Natural Woman: Natural and Organic Makeup – See How It Looks

Posted on August 22, 2014 by kathysoap

Reasons that top the list for using natural and organic makeup are that they are better for your skin as well as being better for the environment. Nontoxic skin care products are a healthier choice for your skin and allow you to look and feel your best.

Using top-quality makeup is key to achieving a great look. Here, Lisa is modeling some of our products so that you can get an idea of what the cosmetics will look like on.

She starts by cleansing and moisturizing her face with Exactly Organics face cleanser and moisturizer. She then gives her skin a bit of a boost by applying Miessence Organic Balancing Skin Conditioner.

For foundation, Lisa begins with applying Miessence Honey Translucent Foundation (liquid) which offers sheer coverage. For concealer around the eyes she uses Ecco Bella FlowerColor Cover Up in Beige. Next, she applies Ecco Bella FlowerColor Face Powder in the color Fair which offers a medium coverage and smoothes the look. To contour, she uses a little darker shade of Face Powder in Light. You can also use a bronzer to contour.

For the colors Lisa is wearing:

Eyeliner:

Eyes:
Ecco Bella FlowerColor Eye Shadow in Deep Taupe in the crease and blended

+Ecco Bella FlowerColor Shimmer Dust in Star to highlight

Eyebrows:
Ecco Bella FlowerColor Powder Eyeliner in brown to fill in the brows

Blush:
Ecco Bella Burgundy Rose

Lips:
Ecco Bella FlowerColor Lipstick in Peach Frost

Mascara:
Finished off with Ecco Bella Botanicals Flower Color Natural Mascara in black

Lisa commented that she likes the Ecco Bella blush, eye shadows, and powder liners better than other mineral/natural makeups. The color pigments are richer and take less to put on. They also hold their color throughout the day.

Miessence Bronzing Dust

For contouring – Miessence bronzer is great for contouring too. Emphasize cheekbones by brushing a little beneath checks. Contour nose to look more slender by brushing bronzer lightly onto sides of nose. Brush a line of bronzer just under the jawbone to accentuate the jaw line.

Mascara

Mascara Application Tip: Apply a light coat and comb lashes with a mascara comb and let dry. Repeat as necessary applying only to the ends of lashes until desired result.
