I’ve been a makeup junkie since I can remember. My first business was actually a private label makeup line back in my early 20s. Since I started making my own skincare products many years ago and becoming aware of toxic ingredients in a lot of skincare and makeup, I decided to explore cleaner options for makeup. Vapour Beauty definitely stood out to me as a leader in the clean makeup space some time ago and I do still wear some of their products, but one brand that really stands out to me is Honest Beauty. I kind of have an obsession with Honest Beauty lately. Luckily they are having a Labor Day sale going on now so I bought more products that I’m really excited to try. As I tell my husband when a good sale is going on, “Now is the time to buy!” So if you want to try out any of the brands I am going to mention, be aware that most of them are having a Labor Day sale, so now is the time to try them out and buy a few things. I’ll add any discount codes I find at the end of this post.
I’m going to go over my favorite clean makeup products and show you what I put on for a five minute makeup no makeup look. Here we go…
Favorite Face Products
- Honest Beauty CCC Clean Corrective with Vitamin C Tinted Moisturizer in Light – Super light tinted moisturizer with SPF.
- Honest Beauty Magic Beauty Balm Stick – It is magic. It highlights in a dewy kind of way.
- Vapour Beauty Bronzing Stick in Simmer – Super fast and easy application for a bronzer.
- Honest Beauty Everything Primer in Glow – Best primer. I wear this alone sometimes and it makes my skin look amazing.
- Honest Beauty Creme Cheek Color in Rose Pink – Great pink flushed color.
- Ilia Beauty Multi-Stick in At Last – Another great cheek color, but in a stick.
- Ilia Beauty Illuminator in Cosmic Dancer – Beautiful illuminator for eyes, cheekbones, and wherever else you want to put it.
