I converted to using all-natural face washes and moisturizers a few years ago. But when it comes to makeup, the switch hasn’t been so easy. It’s extremely hard to find eco-friendly eyeshadow, liner, powder and blush that live up to the high standards of lines like MAC Cosmetics and NARS.
Tarte is the first brand to make me switch out some of my tried and tested favourites for more natural options. Tarte makeup is free of paraben, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate and gluten. The brand is also cruelty-free.
Some of my new go-to products? The Park Ave Princess contour palette ($41), the cheek stain ($36) and the smooth operator Amazonian clay finishing powder ($17-$38, all at Sephora, 131 Bloor West, 416-513-1100, and others, sephora.com). Try them out for yourself – they wear well and last long.
