The Ultimate Lipstick Guide for Skin Tones

Different lipstick colors for different skin tones.

Published January 06, 2023

It’s common practice to wear clothes with colors that complement each other.

For instance, if you’re wearing black pants, an orange top would be an excellent match since black and orange are known to complement each other. The same concept applies to lipstick.

Lipstick comes in various shades, and each shade is complementary to specific skin tones. So, as eager as you are to advertise a specific lipstick product, it may not be suitable for your customer’s skin tone. But how do you know if lipstick complements an individual’s skin tone?

To start with, you need to understand the concept of skin tones.

Understanding Skin Tones

Skin tones refer to your surface skin color. It determines how dark or light you look, and if we get more scientific, it’s what determines the amount of melanin in your skin’s uppermost layer.

There are four types of skin tones, namely: (1) light/fair, (2) medium, (3) olive/tan, and (4) dark/deep. You can pretty much guess how each type of skin tone differs from their names alone. Since it’s mostly about color, it’s relatively easy to identify a person’s skin tone.

How To Identify Skin Tone

Here’s the most advisable method to identify one’s skin tones:

Wash the face, particularly the jawlines.
Go to an area where there is natural sunlight.
Examine the person’s jawline and see if it’s light, fair, medium, or dark in color.

The skin doesn’t have a single color all throughout.

Some parts will be lighter or darker than others. As such, it can be difficult to determine a person’s true skin tone as you may examine an area that’s affected by these skin color changes.

Your jawline is the best place to examine to determine one’s skin tone, mostly because it’s not as affected by these skin color changes. Hence, its color will be a more accurate representation of one’s true skin tone. Apart from the skin tone, you also need to identify the person’s undertones.

Understanding Skin Undertones

The term “undertones” refer to the natural color or pigment underneath the skin’s surface, hence the name. There are generally three types of skin undertones: warm, cold, and neutral.

Since it’s not exactly the most noticeable or visible feature of one’s skin, not everyone can identify their undertone with just a single glance at a mirror. But of course, it’s still possible.

How To Identify Skin Undertones

A woman checks whether the shades of lipstick match her skin tone.

To help identify one’s skin undertones, experts have come up with a set of rules that will allow you to determine which of the three undertones you have. Let’s take a look at these rules.

A person’s undertone is cool if their veins are bluish. Those with cool undertones are also susceptible to burning while under the sun and may find it particularly difficult to tan.

Most cool undertone individuals have a bluish, reddish, or pinkish hue to their skin. Fair-skinned individuals typically have cool undertones, but it’s not exclusive to them.

A person’s undertone is warm if their veins are greenish. Those with warm undertones can withstand high temperatures without burning, and they would find it easy to tan.

Most warm undertone individuals have an olive, yellowish, or golden hue to their skin. Dark-skinned individuals typically have warm undertones, but it’s not reserved for them.

A person’s undertone is neutral if their veins are neither completely bluish nor greenish but a combination of the two. Neutral undertone individuals also feature hues that are the combination of two colors from both groups, like a mix of pink and yellow, for instance.

Those with neutral undertones aren’t particularly susceptible or resistant to burning.

Using these pieces of information, you should be able to easily identify your customer’s skin undertones through various tests. For example, they can sit under the sun for a few minutes.

If their skin burns easily, they have cool undertones. If their skin is burning decently, they likely have neutral undertones. And if their skin doesn’t react at all, they have warm undertones.

At this point, you now have all the information you need to determine the lipstick shade that perfectly matches your customer’s skin tones. All that’s left is to use that information.

Lipstick Shade to Skin Tones: Which Matches Which?

Though nothing is stopping your customers from choosing any lipstick shade, there’s no denying that certain shades are an objectively better match to their specific skin tones. In that regard, here’s a list of lipstick shades that should be a perfect match for each type of skin tone:

Light or Fair

Coral, peach, beige, pink, and nude lipstick shades are generally great matches for light or fair skin. However, pale pink or peachy nude are particularly great matches for those with warm undertones. Meanwhile, nude and soft mocha shades are great for cool undertones.

Medium

Shades of mauve, berry and rose are all great for medium-skinned individuals.

Copper and bronze shades are great specifically for those with warm undertones, while shades of cranberry and pink are more suitable for those with cool undertones.

Olive or Tan

Any lipstick shade with an orange undertone should be an excellent match for olive-skinned or tan individuals. On the flip side, lipsticks with a shade of purple or brown will be a terrible match.

That goes for both those with warm and cool undertones.

Dark or Deep

Purples and browns are the most recommended for those with dark or deep skin. Shades like plum, caramel, wine, and walnut seem to be the best fit. Ruby and wine with a shade of red are particularly great for cool undertones, while copper and bronze are suitable for warm undertones.

If the customer has neutral undertones, any shade should match them just fine.

Closing Thoughts

Keep in mind that the suggestions above are only suggestions.

You can experiment with the different lipstick shades as you provide salon services to your customers. But if you want to play safe, these suggestions should at least have decent results.

Also, apart from relying on the customer’s skin tone, there are other useful tips when deciding on a lipstick shade. You can, for instance, refer to a natural lip color chart from the internet.

Hydrating Vs. Moisturizing: Which Is Better For Your Skin?

Content Team Makeup

Published October 25, 2022

Skincare is an integral part of many people’s lives.

Certain individuals even follow a strict skincare routine every day. If you’re one of those individuals, chances are you know a thing or two about hydrating and moisturizing.

But do you know which of the two is better for your skin? This guide will answer that question, and more. But first, let’s talk about the difference between hydrating and moisturizing.

What Is The Difference Between Hydrating And Moisturizing Your Skin?

When you hydrate your skin, you’re making sure the outermost layer of the skin, also known as the epidermis, has sufficient water. Products or ingredients that “hydrate” the skin may do this in two different ways. These ingredients either: (1) attract water from the environment and into the skin or (2) pull water from the dermis (middle layer of the skin) and into the skin’s epidermis.

Meanwhile, moisturizing your skin means taking steps to prevent water from escaping the skin. Ingredients and products do so by creating something like a seal on the surface of your skin.

Put simply, hydrating your skin speeds up the rate at which it absorbs water while moisturizing your skin slows down the rate at which it loses water. The main similarity between the two is their end goal—to ensure your skin has sufficient water. But they do so in different ways.

Interestingly, while they both have similar goals, there’s a difference between their benefits, though there IS some overlap. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the benefits of hydration.

Benefits Of Hydrating Your Skin

Obviously, hydrated skin will look far better than one that’s not. But here’s why that’s the case:

Water improves the skin’s elasticity, also known as its ability to return to its original form when deformed in any way. With higher elasticity, you can reduce wrinkled or saggy skin, which typically results from aging. So, in a way, hydration slows down signs of aging.
The sebaceous glands produce more oil when they detect that the skin doesn’t have enough water. For that reason, dehydrated skin is often more oily than hydrated skin.
Antioxidants like vitamin C and retinol are capable of fighting off free radicals so they don’t harm the skin. However, these antioxidants often require a sufficient water supply.
Water and moisture are necessary to maintain the integrity of the skin’s barrier, which in turn is necessary to protect against toxins. Hence, hydration is a way to detox the skin.

Benefits Of Moisturizing Your Skin

Moisture is likewise an important part of the skin. That’s why moisturizers have a role that’s crucial to your skincare. Below are some examples:

Moisturizing your skin can also slow down signs of aging in the same way as hydration.
It also minimizes oil production in the skin in the same way hydration does.
Certain components of moisturizers have anti-inflammatory properties. As such, they may help minimize symptoms of rashes, inflamed skin, and other skin problems.
Water-based moisturizers have antipruritic properties, allowing them to provide a cooling sensation to the skin and reduce itch symptoms. This property of moisturizers is particularly beneficial if your face or skin is more sensitive than that of others.
Extreme temperatures and unpleasant weather can suck the moisture out of one’s skin. A moisturizing routine can help reverse the damage that these environmental factors inflict.
Apart from the layer or barrier that prevents water from escaping the skin, certain moisturizer products can also create a barrier that protects against ultraviolet rays.

It should be apparent that as much as we’d like to pit hydrating vs. moisturizing against one another, they’re both crucial, and for different reasons. However, that does lead to the question…

How Do You Know Which Is Better For Your Skin?

To start with, it’s important to understand that just because your skin is dehydrated doesn’t mean moisturizing it will fix the problem. Similarly, if your skin lacks moisture, hydrating it won’t do the trick. Put simply, there are different times for moisturizing and hydrating, so how will you know which one is the most suitable for your problem? Well, the best way is to look at your skin.

Experts believe that when the skin is dull and feels wrinkly or tight, you need to hydrate it. But if it looks flaky, patchy, or reddish, you need to moisturize it. That’s the general rule of thumb.

The Bottom Line

People often think that as long as they’re applying skincare products to their skin, they can maintain healthy-looking skin. Unfortunately, that’s not the case at all. Just like how there are perfect times to moisturize or hydrate the skin, there are also bad times to do either. After all, too much of a good thing can be bad, and that can be the case with hydration and moisture.

That’s why it goes a long way to know the difference between the two, their corresponding benefits, and signs you need to do either. This guide should help in that regard.

Is Dermaplaning Bad for Your Skin? What You Need To Know

Content Team Makeup

A woman getting a dermaplaning treatment.

Published October 11, 2022

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that aims to get rid of your vellus hair. Also known as peach fuzz, vellus hair is the extremely fine, thin, and almost invisible hair in different parts of your body.

The main selling point of the procedure is the removal of vellus hair, which has a surprising effect on your face. Often, removing one’s peach fuzz results in more youthful and smooth skin, which is ironic since vellus hair grows during infancy. In addition, you’ll find it easier to apply cosmetics as there’ll no longer be vellus hair to get in the way. These are just some of the benefits of dermaplaning.

However, upon looking into dermaplaning on the internet, you may find articles about the potentially harmful effects of the procedure. So, is dermaplaning bad? Read on to find out the answer and more.

Is Dermaplaning Bad for Your Skin?

The short answer is NO, dermaplaning is NOT bad for your skin, and for several reasons:

It’s not intensive. One of the many reasons people tend to assume an exfoliation treatment is bad for the skin is that some treatments are truly harmful. These are the particularly intensive treatments. When an expert dermaplanes you, it’s only slightly more intensive than regular shaving. Hence, it’d be unusual if it harms your skin.
It’s not chemical-based. In addition to intensive treatments, there are also specific procedures that utilize acid-based chemicals. Dermaplaning isn’t one of those treatments.
It doesn’t involve an intrusive machine or device. The other type of exfoliation treatment is mechanical. It makes use of devices to exfoliate the skin. Similar to acids, some of these devices have a reputation for being excessively intrusive, resulting in long-term side effects. Dermaplaning, however, doesn’t involve a machine. It only uses a small blade.

Simply put, dermaplaning is generally harmless to the skin or other body parts. It also helps to know that doctors and other experts describe dermaplaning as superficial. If you’re not aware, superficial in medical terms means not invasive or only affects the skin on the surface. But why do patients with the procedure report signs of irritation, redness, and similar side effects? you may ask.

What Are the Side Effects of Dermaplaning?

To start with, it’s important to understand that most procedures generally have temporary side effects. Even shaving your face can lead to soreness if you put in more force than you should. The same applies to dermaplaning. In most cases, you may experience the following side effects:

Irritation
Discoloration
Redness
Breakouts

Perhaps the worst effect dermaplaning can have on your skin is an infection, though that only happens under the right (or wrong) circumstances. That takes us to one of the main issues with dermaplaning.

When Is Dermaplaning Not Advisable?

As stated earlier, dermaplaning is just a slightly forceful version of shaving one’s face. And if you shave your face regularly, you should know the circumstances that make it more harmful than usual.

Here’s a look at situations where dermaplaning becomes harmful:

When you have a sunburn
When you’ve been taking tretinoin or any medication that treats acne
When you have a particularly sensitive skin
When you currently have an active breakout
When you have a lot of acne on the area where your vellus hair is

Can You DIY Dermaplaning at Home?

Due to the increasing popularity of dermaplaning, many manufacturers are starting to sell dermaplaning blades online. Though that’s good news for professionals, it’s not so much for patients like yourself. If you have no experience with dermaplaning, or any exfoliation treatment, for that matter, we suggest not doing it by yourself at home. You risk cutting yourself, which is highly likely for DIYers, by the way. As a result, it may develop into an infection, and that is bad for your skin.

You may save yourself from the costs of dermaplaning, which is pretty high, but you risk causing damage to your skin which is far worse. Seek the help of professionals for dermaplaning.

Microblading Gone Wrong? Here’s How to Fix Bad Microblading Eyebrows

Content Team Makeup

Published June 3, 2022

The lack of regulations prohibiting inexperienced aestheticians from doing microblading on clients is the leading issue in the industry of semi-permanent cosmetics at present.

Furthermore, clients can’t be prevented from visiting the so-called artists who are self-taught or may not even have completed basic training. Low rates are the main reason why individuals seek illegally practicing, underqualified artists that claim professional results.

Another concern is the availability of substandard training courses at a cheap rate. There’s no guarantee that an artist’s training will be of high quality, even if they hold a certificate. There are a number of training centers that are run by individuals who are themselves inexperienced; this also relates to the absence of government regulation and oversight.

Signs of Bad Microblading Eyebrows

Worrying about having botched microblading is the main reason why some clients are hesitant to have an eyebrow tattoo for cosmetics.

Here are signs of a bad microblading:

Uneven, asymmetrical arches
Needle strokes that are too long, too short, or too heavy (the most common issue)
Arches are placed in an unusual manner
Blocks of color as opposed to hairlike strokes
Incorrect choice of pigment color, among others

In addition to these aesthetic disasters, poor execution might result in an infection, permanent scarring, or an allergic reaction if a patch test is not performed prior to the procedure.

How to Fix Bad Microblading Eyebrows

Without touch-ups, the results of microblading will fade after two years. However, a botched microblading procedure is something that needs to be rid of immediately.

While prevention is always the best cure, if that doesn’t work, there are a few options: cover, fading, or removal.

Cover

It may seem obvious, but minor flaws can be easily concealed by using an eyebrow pencil.

On the other hand, schedule an appointment with a more reputable artist for a more lasting result. Because many artists are used to correcting others’ errors, they may have a practical answer. Of course, adding a few more strokes may increase the price, but it’s worth it if it will improve the outcomes.

Fading

The microblading aftercare instructions are strict rules that need to be followed following the procedure, do the exact opposite to speed up the fading process of microblading.

Some components of skincare products like retinol, vitamins C and E, AHAs and BHAs, as well as other exfoliants will accelerate the fading process; however, this is a lengthy procedure.

Removal

Saline removal can be performed as a type of emergency removal, which must be done 48 hours following the microblading procedure. It is ideal for blotched microblading.
Glycolic acid removal is comparable to saline removal; however, the injected solution is glycolic acid. It is also effective for eliminating permanent tattoos like lip liner, eyeliner, and small body tattoos.
Laser removal, in addition to being a tried-and-true procedure for eliminating traditional body tattoos, is now used to remove unwanted permanent makeup.

Preparation is Key

In addition to noticeable changes in appearance and possible health and infection concerns, a botched microblading procedure results in a loss of self-confidence and long-term discomfort. Therefore, research thoroughly and don’t hesitate to ask questions before getting such a procedure.

How to Remove Eyebrow Tint Without Harming Your Skin

Content Team Makeup

A woman wiping her eye makeup while wondering how to remove eyebrow tint.

Published June 3, 2022

Eyebrow tinting is an excellent way to add color to the eyebrows; however, it can be difficult to remove. So if you’ve been to the salon and your brows are excessively dark, or if you’ve tinted them yourself in a hurry, don’t worry; here are tips on how to get eyebrow tint off safely.

Tips on How to Take Off Eyebrow Tint

Your eyebrow tint will start to fade in around 5-7 days, thanks to your regular cleansing routine and the natural oils secreted by your skin. However, if you can’t wait and have to remove unwanted eyebrow tint immediately, continue reading for our best tips on how to get rid of eyebrow tint.

1. Clarifying Shampoo

Make use of a clarifying shampoo on your eyebrows to remove the tint. Clarifying shampoos function by removing buildup caused by natural oils or products, such as brow tints. Using a flannel and warm water, create a foam with the cleansing shampoo and massage it into your eyebrows. Allow the foam to sit for a couple of minutes before washing and repeating until the eyebrow tint has faded.

2. Silicone-Based or Oil-Based Makeup Remover

Using a cotton swab and a makeup remover that is either oil- or silicone-based to wipe over your eyebrows is one method for getting rid of eyebrow tint. A few swipes of the cotton pad will be all that is required to do this, and it will assist in removing some of the excess pigment.

3. Eyebrow Makeup

You can tone down the intensity of the tint on your eyebrows by applying mineral makeup or pressed powder and blending it in with your natural hair color. This is a very quick solution on how to remove eyebrow tint that you can perform on the go. You could also try using eyebrow gel of a lighter tint to help give your brows a softer appearance.

4. Baking Soda

If you do not have a cleansing shampoo or a silicone-based makeup remover on hand, you may use baking soda, a staple in the cupboard. First, create a thick paste by mixing one teaspoon of your baking soda with your regular shampoo. Next, apply the paste to your eyebrows, massage it in, and then leave it on for a couple of minutes before rinsing thoroughly.

5. Makeup Toner

To remove some tint from your eyebrows, take your face toner and put a small amount of the product on a cotton pad. Then, wipe it all over your eyebrows until you notice some of the tint coming off of your eyebrow area.

Be Sure to Only Use Safe Products on Your Eyebrows

It can be challenging to remove eyebrow tint. There are numerous products that promise to be effective on how to remove eyebrow tint, but you must ensure that they are safe for your eyebrows and won’t cause adverse reactions. Our biggest tip is to avoid washing or scratching (can lead to cuts) the area around the eyebrows, as doing so without proper care could result in infection and/or scarring.

Expert Tips on How to Achieve a Natural Wedding Makeup

Content Team Makeup

A woman donning a natural wedding makeup on her big day.

Published April 8, 2022

While a natural wedding makeup look will appear effortless, any makeup expert will tell you that creating the right natural glam look is more challenging than it seems. The fact that this isn’t just any day — this is your wedding day — could make doing your own, the bride, natural wedding makeup feel a bit overwhelming. Not only do you want to make sure your makeup lasts, but you also want it to look good in photographs.

Natural Wedding Makeup Expert Tips

We’ve compiled a list of all the tips and advice you’ll need to apply makeup like an expert, straight from the experts.

1. Do It in a Safe Space

According to makeup expert Béke Beau, not only do you need time for your makeup application, but you also need a calm environment in order to do it.

2. Practice!

Liz Fuller, a professional makeup artist in Boston, advises practicing until you have the appearance you want. Whatever your level of makeup expertise, don’t wait until the day of your wedding to try on your wedding-day look.

3. Avoid SPF Makeup

Liz Fuller advises that the titanium oxides and zinc in SPF products can leave a white cast on the face when photographed with flash.

4. Invest in Facials

The best canvas for makeup is beautiful skin. And as makeup expert Hillary Kline points out, the key to beautiful skin on your big day is preparation.

5. Choose the Right Foundation

Receive expert help in getting a foundation that is perfect for your skin type and gives a natural look, according to Hillary Kline.

6. Consider Using a Primer

According to Jo Levy, a primer acts as a temporary corrector, smoothing fine lines and filling in enlarged pores and certain deeper-set lines.

7. Avoid Sparkles

Any makeup that contains sparkles looks awful in flash photography. According to Hillary Kline, stick to matte eye shadows in neutral tones.

8. White Finishing Powder is a No-No

What gives you that ghostly look isn’t just sunscreen. According to beauty expert Rachael Rubin, white finishing powders can also cast your face in an unattractive way.

9. Use Waterproof Mascara

Mascara must stay put through any tears, and it must be waterproof. According to Rachael Rubin, summer brides should be aware that heat can cause heavy mascara to droop and melt.

10. Define Your Eyebrows

According to Béke Beau, eyebrows are the defining characteristic of the face. Therefore, if you lack naturally full, properly shaped brows, reach for long-lasting brow makeup. Then, enhance what you have, always sticking with your natural eyebrow shape.

11. Apply a Setting Spray

According to Liz Fuller, using a setting spray is the key to making sure that your makeup lasts all day. It protects makeup from fading and is sweat- and water-resistant.

12. Take Blotting Sheets with You

As it may be tempting to carry around a pressed powder inside your bag, Fuller advises against reapplying it. Rather than that, she recommends blotting sheets, which will not ruin the makeup.

13. Try Layering Lipstick

Jo Levy advises layering on lips for a long-lasting finish. First, prepare and soften lips with a lip balm, then apply a light layer of lipstick in a cream or satin formula, followed by a second swipe of lipstick to build color.

Last Words

It’s natural for any bride to want to appear her very best on her wedding day. Most brides want to be themselves, which means that choosing a more natural wedding makeup is an obvious choice.

Cheap and affordable make ups placed on the table

Published Dec 13, 2021

For many women around the globe, makeup is an essential beauty accessory. Have you ever stopped looking at traditional ingredients, the type of products from the big retailers? The choice of wearing makeup can enhance the personal look and self-esteem, but it can also bring up a variety of health risks to light.

The world is changing organically now. Organic products can be found from organic fruits and vegetables to meat, milk, organic foods, and cookware to organic mattresses and apparel, and many more. The growing popularity of organic trends results from the increasing knowledge of our detrimental health and environmental effects of conventional chemicals.

To pay less usually means to compromise a little on formulation or ingredient quality. But in pursuit of living simpler, more natural lives, here are some affordable organic makeup brands that wont break your skin or self-confidence.

1. Cocokind

This brand got you covered whether you are aiming at clean and natural beauty routines or just searching for efficient and non-toxic cocoa products. Cocokind describes itself as a “clean and conscious skin line that empowers women.” Their formulas are based on effective research-based substances, and you will definitely see the effects when you use their products. Also, they give female entrepreneurs financial subsidies to make them feel good about looking nice.

2. Acure

Acure is a sustainable brand that offers high-quality organic skin and hair care. Acure Organics’ skincare products are made with high-quality, natural, certified organic components free of parabens, sulfates, formaldehyde, paraffin, and mineral oil.

3. 100% Pure

The mission of 100% Pure is to produce the world’s purest organic and all-natural cosmetics, skincare, and makeup. This natural makeup brand defines the term “natural” as an ingredient or formula made up of plants, minerals, and/or marine materials that have undergone chemical changes due to biological processes such as fermentation, distillation, and cold processing. To provide maximum advantages, the brand’s vegan cosmetics are developed with high-performing antioxidants, naturally occurring vitamins, as well as essential oils.

4. All Good

Their products are manufactured with all-natural, organic components. Additionally, they are designed to heal, so they do not only look good on you but also make you feel good. Their objective is to provide the purest, most elemental ingredients and organic plants in natural health solutions beneficial to both people and the environment. All Good is a lifestyle brand with a clear mission, and that is: to live in harmony with nature and to inspire others to do the same.

5. Root

Root was formed on the concept that everything you put on your face should be natural, safe, and should improve your beauty at an affordable price. The products are carefully designed for delicate skin and, of course, do not contain any harsh chemicals, fillers, or toxins. They sell everything, including skincare, cosmetics, and body goods.

6. Honest Beauty

Jessica Alba founded Honest Beauty in 2015, and it is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. They are well renowned for being affordable natural makeup and providing nontoxic beauty. Moreover, Alba was the face of three different cosmetics companies before launching her own. The Honest Company began with home and baby products, emphasizing clean ingredients but has now expanded to include a line of clean skincare, hair care, and cosmetic goods.

7. Well People

Well People is a great clean beauty starter brand with relatively easy access and fantastic price points for non-toxic makeup. Their philosophy is that organic makeup could be both minimalist and fashionable while still utilizing 100% natural and organic components in cutting-edge formulas. They believe in a natural, “no makeup” approach when it comes to colors. While there is some decent pigment, this product is more about real-girl makeup to appear fresh and attractive, rather than the weight and drama of a makeup artist brand.

8. Rejuva Minerals

Many Rejuva Minerals products are manufactured with natural and organic components, and they have been EWG-verified and MADE SAFE certified. This signifies that the chemicals used are free of negative ones that impact behavior, development, or reproduction. They include no carcinogens, fire retardants, heavy metals, hazardous solvents, or other potentially dangerous substances. Rejuva Minerals adheres to Good Manufacturing Practices and provides its customers with complete ingredient disclosure. Moreover, their natural and organic cosmetics are harmless and safe.

9. Alima Pure

Alima Pure strives to develop luxury and high-performance cosmetics using only the purest natural components. Parabens, sulfates, phthalates, dimethicone, petroleum, talc, bismuth oxychloride, and nanoparticles are not present in their formulations. Furthermore, they’ve also never been tested on animals, plus it is also suitable for extremely sensitive skin because of its hypoallergenic components.

10. Zuzu Luxe

Zuzuluxe is a comprehensive cosmetics brand targeting a younger demographic with bright, vivid hues. They are providing high-end cosmetics manufactured from natural materials. They are gluten-free, vegan, and cruelty-free. At the same time, they are appropriate for all skin types.

Final Words

Whether food, cosmetics, or others, organic products imply high-quality ingredients, ethical sourcing, and less environmental effect, all of which are costly. Thanks to these affordable organic makeups, anyone may enjoy deliberately crafted cosmetics without spending an arm or a leg or putting our earth in debt.

You can make use of organic lip crayons, brow pencils, eyeshadow palettes, liquid foundations, lip products, and many more. But no matter what beauty brands you buy, remember that they should fit your skin and improve your beauty rather than otherwise and make you spend more on medical fees.

9 Indie Makeup Brands That Won’t Disappoint

Young women pointing rose to her cheecks

Published Aug 30, 2021

I’m just gonna start this post with a prediction that indie makeup will be the future of the beauty industry. Actually, no, that’s not a prediction. It’s already happening. According to Forbes, indie beauty brands are gaining the upper hand in the cut-throat world of cosmetic products. And it’s easy to see why.

In an industry where trends rise and fall in the blink of an eye, indie brands have become the game changers and trendsetters. If you look at the makeup trends that went viral in recent years, most of them were started by an indie brand.

Their relative anonymity also played to their advantage. It allowed them to cater to a niche demand. In fact, most indie makeup brands were started to cater to niche markets that mainstream brands failed to serve.

But as the market for low-cost, high-quality makeups expanded, so did the number of indie makeup brands. If you’ll search the internet today for the best indie makeup brands, you’ll probably see hundreds of recommendations. Some were truly innovative brands with quality products that can match even known luxury brands. While others just don’t live up to the hype.

Lucky for you, I already did the leg work. I scoured various beauty forums and reviews to come up with this list of indie makeup brands that won’t disappoint.

1. Coloured Raine

Known for its highly pigmented eyeshadows, Coloured Raine broke barriers in the cosmetics industry. When the brand was founded in 2013, most makeup products were geared towards fair-skinned women. But its founder believed that beauty should be about self-expression. She wanted to create a beauty line that embraces all shades of skin tones. This resulted in the vibrant and long-lasting hues and colors that are specially formulated for darker skin tones.

Must-Try: Queen of Hearts™ Eyeshadow Palette

2. Devinah Cosmetics

Branding itself as the “eyeshadow emporium”, it’s pretty obvious what Devinah Cosmetics specializes in. The brand is known for its handmade eyeshadow palettes in a variety of eye-popping colors.

Since they make everything by hand, non of their products are tested on animals. They’re even PETA-certified.

Must-Try: Aurorae Flare Collection

3. Kjaer Weis

Founded by world-renowned makeup artist Kirsten Kjaer Weis, the brand reflects her style in so many ways. Despite being an indie brand, they offer luxury products with price points rivaling that of Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. But since their products are made from certified organic and natural materials, I think it’s pretty reasonable. Kjaer Weis was also the first luxury beauty brand to introduce refillable packaging. They also use recyclable and compostable FSC-certified materials to package and ship their products all over the world.

4. Jillian Dempsey

Building on her experience and reputation as a legendary makeup artist, Jillian Dempsey founded a brand in her namesake. She translated those experiences and expertise together with her sense of color into her makeup products.

Staying true to her image as a passionate animal advocate, all of her products are vegan and cruelty-free. They are also derived from natural and organic ingredients making them truly “finger-friendly”.

5. Uoma Beauty

With a slogan that says “beauty comes in every color”, we already know that Uoma beauty has some great stuff to offer. From their foundations to their brow definers, they have the colors to match every shade of skin.

Founded by Sharon Chuter, a Nigerian-born beauty executive, the brand seeks to rewrite the rules of diversity and inclusivity. The brand name itself, Uoma, is derived from the Igbo word “oma” which means beautiful. And true to their slogan, they have created beauty in vibrant lush colors that are sure to delight everyone from all walks of life.

6. Mented Cosmetics

Like most brands in this list, Mented Cosmetics offers vegan, cruelty-free makeup products. But they are especially known for their highly pigmented eyeshadows and lipstick in different shades of nude. Their website also has a great shade finder tool to help you find your perfect foundation and nude lipstick shade.

7. Kosas

Setting itself apart from most indie make-up brands, Kosas offers clinically-tested makeup products. This ensures that everything you’re putting on your skin is actually good for it. They’re also renowned for their loose, clean, and comfy formula that doesn’t feel too thick on the skin. Their lightweight lipsticks, in particular, glides easily on your lips and don’t leave residues when removed. This gives you the freedom to do and redo your makeup to your heart’s content.

8. Makeup Geek

Though they have a wide range of makeup offerings, Makeup Geek specializes in eyeshadows. Whether you’re looking for highly pigmented matte shadows or metallic ones that are a hybrid between powder and cream eyeshadows, they’ve got the right one for you. They even let you create your own eyeshadow palette.

If you’re not really a fan of eyeshadows, their vibrant colored blushers and bronzers are also worth checking out.

9. Thrive Causemetics

Combining makeup and skincare, all Thrive Causemetics products are made of skin-friendly products. They don’t use sulfates, parabens, and any synthetic or animal-derived ingredients.

But aside from their natural and cruelty-free products, Thrive Causemetics is also actively giving back to the community. They run various charity drives that are mostly aimed at lifting women and supporting current social justice issues. So every time you buy from them, you’re not only making yourself beautiful, you’re making the world a better place to live in too.
