Makeup tips that are good for you and the environment
Build a make-up bag full of products that will boost your complexion and natural goodness.
Editor's eco-tip:
Use your product until the last drop. Squeeze every ounce out of your products, and don't purchase new ones until they're completely empty. This will extend the life of your beauty products and cut down on what you throw away.
Repurpose and reuse
Use reusable products like false lashes and reusable makeup remover pads for a sustainable and zero-waste routine.
Choose eco-friendly formulas
Get your glow on by checking product labels for organic and natural ingredients in makeup, like aloe vera extract, green tea leaf and vitamin C.
Make kind and ethical picks
Choose vegan and cruelty-free makeup formulas, from lip glosses to powders, which are kind to people, animals and the planet like natural extracts from flowers, herbs, vegetables, fruits and essentialoils.
Brush up your act
When looking for makeup and beauty tools, try to source brushes tha thave been crafted from sustainable and eco-friendly materials, such as bamboo fibres, tree-free paper and cotton.
Demand double-duty
Use multi-purpose products that reduce waste like cheek tint, that can be used as blush and lipstick, as well as lipstick that can be used as eyeshadow, or concealer that can be used as foundation.
Keep it minimal
Simplify your current makeup routine: Ask yourself what are your absolute staples. The products you can't live without. The ones that enhance your eliminate excessive packaging where you can.
