I’ve been researching clean beauty brands for well over 5 years now (probably closer to 10) so I’ve come across quite a few favorites… and still more that I want to try! In light of Beautycounter taking a long pause, I thought it’d be helpful to share some of my clean makeup favorites in it’s own post. If you haven’t already checked it out, browse my directory for more of my favorite clean beauty brands here!
I tend to go heavy on the skincare and light on the makeup for daily wear but I’ll list all of my favorites here. For every day, on top of my skincare routine, I use a sunscreen or tinted moisturizer with SPF or I add these tinted bronzer drops to my moisturizer, this tinted lash serum if I’m leaving the house, and always a lip color whether it be a lipstick or a tinted lip balm. My grandmom always told me to put a little color on your lips so I rarely leave the house without it!
I really like a natural look so even if I’m doing a full face of makeup, it’s probably not what you’d think. I have a foundation and concealer but rarely use them but I will add a cream blush, bronzer, brow gel, mascara, and eyeshadow (always look for talc-free!)… sometimes, I’ll add eyeliner.
My Must Have Makeup Products
I love a good eyebrow gel and I never feel like my makeup is complete without it. I think this is a game changer in how “put together” I look (or maybe feel… either way, I love it!). I don’t use it daily but I do use it whenever I’m actually doing my makeup.
The Jones Road Miracle Balm has been high on my list of products to try for a while now. My favorite shade is Golden Hour and it just looks like it makes your skin so glowy and dewy!
Lip Oil
Lip products are one of the few makeup products I actually use daily, and multiple times per day at that. I like something that is going to hydrate my lips and I also like a little bit of color. This lip oil offers a pretty sheer color and a lot of moisture! I want to try the pink shade- it looks so fun for summer!
I’ve been using this for a few weeks now and I love how it wakes up my eyes and darkens my eyelashes while nourishing them at the same time! It’s not irritating, it’s buildable, and it comes off easily.
Some days I use my tinted moisturizer with SPF but honestly, most days I just add this to my moisturizer or to my SPF! It gives a nice bronzed look without looking like I used a self-tanner.
