Natural makeup - some of my favorites

Finding natural, organic makeup is much easier today than it was a decade ago. So many companies are making cruelty free, phthalates free, vegan, gluten free, chemical free options.

With all the companies on the market, it's difficult to choose just one. I personally love a variety of products and choose according to my skin care needs and the ingredient list.

I also look for companies who recycle their packaging and encourage their clients to do the same. You can often send in empty containers for a free product, coupon or other incentive.

I love reusing many of my containers for other upcycling usages. (Stay tuned for a blog on reducing beauty product waste)!

Here are some of my favorite makeup artistry companies:

1) Bella Mari Foundations are made with No Paraben or Fragrance

• With Calendula to soothe the skin

• Not tested on animals, completely vegetarian

• PURE NATURAL OR USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC SKIN CARE/WELLNESS PRODUCTS PRECISELY & PROUDLY MADE IN USA. Available on www.naturesbrands.com

2) Well People (Clean Beauty Commitment Story | Well People) has a SUPER CLEAN, ECO conscious commitment, giving back to the earth wherever they can! I love their products and especially love that they stay far away from synthetic fillers, sulfates, preservatives, and fragrances.

In fact, there’s a list of over 1,700 ingredients that
