The Clean Cosmetics I’ve been using
Spring is back! I’ve been doing some spring cleaning on my end, swapping out expired makeup and swapping in products from clean and conscious beauty brands! Lately I’ve been really into that natural, “no makeup” makeup look. The kind of look that enhances your complexion, not covers it up. The kind of look where where your husband is like, “babe, I love how you look without makeup on” and smile all big in response.
Keep reading for my picks on which clean beauty makeup products I’m using for a natural, glowy look!
Makeup for a Natural, Glowy Look!
UV PROTECTION // AK Therapy – Elemental Sun Balm I know this is technically a skincare product, but UV protection is so important so it gets a cameo in today’s post! Before foundation, I apply this SPF 30 sun balm, which is formulated with zinc oxide, meadowfoam, and grapeseed oil. This combination of ingredients nourish my skin, helps balance the appearance of redness, and blocks out the sun’s harmful rays. It also has a natural tint which evens out my skin tone. A little goes a long way! $48.
FOUNDATION // I’m totally obsessed with my Ere Perez Oat Milk Foundation in Chai. The product is smooth, easily blendable, and provides a natural finish. It’s not watery like some other clean beauty foundations I’ve tried. Totally buildable coverage. I would say its light to medium even though the brand says its for medium to full coverage. Non-greasy. It doesn’t look like I’m wearing foundation when I apply it, which I love! Available in 6 shades. $40.
CONCEALER // W3ll People – Bio Correct is perfect for my under eye circles and dark spots! Blends well, provides great coverage, but also feels ultra-light! An everyday makeup essential. $22.99.
LIPS // HENNÉ Organics – Luxury Lip Tint – Bare. So smooth and creamy and perfect for that barely-there hint of color. Check out my full review here! $21.
LIP LINER // RMS Beauty – Lip Liner (Daytime Nude) is perfect for a natural daytime look! Pairs well with any color. Lovely pigment, creamy, and easy application. Also comes with a built-in sharpener! $20.
MASCARA // Ilia Beauty – Limitless Lash Mascara. Creamy formula. Nice brush to lift and curl. I love that’s buildable, isn’t cakey, and gives noticeable volume and length to my lashes! I would say its pretty comparable to the W3LL People mascara (which is another fav of mine). $28.
HIGHLIGHTER // VENICS Organic – Diamond Glow Melted Highlighter (K Color) gives me that instant glow. It’s creamy, buildable, and lasts all day! I love the light shimmery effect it also adds to my complexion! Made with organic, sustainable, and clean ingredients, AND they’re packaged with reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable materials! $35.
BROWS // Plume Science – Nourish & Define Refillable Brow Pencil. A little goes a long way! Great for filling in sparse brows. Looks natural and glides on smoothly. Available in six shades. 100% natural, plant-based, vegan, cruelty-free. $24.
Most of these products were purchased at my local clean beauty shop in San Diego! Two of these were gifted (highlighter and lip tint).
This is a great, simply collection! I love the Ilia mascara. So glad I stumbled onto your blog
