Oh how I love my makeup!

As a kid my mom and I would always go shopping for makeup. She has beautiful skin and has always had a really strong self-care routine around what she puts on her face, so naturally that was one thing we did as a kid together, and since then I’ve really loved makeup and loved to find new great brands to try.

I have always loved super pigmented makeup that’s rich and creamy, so when I started to switch over to natural makeup I was totally at a loss for brands I love (when I first tried to switch over to nontoxic). Over time, nontoxic makeup has gotten SO MUCH BETTER, and there are plenty of brands I love (see below).

I have so many women who I work with that I try to convince to think about switching over their makeup routine to more holistic, more natural products, because truly the ingredients in makeups are really bad for us (in most cases) – some ingredients worse than others, and can be endocrine and hormone disruptors; which for many of my clients trying to balance their hormones, can make the process even more difficult.

To help you start to think about ingredients to identify in your makeup that may be bad for your skin and your body, I’ve outlined a few here for you! And to help support the process of switching over to more natural makeup, suggested a few brands at the bottom that I love.
