Organic makeup

What kind of organic or all natural makeup do you use?

I use bare minerals. Someone actually gave me some brand new! She ordered it from QVC and they sent her a double order. When she called to tell them, they told her to go ahead and keep it (she wasn't charged for it) and then she gave it to me! I don't wear makeup very often so it'll probably last me a very long time.

I almost never wear make up -- haven't for decades. In fact I don't own any make up. I do use Burts Bees lip balm in the winter (a Christmas gift).

I use Bare Minerals/Escentuals too but I also use Mac & Urban Decay (I know not organic but my fav.)

Thanks so much! I will check out bare minerals since it seems like a hit with most of you.

Let me just add that most makeup makes me break out really bad. I'm still fighting blemishes, but bare minerals does not make me break out at all.

I use Everyday Minerals. It's pretty much the same thing as Bare Minerals, but cheaper. You can even order a free sample kit (only pay $2.95 shipping) with three foundations, a blush, and a concealer so you can try out the products. I have used their products for over two years and love them.

If anyone is interested, their website is everydayminerals dot com. (I can't post links yet.)

I tried bare minerals but I have a nasty reaction to the bismuth in it...I felt liek I was 14 again.

My face goes naked so I'm not very familiar with organic makeup. I do use the Burt's Bees chapstick when my lips are feeling dry, especially in the cold, winter months.

I like the mineral makeup I get from Coconut Bay cosmetics. I've been buying from them for years. I also have very sensitive skin and I've yet to have any reaction to their make-up. My DD uses it too and loves it. google coconut bay cosmetics to find their website.

Thank you so much! I went out to their website and ordered the free sample kit. I'll let you know my thought on the product when I have the chance to try it. You are right about the prices, and they are very reasonable.

Thank you! All of your post have been very helpful to me. I did go out their website too. They also have sample kit to try--for a small charge. Their prices seem very reasonable like everydayminerals. I think I may order their sampler to see if I have a preference.

I have used bare minerals for almost 5 years now and I love the makeup. I don't use any other make up on my face, just the bare mineral foundation and chapstick on my lips

I saw a few ppl mention Burts Bees for chapstick, but they have a foundation, eye shadow, and blush too. I use them all the time! They have coloured lip glosses too, which I love!
