For a modern woman, an integral part of her grooming kit is her makeup essentials. A primer, foundation, lipstick, kajal, mascara eyeliner, blusher, and so on. But do you know what goes into making your favorite makeup products?
Loads of harsh chemicals, to say the lease. Using such products regularly prematurely ages the skin and causes many skin issues. But don’t worry! It’s time to throw these toxic products away and try these natural makeup products in the Indian markets.
Foundation
Foundation is a liquid or powder makeup applied to the face that creates an even, uniform color to the complexion and enhances the natural skin tone. So, the brands come up with numerous shades to fit your complexion. But what’s disappointing is that most of the brands do not completely enlist the ingredients.
Hence, you can check out Ruby’s Organics Foundation, which to comes in various shades as safe and of natural origin. Even Herb Foundation bb cream is available for your particular skin type, and its price is on par with other popular cosmetic brands.
Primer
Any makeup generally starts with a primer. And rightly so, a primer smoothens the pores of the skin and creates an even layer on top of it for a foundation to glide onto. So a good primer creates a solid base for makeup. Most commercial primers are loaded with many harsh chemicals, which might provide a solid base for a while, but ultimately damage the skin.
If you have normally dry skin, you can use any oil such as olive oil, argan oil, and sesame oil, widely recognized as makeup primers. In combination with oily skin, aloe vera gel or aloe vera based moisturizer can be used as a primer.
Mascara
A few swipes of a mascara wand are generally used to give an instant awakened look naturally, even on those worst mornings. But wait a minute? Did I say naturally? Well, the harsh truth is that commercial mascara is nowhere close to natural. They have synthetic waxes and many harsh polymers. Doctors reveal that wearing such mascara can cause serious inflammations, infections, and even loss of eyelashes.
You can try Soultree’s pure black ayurvedic mascara prepared from glycerin, castor oil, beeswax, aloe vera juice, and other 99.75 per cent natural ingredients. This mascara will cost you Rs.625. If you prefer a transparent mascara, then a simple hack uses aloe vera gel with a brush. You will be surprised to see how well it works.
Blushers
Cheek tints give that final edge to a well-finished look offering a lustrous, healthy glow to the cheeks. But with ingredients like dimethicone, parabens, and synthetic colours, healthy is out of the question.
Cheek and lip tints by Daughter Earth and Bloombaths are safe, essential, and natural oil-based formulations that work as well without any sideffects. Daughter Earth makeup costs Rs.745, whereas Bloombath makeups are much cheaper at just Rs.200
