin Complex with Retinol to diminish the look of lines and wrinkles, and Chamomile and Shea Butter to help soothe.”     Step 5: Neutral Lips to Balance Out Sparkly Eyes When doing a bold smoky eye, we like to balance out our look with a neutral lip. Our Silky Pout Creamy Lip Chubby in shade Blushing Rose is a perfect dusty nude to pair with a dark eye look. Silky Pout has a creamy skincare-infused formula that helps to condition and protect lips while leaving a natural flush of pigment rich color. See Jamie’s review on our Lip Chubbies below:   “These are so easy to swipe on. They feel great. You can layer them, wear them alone, and or put a gloss on top of it. And of course, they’re good for you.”   If you try out any of these tips for your next holiday party or event, be sure to tag us @purcosmetics so we can check out your looks!

One of the best parts about spring is getting to switch up your skin care and beauty routine for the warmer months. From an SPF moisturizer, toner and skincare exfoliator to adding a more hydrating serum and skin treatment into your skin care routine—spring is the time to help refresh the look of your complexion and prep for that summertime glow. And while our skin tends to get a lot of attention in the warm weather (hello, don’t forget sunscreen), there is one very important part of the face that we tend to overlook: the lips. That’s right, your pout deserves the same love and attention that you give to your skin. Not only are the lips more delicate than your complexion, but between all that talking, chewing and breathing, they put in the work. So, treat your lips to some TLC this spring with 3 easy steps that will help rev up your lip routine: 1. Exfoliate Your Pout Exfoliation is key to polishing away dry, dull skin—even on the lips. If you tend to have lips that are cracked or peeling, work in a light lip exfoliation 1-2x a week. This will help sluff away chapped skin while giving the lips a refreshing pick-me-up (something we could all use for spring.) To help exfoliate, feel free to use a gentle sugar scrub that is specifically formulated for the lips or apply your favorite face exfoliator to the pout in gentle circular motions. 2. Apply a Lip Treatment Yet again, just like your skin, your lips need their own special treatment—preferably in the form of an actual lip treatment. Similar to lip balms, a lip treatment tends to have a thicker texture that coats the lips in nourishing skincare ingredients and helps lock in moisture. Applying a lip treatment throughout the week (or throughout the day) will help indulge your lips to the hydrating ingredients they need to look their best, while giving you the perfect base to lay a matte red lipstick or shiny nude lip gloss. Reach For: Forever Soft Rejuvenating Lip Treatment | Formulated with CBD and Sunflower Oil, this Rejuvenating Lip Treatment wraps the lips in a cooling sensation and helps instantly nourish the skin for a softer, smoother-looking pout. 3. Mix Makeup and Skincare No, we aren’t saying to mix your moisturizer into your lipstick—because we’ve already done it for you (sort of). The beauty of PÜR is that all of our products are infused with skincare inspired ingredients that help indulge the skin while you wear them. The same holds true for our lip products! Next time you want to rock a bold lip or a nude pout, make sure to choose multi-tasking products that cater to your lips needs while helping you look utterly stunning. Finding a staple lipstick or lip gloss that features hydrating ingredients like CBD, Vitamin E and Fruit Extracts will help nourish the lips and leave your pout looking soft and supple. Reach For: 4-in-1 Lip Duo | Flaunt your lips however you choose with this versatile Lip Duo that features a creamy, matte lip stain on one end and a hydrating lip oil on the other. Packed with Agave, Cranberry and Sunflower Oil, this highly pigmented Lip Duo moisturizes and nourishes the lips while coating them in stand-out colour. OR Hybrid Balm CBD Hydrating Tinted Lip and Cheek Balm | When “natural” lip days are calling, indulge your lips to the Hybrid Balm that nourishes, moisturizes and hydrates the lips with the help of CBD, Shea Butter and Vitamin C.
