Upgrade Your Skin Prep Routine for Flawless-Looking Makeup with PUR!

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Jan 16 2024
When doing your makeup, it is super important to prep your skin before applying any foundation or complexion products! Prepping your skin can help your makeup apply smoothly and will help your makeup look better throughout the day. This week in the blog, we are sharing our favorite skin prep products to help you give yourself a flawless-looking complexion! Start with Freshly Cleansed Skin The first step in our skin prep routine is a cleanser! Forever Clean is a Gentle Cleanser that helps replenish skin and restore balance to the complexion as it helps gently remove any dirt or makeup. Formulated with Green Tea, Ginseng, and Vitamin B, Forever Clean helps hydrate and soothe the look of skin, making it a perfect first step in a skin prep routine! Hydrate Your Undereyes After cleansing your skin, we recommend applying our Mellow Eyes Help Hydrogel Rejuvenating Eye Patches! These undereye patches are great for skin prep as they help reduce the look of puffiness and brighten and smooth the look of your undereye area. Formulated with Cucumber Extract, Green Tea Extract, and Argan Oil, these hydrogel eye patches help plump and prep the undereyes. We recommend applying Mellow Eyes after cleansing your skin and leaving them on for 10-20 minutes while you do the rest of your skin prep. Apply a Multitasking Serum Next, we recommend applying our Go with the Glow Niacinamide Drops to help give your skin a more radiant-looking glow! These multitasking drops are great for makeup prep as they help lock in hydration and soothe and soften the look of skin. Formulated with Squalane, Vitamin C, and a Superfood Blend, Go with the Glow helps even the look of skin for a brighter-looking appearance. Don’t Forget Moisturizer! As the last step of your skin prep routine, we recommend applying Cloud Cream to help hydrate, soothe, smooth and prime your complexion. This dreamy, all-in-one Gel-to-Water Hydrating Essence Moisturizer deeply hydrates skin as it preps for makeup application. Formulated with Aloe and Green Tea Extract, Cloud Cream helps reduce the look of dark spots and redness as it quickly absorbs into the skin before you apply any complexion products.

Here at PÜR, we offer numerous multitasking makeup products to help you save time in your routines while enhancing your natural beauty. This week in the blog, we are sharing some of our must-have makeup products to help you get more out of your makeup in 2024!

This all-in-one powder serves as a foundation, concealer, finishing powder and SPF 15 protection while instantly giving skin a smoother-looking appearance. Formylated with Waltheria Extract to help brighten and our Ceretin Complex to help improve the look of skin tone and texture, 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup is a must-have in your simplified makeup routine! Monochromatic Lips and Cheeks Another product we recommend to start multitasking is our Silky Pout Creamy Lip Chubby! This 2-in-1 product works for both lips and cheeks for a naturally-flushed look.

Multipurpose Highlighter Our No Filter Primer Blurring Photography Primer is one of our favorites for multitasking! Formulated with Hemp Seed Oil and Prismatic Blurring Micro-Pearls, this primer helps conceal the look of imperfections for a natural, radiant-looking finish. This skin-loving primer comes in three illuminating shades that work both under makeup and on top of foundation! We recommend applying No Filter under foundation to help illuminate the look of skin, as well as on top of foundation on the cheekbones, nose, and brow bone as a liquid highlighter. Sculpting Concealer as a Highlighter and Contour Another multitasker that we love is our 4-in-1 Sculpting Concealer! This Concealer with Skincare Ingredients helps conceal imperfections, as well as a contour and highlight! Choosing a shade that is slightly lighter than your skin tone can help brighten areas on the face, such as the undereye area, while choosing a concealer a couple of shades darker than your natural skin tone is great for contouring under the cheekbones to give yourself natural-looking definition.

New Year’s Eve Made Pure and Simple

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Dec 27 2023
While New Year’s Eve is traditionally a holiday full of glamour and celebration, it is also a time for new beginnings! This week in the blog, we are going to share some pure and simple makeup tips to help elevate your natural beauty for the new year. Multitasking Color The first makeup tip we have been loving for the new year is matching your blush and lip color for an effortlessly monochromatic look. This can be achieved with our Silky Pout Creamy Lip Chubby! Available in four different shades, this creamy skincare-infused pencil is formulated with Sunflower Seed Oil and Rosemary Leaf Extract to help condition skin with a natural flush of pigment-rich color for both the lips and cheeks. Natural-Looking Glow Our Skin Perfecting Powder Afterglow Illuminating Highlighter is the perfect champagne-tinted color to add some radiance to the skin for the new year! The creamy formula goes on like a powder and melts into the skin for a natural-looking finish. Instead of only applying highlighter on the cheeks, we also love to apply it on the tip of the nose, the upper brow bone, and the inner corner of the eyes to have a luminous-looking glow on places other than just your cheekbones! Brown Eyeliner A simple way to elevate any look for the new year is to add some eyeliner! Our On Point Eyeliner Pencil in shade Down to Earth is the perfect eyeliner to add a touch of warmth and smokiness to your eye makeup. This self-sharpening gel eyeliner pencil helps deliver maximum color payoff with precise application with a rich brown color that pairs perfectly with our On Point Eyeshadow Palettes. The skincare-infused formula helps moisturize lashes while conditioning the skin around the lash line with a long wear time. Longer-Looking Lashes Another product we love for a pure and simple makeup look is mascara! Fully Charged Mascara Powered by Magnetic Technology is an easy way to help elevate any look as it coats each individual lash for thicker, more volumized-looking lashes. The lash-loving mascara formula helps fight premature lash fallout for lashes that speak volumes with one simple flutter.

The Ultimate Makeup Hack: Sandwich Concealer

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Nov 16 2023
If you have ever struggled with a blemish or imperfection on your skin before a big event, you know how stressful it can be to try to cover it up with makeup! This week in the blog we are sharing a step-by-step tutorial on the “sandwich concealer” trend that can help make your blemish less noticeable in no time! Step 1: Setting Spray While setting spray is usually the last step in our makeup routines, we are going to start our makeup with setting spray for this sandwich concealer trend! To begin, spray 1-2 spritzes of Lit Mist Illuminating Setting Spray onto your finger and gently press on and around the blemish. Wait for it to dry down before moving it to step 2. Step 2: Loose Powder After the setting spray has fully dried on the skin, we are ready for step 2! With an Airbrush Blurring Powder Brush, gently dip the brush in our 4-in-1 Loose Setting Powder Lightweight Blurring Powder in shade Translucent before tapping off excess powder from the brush. Apply a thin layer of the Loose Setting Powder onto the skin. Sweep away any excess powder so you have a smooth base before moving on to step 3. Step 3: Concealer Next, apply our 4-in-1 Sculpting Concealer with Skincare Ingredients on top of the Loose Setting Powder in a circular pattern around the blemish. Be careful not to apply the concealer directly onto the blemish as we want to be able to evenly blend out the concealer without applying too much product. Allow the concealer to dry down for 3-5 minutes before blending with the Liquid Chisel Brush. Step 4: Setting Powder Now, it is time to repeat! With the same Airbrush Blurring Powder Brush and 4-in-1 Loose Setting Powder Lightweight Setting Powder from step 2, we are going to repeat the same steps. Gently dip the brush in the translucent setting powder before tapping off excess powder from the brush. Apply a thin layer of the Loose Setting Powder onto the skin. Sweep away any excess powder for smooth, even-looking coverage. Step 5: Setting Spray Last but not least, give your skin a final spray of Lit Mist Illuminating Setting Spray to help deliver instant luminosity while setting and refreshing makeup. Allow the setting spray to fully dry before moving onto the rest of your makeup routine and voila!

Boost Your Skincare Routine With Retinol This Fall!

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Nov 06 2023
As the temperatures outside continue to drop, we will most likely be spending more time indoors to avoid the chilly temperatures. This makes Fall the perfect time to add Retinol to your skincare routine as we will be avoiding the sun and the cold weather, which can make Retinol less effective. This week in the blog, we are talking about how Retinol can help elevate your skincare routine! Why Should You Add Retinol to Your Skincare Routine? Retinol is a mega-popular skincare ingredient that is known for helping to even the look of skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Adding a Retinol serum to your skincare routine during the cooler seasons of Fall and Winter is preferred as we typically spend more time indoors to avoid the chilly weather. This makes it the perfect time to implement Retinol as spending time in the sun can make this powerhouse ingredient less effective. Which Retinol Serum Should I Use? Ceretin Boost is our Age Defying Retinol Serum that helps to visibly plump, hydrate, brighten, and firm the look of skin with a quick-absorbing formula for a healthier-looking appearance. This deeply hydrating and firming formula delivers a burst of microspheres that help keep ingredients in their purest form until released upon application.  What is Ceretin Boost Formulated With? Ceretin Boost is formulated with a 2% concentration of our Ceretin Complex, which is a blend of Retinol, Lactic Acid, Shea Butter, and a Ceramide, to help gently improve the look of skin tone and texture, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. This Age Defying Retinol Serum also includes 2% Niacinamide and Marine Biotics to help even and firm the appearance of skin. What Should I Pair with Ceretin Boost? Ceretin Boost pairs perfectly with other products in our skincare collection, such as Sea Fresh Purifying Gel Foam Cleanser to help gently wash away dirt, oil, impurities, and makeup without over-drying or stripping skin. Along with Sea Fresh, we also love pairing Ceretin Boost with Get a Lift Firming Facial Cream to help hydrate, lift, and condition skin for a more even skin tone and texture.

Four Spooky Skincare and Makeup Mistakes to Beware of

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Oct 31 2023
If you can’t get enough of all things skincare and makeup, you need to make sure you are avoiding some common beauty and skincare mistakes! Have no fear—this week in the blog, we are going through four scary mistakes to beware of, as well as recommendations on how to fix each mistake so you can have a flawless-looking appearance in no time! Mistake #1: Sleeping with Makeup On While falling asleep with our makeup on may be something we are all guilty of, it is a major makeup mistake to beware of! Sleeping in your makeup can lead to clogged pores and an uneven skin tone, which is something we want to avoid. Instead, we recommend using our Forever Clean Gentle Cleanser to help gently cleanse away dirt, oil, and impurities to help restore balance to your complexion.   Mistake #2: Not Properly Prepping the Skin The second makeup mistake to beware of is not properly prepping your skin before applying makeup. Using a moisturizer and a primer before applying your makeup can help keep your makeup on longer and help soothe the look of your skin. We recommend applying Tropical C Brightening Vitamin C & Peptide Moisturizer and our No Filter Primer Blurring Photography Primer to help hydrate and prime the skin for a natural, radiant-looking finish. Mistake #3: Applying Skincare in the Wrong Order A common skincare mistake to try to avoid is applying your skincare products in the wrong order. Applying your skincare in order of products with a thinner consistency, such as our fan-favorite Go with the Glow Niacinamide Drops, before applying any products with a thicker consistency, such as our age-defying Get A Lift Firming Facial Cream Moisturizer, can help each product better absorb into the skin to get more dramatic-looking results. Mistake #4: Not Sticking to a Skincare Routine To see results from your skincare, it is important that you consistently use a product for at least a month! If you are not sure how to create a skincare routine, start by choosing a cleanser based on your skin type. A skincare routine example for someone with oily skin would be starting with Sea Fresh Purifying Gel Foaming Cleanser to help deeply cleanse skin before applying a serum such as Ceretin Boost Age Defying Retinol Serum. As a final step, help lock in hydration with our 4-in-1 Cloud Cream Gel-to-Water Hydrating Essence Moisturizer for a simple 3-step daily skincare routine.

Our Favorite Halloween Makeup Ideas That Require No Costume!

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Oct 20 2023
Halloween is right around the corner, and if you’re not interested in dressing up in an over-the-top costume, you’ve come to the right place! This week in the blog, we are showing you three makeup looks that can replace a costume for the PÜR-fect holiday looks. Pretty in Pink The first Halloween makeup look is a Barbie-inspired look with all things pink! We have been loving all of the pink that came out with the Barbie movie, which is why this pink look is perfect for Halloween this year. To complete this pink makeup look, you will need an On Point Eyeshadow Palette in shade Thursday, Skin Perfecting Powder Blushing Act, and a Silky Pout Creamy Lip Chubby in shade Raspberry Spritz: With an eyeshadow brush, apply shade Day Date all over the eyelid, blending up to the crease. With your finger, press the shade Happy Hour onto the center of the lid to add a metallic finish. Moving onto the cheeks, apply Blushing Act in shade Pretty in Peach or Berry Beautiful to the cheeks. Because this is a Halloween makeup look, don’t hold back on the blush! We want the cheeks to be vibrant and Barbie-esque. Last but not least, apply Silky Pout onto the lips for the perfect pink pout. ‘90s Grunge Up next, we have a nostalgic 90s-inspired look! For this Halloween makeup, we want to have dark smokey eyeshadow and a dark lip liner-lipstick combo. You’ll need an On Point Eyeshadow Palette in shade Saturday, On Point Lip Liner in shade Vamp, and 4-in-1 Lip Duo Dual-Ended Matte Lipstick + Lip Oil in shade Double Date: For this look, we want a messy, smokey-looking shadow for a grungy look. With an eyeshadow brush, apply shade Nightcap all over the eyelid, focusing the color on the lid and blending up into the crease. With your finger, apply shade Dancing Queen onto the center of the lid for a pop of shimmery silver. With the On Point Lip Liner, carefully outline the lips following your natural lip shade. Fill in the center of your lips with the 4-in-1 Lip Duo and let dry before topping the lip with the included oil for a glossy look. Spooky Spiderweb Liner Photo/video credit: @rawmakeup Next, for a simple yet fun makeup look, we have a spooky spiderweb eyeliner! For this eerie liner, all you need is our luxe On Point Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pen! First, start by drawing a normal winged eyeliner with the wing extending towards your brow. Next, Draw three vertical lines under the eyes pointed diagonally downwards. Once your lines and your wing are drawn, connect the lines with a “U” shaped line in between each line. Continue drawing the same “U” shape in between each line until you get close to your waterline for a spiderweb effect!

Multitasking Moments with PÜR

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Oct 05 2023
Here at PUR, we offer many multitasking products to help you streamline your beauty routines and get the most out of our products. Having a product that can be used in different ways can help you save both time and money when getting ready, which is why this week in the blog we are sharing some of our favorite ways to multitask with some of our bestselling products! Silky Pout for Lips and Cheeks The first product that we love to multitask with is our fan-favorite Silky Pout Creamy Lip Chubby! This 2-in-1 product helps perfect your pout and can also be added to cheeks for a naturally-flushed look. Formulated with Sunflower Seed Oil and Rosemary Leaf Extract, Silky Pout helps hydrate the lips and cheeks with a pigment-rich color for a rosy-looking appearance. Available in four different indulgent shades, Silky Pout Lip Chubby is one of our favorite multitaskers! Afterglow for Cheeks, Nose, and Brow Bone Our Skin Perfecting Powder Afterglow Illuminating Highlighter is the PUR-fect champagne-tinted color to multitask with! The creamy formula goes on like a powder and melts into the skin for a natural-looking finish. Instead of only applying highlighter on the cheeks, we also love to apply it on the tip of the nose, the upper brow bone, and the inner corner of the eyes to have a luminous-looking glow on places other than just your cheekbones! Sculpting Concealer as a Highlighter and Contour While we love our 4-in-1 Sculpting Concealer to help cover the look of imperfections with medium-to-full coverage, we also love being able to use this multitasking concealer in both darker and lighter shades to help brighten and contour! Choosing a shade that is slightly lighter than your skin tone can help brighten areas on the face, such as the undereye area and the bridge of the nose, forehead, and chin. Choosing a concealer a couple of shades darker than your natural skin tone is great for contouring under the cheekbones, your nose, or your forehead to give yourself some natural-looking definition and a sun-kissed glow. No Filter as Highlighter Our No Filter Primer Blurring Photography Primer is one of our favorites as it comes in three glowy shades and helps conceal the look of imperfections and skin concerns like fine lines and wrinkles for a natural, radiant-looking finish. We love applying No Filter before applying a foundation or a tinted moisturizer to help illuminate the look of skin. To take the glowy-skin look up a notch, try using No Filter as an additional highlight once you already applied your foundation! Applying a drop of No Filter on the cheekbones can help give your skin a soft, lit-from-within look.   To shop more multitasking must-haves, and other best selling beauty and skincare, shop now at purcosmetics.com

How to Tell if Your Skin is Dry or Dehydrated

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Sep 29 2023
Have you ever wondered if you have dry skin, or if your skin is just dehydrated? It can be tricky to tell the difference, which is why this week in the blog we are breaking down how to tell the difference between dry and dehydrated skin, as well as which products to use to help hydrate and moisturize your complexion!   What is Dry Skin? Dry skin is a skin type, such as having oily skin or combination skin. People who have dry skin do not produce enough oil to help keep their skin hydrated throughout the day, which results in dry, flaky skin. Dry skin can be caused by cold and dry temperatures or different skincare products that are not formulated for dry skin.  What is Dehydrated Skin? Dehydrated skin is similar to having dry skin, but dehydrated skin is temporary and can be treated. This skin concern means that your skin isn’t retaining enough water, which results in dry and flaky skin. Dehydrated skin can be caused by indoor heating and cooling, not drinking enough water, or weather changes outside. How Can I Tell the Difference? The easiest way to determine if you have dry or dehydrated skin is by using the “pinch test”! To do this, simply pinch your cheek for a few seconds, then let go. If your skin immediately bounces back, you most likely have dry skin. If your skin takes a few seconds to bounce back and leaves fine lines behind, you most likely have dehydrated skin. Which Products Should I Use for Dry Skin? If you have dry skin, properly exfoliating your skin 2-3 times a week is very important to help remove any dead skin on your face. We recommend using Joystick Exfoliating Deep Pore Clay Cleansing Stick to exfoliate dry skin before applying a moisturizer such as our 4-in-1 Cloud Cream Gel-to-Water Hydrating Essence Moisturizer or a leave-on treatment such as the Self Soothing Nourishing Probiotic Mask to help replenish hydration to the skin. Which Products Should I Use for Dehydrated Skin? If you have dehydrated skin, it is important that you regularly moisturize your skin to help keep your skin hydrated. Exfoliating 1-2 times a week with Joystick Exfoliating Deep Pore Clay Cleansing Stick can help remove dead skin before moisturizing with Tropical C Brightening Vitamin C & Peptide Moisturizer to hydrate skin without weighing it down throughout the day.

What’s the Difference Between Foundation and Concealer?

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Sep 25 2023
Foundation and concealer are two products that both help even the look of your complexion for a more even-toned appearance. However, both of these products are used differently on your skin! This week in the blog, we are going to break down the difference between foundation and concealer, as well as how important they both are in your makeup routine! What is Foundation and What Does it Do? Foundation is a complexion product that is used as a base for the rest of your makeup. Each foundation varies in the amount of coverage, either light, medium, or full, which tells how much of your natural skin will show through. If you want a foundation to lightly cover your skin for a more even-looking skin tone, we recommend our 4-in-1 Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 for a light but buildable coverage with a dewy-looking finish. If you want to cover blemishes or dark spots with more coverage, we recommend Love Your Selfie Longwear Foundation & Concealer to help mask imperfections with a full coverage, natural-looking finish. What is Concealer and What Does it Do? Concealers tend to have smaller packaging because it is intended to be used as a spot treatment for smaller areas on the skin, such as dark under eye circles and blemishes. For a fuller coverage concealer, try our 4-in-1 Sculpting Concealer Brightening and Hydrating to help cover the look of imperfections with medium-to-full coverage and a lightweight feel. For a more brightening concealer, we recommend our Disappearing Ink 4-in-1 Concealer Pen for extra hydration and buildable coverage to help brighten the look of dark circles and blur the look of blemishes. How Can I Use Foundation and Concealer Together? To use foundation and concealer together, start with the foundation of your choosing to build a base coverage on your skin. Starting with foundation helps you cover imperfections and even the look of skin tone before adding more coverage with concealer. Once foundation is applied, we recommend applying concealer on areas where any darkness or redness may show through, such as under the eyes and on any blemishes. Pro Tip: To help elongate the wear time of foundation and concealer, we recommend using a setting powder, such as our 4-in-1 Loose Setting Powder, to help set makeup into place. How Can I Use Foundation and Concealer Separate? For a more natural look, you do not have to use both foundation and concealer together! We recommend using a concealer, such as 4-in-1 Sculpting Concealer Brightening & Hydrating, as a spot treatment for any blemishes or dark spots, for a barely-there look. Or, for a “no makeup, makeup” look, we love using our 4-in-1 Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 and a little blush and mascara for an effortless makeup look!

How to Take Your Beauty Routine from Summer to Fall

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Sep 18 2023
As Fall time quickly approaches, we start thinking about all the things we look forward to with the new season—chunky sweaters, boots, Fall layers, and new beauty routines! Switching our makeup and skincare routines from Summer to Fall is an exciting way to bring in the new season. This week in the blog, we’re going through all of our Fall transitional beauty must-haves. Give Your Skin a Boost of Moisture Cooler temperatures are known to cause dryness and flakiness on the skin. To help avoid this while we transition from Summer to Fall, try adding our Self Soothing Nourishing Probiotic Mask into your skincare routine! This hydrating mask helps replenish the skin's moisture barrier with a soothing blend of Probiotics, Cica, and a Ceramide to help soothe redness. This multitasking cream formula can be rinsed off or left on the skin as an overnight treatment, making it the perfect addition to your Fall beauty routine. Matte Skin While dewy-looking skin was all the rage this Summer, natural-to-matte foundation is perfect for Fall! Our Love Your Selfie Longwear Foundation & Concealer is an all-in-one skincare-infused foundation that helps reduce the look of imperfections as it helps enhance your natural beauty. Formulated with Green Tea, Ginseng, and Vitamin B, this medium-to-full coverage foundation helps even the look of skin with a natural, skin-like finish. Deeper Eyeshadows Another way to swap your makeup from Summer to Fall is through your eyeshadow! Using rich brown shades, such as the colors in our On Point Eyeshadow Palette in shade Friday, for a warm smokey eye. This eyeshadow palette features matte, shimmer, and metallic shades to create a neutral eyeshadow look that sparkles for all of your Fall occasions. Brown Eyeliner We have been loving the look of brown eyeliner for Fall! Our On Point Eyeliner Pencil in shade Down to Earth is the perfect eyeliner to add a touch of warmth and smokiness to your eye makeup. This self-sharpening gel eyeliner pencil helps deliver maximum color payoff with precise application with a rich brown color that pairs perfectly with our On Point Eyeshadow Palettes. The skincare-infused formula helps moisturize lashes while conditioning the skin around the lash line with a long wear time. Berry Lipstick The last makeup swap to make for Fall is lipstick! Our Silky Pout Creamy Lip Chubby in shade Sugar Plum is a soft berry that is perfect for cooler weather.
