New Clean Beauty Makeup Favorites

May 26, 2021

Clean beauty makeupI picked up some new clean beauty products last month.  After using them for all of April and May, I can confidently say I’ve found some new clean beauty makeup favorites.
Brow gel

I’ve tried Glossier and Anastasia Beauty (my fave before discovering this one), but this brow gel gives the effect of an eyebrow pencil while holding your brows in place.  I love that it comes in so many color options.

I wear Medium Chocolate Brown.

Eye Shadow Palette

I’ve been on the hunt for a clean beauty eyeshadow palette that can replace my beloved Charlotte Tilbury one.  This one is gorgeous and such a good deal ($25).  The quality is nourishing and highly pigmented.  I’ve tried other more expensive clean beauty eyeshadow that is dry and dull.  NOT this one.

Blush

I honestly believe the best blush ever made is Nars Orgasm.  This one is its clean beauty counterpart.  I adore the not-to-sweet pink hue.  It’s a radiant finish so it doesn’t look like you’ve covered your face in glitter, but it does reflect light beautifully.

Lipstick

Okay, I’ve actually been wearing this lipstick for years.  It’s the perfect everyday, neutral pink.  I recently bought this color and it’s so fun for summer.

The nourishing formula stays put and I love it.

I thought this was a great opportunity to share my tried and true beauty products.

Sale ends November 9.

Skincare (almost all green beauty)

Exfoliator – this is both a physical exfoliator and an enzyme exfoliator (hint, you need both and this one is amazing).
Toner – a green beauty option to P50 lotion, this stuff gently exfoliates (can be used everyday) for the clearest, brightest skin.
Moisturizer – if you are prone to breakouts whatsoever, seriously consider swapping out your cream moisturizer for an oil.  This one makes my skin feel like velvet – so supple and luxurious.
Acne eliminating pads – I wrote about these here (forewarning, they BURN).  But man, do they eliminate and reduce blemishes.
Mud mask – instantly clears pores, tightens and brightens.  I use it before a photoshoot or event.

Makeup

Primer – I rarely use primer, but when I do, this is the only one I’ll use.  Gives you a velvety base that makeup melts flawlessly into.
Foundation – I hate dewey finish foundations.  I don’t want to worry about touching my face and having makeup rub off.  This feels like a moisturizer and provides max coverage.
Lipstick – I learned about these from my beauty blogger guru who deemed them her fave lipsticks ever.  That’s a high bar.
Cream eye shadow – I wrote about how I do my smokey eye and this is Step 1.
Eye shadow quad – these colors are the best I’ve ever used for everyday and for a smokey eye.
Eyebrow pencil – the most natural way to enhance your brows with a super easy to use application.
Eyebrow gel – I use this over the top of my brow pencil for the perfect finished look.

Tools, Hair & Nails

Foundation brush – I wrote a review of this brush here.  Get one!
Makeup sponge – for small areas (concealer) this is top of the line.
Facial cleansing device – this removes dirt and grime 1000 times better than just washing your face with your hands.
Facial Steamer – I was skeptical about this at first, but I use it twice per week to open up my pores and remove impurities.  It also allows your products to deeply absorb into the skin.
Dry shampoo – I got this as a sample and WOW.  This is THE dry shampoo to use for truly dirty hair.  It provides just the right about of volume too.
Nail art – I wrote a review on these here.  Super cute and an easy way to take your mani up a notch.
Turmeric powder – if you are prone to inflammation (which makes breakouts worse) this powder is a must.  Mix it with water or milk for a yummy latte that is packed with vitamins.
Silk pillow case – these have been on my holiday gift guides for the past 4 years.  A must for wrinkle reduction.
Tweezers – if you are living without these tweezers, I don’t know how you are living.
