Summer Glow Mineral Makeup Tutorial

When the weather warms up, our skin craves lightweight hydration, breathable coverage and products that won’t clog pores or melt away in the heat. That’s why a summer makeup routine should start with clean, balanced and nourished skin — and end with long-wear mineral makeup that lets your natural glow shine through.

Perfect for a festive glow up, our summer makeup tutorial will walk you through skincare-to-makeup essentials featuring our award-winning, certified organic beauty products. From your exfoliating prep to the finishing touches of bronzer, here’s how to achieve a fresh, healthy, heat-proof summer look.

SKIN PREPARATION

STEP 1: Start With Smooth, Polished Skin

Just like anything in life, the results lie in the prep work. Our Jojoba Exfoliating Scrub is an essential starting point for any glowing makeup routine as it gently but effectively breaks down and buffs away dry, flakey and dull skin - ensuring a smooth complexion for flawless makeup application.

How to Apply:

After cleansing, gently massage a small amount of product onto damp skin using circular motions. Focus on areas prone to congestion — chin, nose, forehead — then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water being careful to stay away from the delicate eye area.

Why It’s Perfect for Summer Skin:

• Removes buildup, sweat residue and sunscreen congestion

• Refines texture for smoother makeup application

• Jojoba beads gently exfoliate without irritation

• Promotes a brighter, softer, more even complexion

A smooth base means your makeup sits better, lasts longer and looks fresher throughout hot, humid days.

STEP 2: Soothe, Calm and Balance

Added hydration without the oiliness is always helpful prior to makeup application, and our Rose Hydrating Mist Toner delivers multiple benefits to hydrate, calm and refine the skin before makeup application. 

How to Apply:

Post cleansing, close your eyes and mist generously over the face and neck. You can also apply after powder application to refresh and rehydrate the skin. Keep this cooling toner in your handbag for a midday refresh.

Summer Skin Benefits:

• Refreshes dry, heat exhausted skin instantly

• Balances pH after cleansing and exfoliating

• Natural humectants help lock in moisture

• Boosts radiance with soothing botanical extracts
  

STEP 3: Lock in Lightweight Moisture

LAMAV’s Skin Balancing Fluid offers lightweight hydration to balance and protect the skin’s barrier. The inclusion of antioxidant rich bio-actives will protect the skin from environmental stress while supporting the healing of blemishes and promoting a bright, clear complexion. This everyday summer essential keeps moisture levels in check, providing just the right amount of hydration for oily summer skin.

How to Apply:

After cleansing and toning, massage 1–2 pumps onto the face and neck until fully absorbed.

Why It’s a Summer Must-Have:

• A silky, fast-absorbing moisturiser ideal for oily or combination summer skin

• Prepares skin for smooth makeup application

• Keeps skin fresh and balanced even in heat or humidity

MAKEUP APPLICATION

STEP 4: Prime for a Long-Lasting Glow

Our Bio-Active Primer creates a smooth base for makeup application with the added benefits of hydration and skin-loving ingredients.

How to Apply:

Apply 1 pump evenly across the face using clean fingertips. Let it settle before moving on to makeup application.

Summer Benefits:

• Creates a smooth, velvety base that grips makeup

• Extends wear time in hot weather

• Smoothes the skin - minimising the appearance of pores and fine lines

• Nourishes the skin with antioxidant-rich botanicals

STEP 5: Even Out Skin Tone With Lightweight Coverage

Summer makeup calls for minimal, breathable products. LAMAV’s Award Winning BB Cream is the lightweight, versatile base bestie that every complexion needs throughout summer. Infused with organic skin-loving ingredients, it delivers a healthy glow without the heaviness.

How to Apply:

Apply LAMAV's BB cream using our Vegan Foundation Brush, beginning at the centre of the face and working out towards the hairline in sweeping and buffing motions until your desired coverage is achieved.

Why It’s Perfect for Summer:

• Breathable, natural-looking coverage that lets your skin shine through

• Infused with antioxidants and hydrating actives

• Gives skin a luminous, healthy glow

• Won’t feel heavy or clog pores in heat

This is your summer skin’s best friend — skincare + makeup in one.

STEP 6: Add Buildable Mineral Coverage

For those who have excessively oily skin, you can swap out the BB Cream for our Organic Mineral Foundation Powder. If you’re a full coverage lover, you can also layer this over the BB Cream for additional coverage, staying power and oil absorption.

How to Apply:

Tap the Mineral Foundation into the lid and dip LAMAV's Vegan Kabuki Brush into the product, tapping off any excess before application. Apply in sweeping and gentle buffing motions working from the centre of the face outwards. Repeat for additional coverage.

Summer Skin Benefits:

• Sweat-resistant, breathable and non-comedogenic

• Helps control excess shine throughout the day

• Gives a smooth, airbrushed finish

• Buildable and suitable to layer for touch ups throughout the day

STEP 7: Set & Control Shine

Sometimes summer calls for additional support on hot, humid days when sweat and excess oil are at their peak. LAMAV’s Organic Mattifying Powder gives an added layer of oil absorption while blurring pores and imperfections. 

How to Apply:

Place a small amount of Mattifying Powder into the lid of the jar. Dip LAMAV's Vegan Kabuki Brush into the product and tap off excess. Gently sweep or tap the brush over any areas of the face where you would like to set makeup or provide additional oil control.

Why You’ll Love It for Summer:

• Keeps makeup fresh all day

• Controls oils without drying

• Minimises shine in humidity

• Place in your handbag for shine control and touch ups throughout the day.

STEP 8: Add a Touch of Sun-Kissed Warmth

LAMAV Sunkissed Bronzer provides a beautiful natural sun-kissed glow to your skin with additional benefits of Vitamin C and Rosehip. Perfect for contouring facial features and adding warmth to the skin. 

How to Apply:

Add a sun-kissed flush to cheeks, nose, chin and forehead for a summer glow or blend around the hairline, under the cheekbones and along the jawline for contoured definition, ensuring to start with a small amount and blend well for a natural finish.

Summer Benefits:

• Adds natural warmth without sun damage

• Clean mineral pigments for sensitive skin

• Buildable and lightweight 

• Infused with Vitamin C and Rosehip for brightening and protective benefits
