I often get asked about Organic Makeup. Ladies want to know: Does it work? Does it last? Is it really healthier for you? I did a little research, talked to some experts and want to share with you what I found out.
I’ve known about Organic Makeup for years now, but up until now I’ve had limited exposure to it. I eat organic and have browsed the aisles so I’ve seen that they carry it. I also know people that have a lot of health issues that have been moving toward organic makeup and hair color. After my last client asked me about it, I decided to do a little research and try it for myself. Given there are so many options in makeup, I’ve broken this down to a 3 part series. The first one is foundations and blushes, the second one is all about the eyes and the third one is about lips. Let me know your thoughts.
