June 18th, 2020
Because of the current restrictions due to Covid-19 in person Pride celebrations across the globe are cancelled this year, so it’s even more important to show support for the LGBTQ+ community.
Pride Inside will take place the week of Sunday 28th June – Sunday 5th July, with Global Pride landing on the 27th June in a digital format.
Here, we round up our favourite charitable beauty products celebrating Pride and supporting the LGBTQ+ community in 2020. In true Pride style, rainbow is the colour scheme; we aren’t known for backing away from vivid brights! Definitely more is more when it comes to eyeshadow. Show the love and support these worthy charities while getting some fantastic products.
