5 Essential Eco-Friendly Beauty Products
Makeup artist Kristen Arnett shows DailyCandy her five favorite eco-friendly beauty product essentials. Not only are they effective, they're free of harsh (to you and the earth) chemicals. Arnett knows her stuff: She's been powdering famous faces - from Jude Law to basically every model you can think of - for years, using the most natural items on the market.
RMS 'Un'
Cover Up is an all-natural, almost totally organic, product from RMS Beauty that has just the right amount of yellow to cut redness in the skin. The nice thing about this brand is that it's raw, which means the ingredients haven't been heat processed, so you're still getting all the nutrient benefits of the ingredients. It's like a skin treatment and a makeup in one. Some of the ingredients include coconut oil, bee's wax, and Vitamin E, and there are no synthetic preservatives. Available at rmsbeauty.com, $36.
To combat under eye dark circles, you can use the Active Light Concealer from
Jane Iredale. It has a little bit of a peachy pink to it that cancels out blue tones. Most people think you use yellow to cancel out the blue, but actually it's a pink color. The product is all non-toxic and mineral based and also has some great skin beneficial ingredients in it. Available at shop.janeiredale.com, $27.
What loo
k is complete without eyeliner? The simple, deep brown Physician's Formula Organic Wear Eyeliner is just as good as any other brand that you would pay twice the price for. Available at physiciansformula.com, $7.95.
