Summer is almost here, which means it's time to stock up on skincare and beauty items that transform your routine to warm-weather ready.

Now more than ever, particularly with the beauty industry struggling during COVID-19, it's important to put your money where it matters — like supporting fabulous BIPOC-owned brands that are beloved by Sephora customers.

Sephora Canada recently announced a new commitment to dedicate 25 per cent of its products to BIPOC-owned brands by 2026, an exciting new addition to the beauty retailer’s ongoing commitment to the Fifteen Percent Pledge.

This ambitious five-year goal is driven by the insight that 22.3 per cent of Canadians identify as visible minorities (according to 2016 Census), making the demand for visible representation within brand offering more important than ever in Canada. As a result of continued brand diversification over the past year, Sephora Canada is currently sitting at 12 per cent BIPOC-owned prestige beauty brands, with a goal of reaching 15 per cent in 2022 and 25 per cent by 2026.

Whether you're looking for a new cleanser to get all of the gunk out of your face or a highlighter that'll have you sparkling in the sun, we've rounded up some of our favourite products for your summer beauty needs.

ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr

We love the messaging from the fabulous social media influencer - that one size fits all. Every product in his line will work for any skin type. Period. Customers particularly love the Secure the Blur Hydrating Under Eye Patches, which they say leaves the delicate skin feeling moisturized and ready for concealer.
