There’s something about summer. It’s a magical time when the world seems to slow down and life feels a little bit easier; when sunny days stretch out before us, long and languid, filled with endless possibilities. It’s a season for relaxation, too, one made for bare feet, salty hair, and sunkissed skin.
This year, blk cosmetics, a homegrown beauty brand beloved by makeup enthusiasts and trusted beauty experts in and out of the country, dares to make summertime extra memorable by ushering everyone into a ‘relaxed beauty era’—taking uncomplicated beauty to the next level with brand new makeup staples made for effortless looks.
Introducing blk Fresh: Shades of Summer
Plunge into a vacation state of mind with the blk Fresh, the brand’s signature summer collection, now in its third year. Inspired by the season’s carefree charm, this year’s lineup is all about celebrating glowing, healthy beauty—designed to help anyone and everyone embrace the skin they’re in and build on what they have in the easiest way possible. Think: dewy, hydrated, and gorgeously glazed skin, plumped up and juicy lips, and a tropical, au naturel flush, all without much fuss!
Key features:
Brand new formulas and shades: The collection features five new summer products and four exclusive sets, including shimmer-infused versions of the OG favorite, the Creamy All-Over Paint.
Uncomplicated, Pure, and Kind: Thoughtfully made with good intentions, all products are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and created using only pure, ethically-sourced, and skin-loving ingredients. They’re free of harmful junk, specifically these eight yuckies: parabens, phthalates, SLS/SLEs, mineral oil, dyes, alcohol, artificial silicone, and artificial fragrances.
Beauty with a purpose: As with all other collections, 1% of sales from blk Fresh goes to 1% for the planet, a global movement that supports environmental solutions to preserve and protect the Earth.
Your dream summer begins here!
