Shop Makeup and Skincare Headbands

A good makeup headband does one job: it keeps your hair off your face. Whether you are cleansing, putting on a mask, doing a full face of makeup or just washing up before bed, a skincare headband stops damp strands and product going where they should not. Adore Beauty is an official stockist of the brands below, and this page sits within our wider hair accessories range.

Beauty Headbands for Cleansing, Masking and Makeup

The Manicare superSOFT Cosmetic Headband is the simple option for a bathroom shelf. Want something with a bit more shape? The Kitsch Recycled Fabric Puffy Headband is a single black headband made from recycled fabric. We also stock our own, with the Adore Beauty Makeup Headband in blue. If you like a bundle, the Makeup Headband and Cleansing Wristband Kit adds a cleansing wristband and is a limited edition.

How to Choose a Headband for Washing Your Face

Think about when you will actually wear it. A face wash headband will get splashed, so pick one that is easy to rinse and dry. If you mostly want a headband for washing face and basic skincare, softness matters most, because it sits on your forehead for a while. For makeup, a band that sits flat against the hairline is less likely to smudge your base as you pull it on and off. A wider band holds more hair back, and a slimmer one is easier to forget you are wearing. Shopping for a gift? A headband is an easy add-on to a set of beauty and skincare tools.

Where a Headband Fits in Your Routine

Put it on before you do anything else, so your hair is already out of the way when you reach for your cleanser. That goes for a quick morning wash and for a longer evening routine with a mask. The same make up headband that kept your hair back during cleansing works just as well when you move on to base, brows and eyes. Once you are finished, swap to one of our hair scrunchies or a hair clip if you want your hair up for the rest of the night. Keep a spare so one is always clean.
