It is such an exciting time for natural makeup! The market has responded really well to demand for transparency in ingredients and manufacturing processes.
What I've learned so far:
-
Mascara is tricky to produce without all of the chemicals. There are only a few quality brands out there. So far, my favorite is Zuzu, but I'll keep trying others. Don't expect to find a waterproof natural mascara
-
Buy from a local manufacturer if possible
-
Be cautious of the major brands advertising natural
-
Make sure you know every ingredient - plant based is best!
-
Au Natural is my current choice for foundation, eyes and blush. The brand has a great story and is made farm-to-face in Green Bay, Wisconsin (within 200 miles of my home in Chicago)
-
Don't be afraid to email and ask for samples until you find a match - the worst they can say is no, or many smaller brands will offer a sample size under $10
