If the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach than certainly the quickest way to mine is through make-up! I've always been fascinated with the powders and potions, especially what magic can be preformed by the right magician. However, ever since I decided to stop being enamored with all the pretty packaging and actually read what chemical concoctions I was putting onto my skin, pretty is not a word I continued to use.
So I began to make a check-list for my make-up:
1. It must be good for the planet - no harmful processing or waste.
2. It must be good for my skin - no more 18 syllable word ingredients.
3. And of course, it must make me feel fabulous!
Well ladies, the pickens were slim...and then I found Futurenatural. Normally, I'm skeptical of organic make-up, having been disappointed by so much of it. So, when I received a little sample pack of products in the mail I took my sweet time trying them out. Mistake!
Suki concealer is magic in a bottle! I dabbed a tiny bit under my eyes one eaaarly morning and suddenly looked as though I hadn't said yes to that third glass of wine the night before. Realizing I had my hands on the products I've been searching for my entire green life, I quickly tried out the tinted moisturizer and eye shadow. Fantastic! Pretty, easy to use and best of all - totally organic. I am now a convert.
FutureNatural has a carefully curated selection of make-up to experiment with. It's not overwhelming and you can feel good about the stand your making to use healthy products. I believe they call it "responsible hedonism". I call it good green fun.
Oooooooh, nice post! I love natural make-up!

Do you know if Sephora carries this type of make-up? I've tried mineral foundation but recently learned that it' not so good for you. Thanks!

WOW!! Thanks so much for this post!! I am also obsessed with makeup and have been on a mission to find organic stuff that actually does the job!! I have tried Physician's Formula -Organic-- not bad.. the packaging on the powder is sooo hard to use though..

This is quite an interesting review on organic make-up items. Indeed more and more of us need to go green.

Organic cosmetics are becoming more and more popular due to their outstanding advantages, but we need to watch out for the fakes. A lot of manufacturers are claiming to be organic when in fact they are not
