Introducing the Queen of Vegan Make-Up: Unleashia 

If you’re looking to upgrade your makeup bag, you’re exactly where you need to be. After a while, we always begin to wonder whether we could do better than the eyeshadow palette we’ve been worshipping for the last few years (hint: you can!). Make room for Unleashia, a cruelty-free, vegan, and long-lasting makeup brand which specialises in biodegradable glitter. 

‘Unleashia’ is a combo of the words ‘unleash’ and ‘utopia’ to encourage us to release our truest selves and create our ideal world, no matter what it looks like to anyone else. It breaks free from society’s definition of beauty and aims to guide you on a journey to a place where you feel the most beautiful just by being yourself. With a unique range of makeup products including eyeshadows, lip tints, and glitter gel for every personality, consider it expressed. Newly stocked at Skin Cupid, here are some of our favourites from Unleashia. 

Glitterpedia Eyeshadow (4 Colours) - £26.00

Each eyeshadow palette contains 9 shades to create an array of looks that’ll pop on every skin tone. With the choice of glittery, shimmery, and pure matte eyeshadows, just one palette can take you all the way from day to night. If you like to pile on the glitter, Unleashia Glitterpedia Eyeshadow won’t transfer or lose its shine throughout the day – two things glitter-obsessed makeup lovers live for. 

Get Loose Glitter Gel (7 colours) - £11.95

 Get Loose Glitter Gel can be used anywhere you want to add a little (or a lot of) sparkle on your face or body, and brags a highly adhesive formula that won’t cover every single thing you own in glitter. Completely biodegradable, water-resistant, and sweatproof, your makeup bag is practically begging for all 7 shades featuring Sunset Lover, which perfectly captures a golden skyline, and Happy Baker, a luscious lilac.

UNLEASHIA Pretty Easy Glitter Stick (4 colours) - £11.95

For glitter newbies, Unleashia Pretty Easy Glitter Stick is a good place to start. These fool-proof glitter eyeshadow sticks come in 4 highly pigmented colours, Thrilled, Flutter, Brave, and Confident, that effortlessly glide across the skin. Unlike the Glitter Sticks you’re used to, they’re crease-free and waterproof. The small tip allows you to get up-close-and-personal around your eye area without going OTT (unless being extra is part of your personality), making it ideal for those subtler glitter looks as it gives you more control. They’re also extremely buildable if you ever feel like turning it up a notch. 

UNLEASHIA Non-Sticky Dazzle Tint 5.5g (5 colours) - £14.00

The longest-lasting lip tint we stock with a stunning shimmer available in 5 colours including Glow Day, the ultimate mauve pink, and Nice Step, a soft coral. The formula contains fine pearl glitters that recreate a lip gloss look without any of the usual stickiness whilst plumping up your pout. Rosehip, olive, avocado, and jojoba seed oils keep your lips full of moisture until your next top-up. 

UNLEASHIA Shaper Defining Eyebrow Pencil (3 colours) - £14.00

Because every glitter makeup look still needs to have eyebrows on point, right? Unleashia Shaper Defining Eyebrow Pencil is double-sided, featuring a spoolie and ultra-slim eyebrow pencil with a 1mm tip for the most natural-looking eyebrow hairs out there. As the tip is so thin, it can be used to thicken and define eyebrows of all sizes. To nourish the skin underneath your eyebrows and avoid browdruff, it’s loaded with tea tree oil, German chamomile extract, rose water, and hyaluronic acid which can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water.

UNLEASHIA Shaper Pomade Eyebrow Fixer - £14.00

If your eyebrow hairs are even wilder than you are, tame them (but never your personality) with UNLEASHIA Shaper Pomade Eyebrow Fixer. With 2 brushes to get your brows in place and the long-lasting formula with a hint of colour, your brows will appear fuller and won’t budge, whilst remaining soft to the touch with no stiffness whatsoever. Infused with rice and soybean seed extracts, and glycerin, your eyebrow hairs will permanently live in a happy place of hydration.
