As summer arrives, I put the new essence makeup line and sun care range from Spanish brand Equivalenza to the test for that perfect glow.

With warmer days here, effective sun protection is key. I tried two Equivalenza sunscreens—one with cucumber and one with watermelon. Their fresh, fruity scents refresh the typical sun care routine. The lightweight, non-sticky, transparent textures make them perfect for tan maintenance.
Equivalenza also offers a natural and organic range of clean products that I truly enjoyed.
Big crush on essence!
Concealer, blush, highlighter, and lip tints: essence outperforms competitors on quality-to-price ratio. The concealer delivers full coverage with a luminous professional finish. The Eye and Face palette features versatile nude shadows—ideal for eyelids, cheekbones, or cupid's bow as an illuminator.
I adore essence nail polishes at just 2.50 euros each—impressive shine and lasting wear.
