REAWAKENING (Part 1/2) 🔥 | From indie experiment to a brand reborn

🎥 Video pulled from the archives ~ 3years ago whilst introducing our ReAWAKENING collection 🎉

Over the last few days I’ve shared three chapters of Summit Gate SUMMIT.g Edinburgh:
💄 Pre-Covid – a self-funded indie launch with an unusually wide range to win over makeup-shy women.
😷 During Covid – fighting with the storm when no one needed makeup, only masks.
🔥 Post-Covid – rising from the ashes and seeing our tiny Edinburgh brand appear in The Sun Digital and British Vogue.

Today, I’m re-introducing ReAWAKENING – the chapter that marks our rebirth and quietly sets the stage for the next 10 years. ✨

Why “ReAWAKENING”?

After Covid, we knew we couldn’t go back to “business as usual”.
What saved us was simple: no brick & mortar – just a community, a laptop and a very stubborn vision.

So we chose to rebuild, not retreat:
✨ rebranded as SUMMIT.g Edinburgh
✨ launched the ReAWAKENING Collection – our way of saying “we’ve been through the fire, but we’re still here”

Along the way, we were featured by:
📰 The Sun Online (Fabulous / Checklist) – our £25 Starter Pack named among their wellbeing brands for 2021
📖 British Vogue – print & digital (Spring 2021) – three of our best-sellers spotlighted over three consecutive months

For a founder-led private label from Edinburgh, that was more than press – it was a quiet validation: you’re still in the game.

What ReAWAKENING looks like now 🎨

In short:
• FACE: our Game Changer melanin-match foundations, powders and concealers for women who rarely see themselves centred in shade charts.
• LIPS: pigment-rich mattes, nudes, metallics and glosses that also care for lip health. 💋
• EYES: liners, brows, palettes and mascara that move from everyday definition to full creative glam. 👁️

If it’s face, lips or eyes – we have you covered.
