<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">A couple of months ago I was approached by Ana from the beauty and lifestyle (with an eco-friendly twist) </span><span style="color: #444444;">blog</span><span style="color: #444444;"> <a href="http://www.anagoesgreen.co.uk/" target="_blank">Ana Goes Green</a>, who</span><span style="color: #444444;"> asked if I would mind answering some questions on natural and organic make-up and on my work as a Make-up Artist. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I met Ana back in June when we both visited the Weleda Headquarters in Derbyshire on one of their annual Insight days (you can read about my visit <a href="http://organicmakeupartist.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/weleda-insight-day-2015-part-1.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://organicmakeupartist.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/weleda-insight-day-2015-part-2.html" target="_blank">here</a>). We have been following one another's blogs pretty much since their conception in 2012, so it was great to finally be able to meet the person behind the screenshot.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">A product that surely needs very little introduction, Living Lumizer is a real cult favourite and one of the few organic make-up products which has made it big time - Make-up Artists </span><span style="color: #444444;">Kenneth Soh and Alice Lane are both big fans as are Miranda Kerr and Gisele!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I can't believe it has taken me this long to write about this little gem. I have probably had Living Lumizer in my kit for over two years but for some reason I've not gotten around to writing about it. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">For those of you not in the know (where have you been?!), Living Luminizer is a highlighter (or Illuminator) and is the <a href="http://www.rmsbeauty.com/collections/best-sellers" target="_blank">best selling product</a> of the RMS Beauty collection. A champagne coloured (kinda white with gold bits) cream with a sheer satin pearl finish, it also works on pretty much every skin tone I have tried it on thus far.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Rich in raw, organic coconut oil and castor seed oil both of which nourish the skin (and are also known for their anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties), plus the inclusion Vitamin E means that it is a real skin pleaser. Do not be fooled by it's rich and creamy, coconut-y formulation, Living Luminizer is neither greasy or sticky.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Conventional (and many natural) Highlighters are frequently over shimmery and contain large glitter particles which make them too obvious and can look a little odd at the end of the day. The beauty of this is that It is subtle. Living Luminizer' sheer formulation gives the illusion of a natural, radiant glow, enhancing features rather than making the wearer look like an extra from an early 80's Meatloaf video (I'm thinking <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSTIsZULYmY" target="_blank">Dead Ringer For Love</a> in particular)...</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Worn over tinted moisturiser, foundation or even neat on the skin, you can apply it with a brush however Living Luminizer works best if applied using your fingers; it melts slightly in contact with the warmth of the skin and blends like a dream. Apply it to anywhere which needs a little lift; along the length of the nose; a dot on the cuspids bow; cheek and brow bones; shoulders and collarbones; corners of the eyes and centre of the eyelids; <span style="color: #444444;">I have even applied it to the knees and hands before now! </span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">If you haven't tried it yet then I urge you to give it a go. If you have, are you a fan?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Living Luminizer is available online and in-store from (amongst others) <a href="http://www.beingcontent.com/cosmetics/cheeks/living-luminizer.htm" target="_blank">Content</a> and is priced at £30.00.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">RMS Beauty was established in 2008 and is the brainchild of New York based Make-up Artist Rose-Marie Swift. After suffering her own health problems and concerned by the levels of toxins in many traditional brands, Rose-Marie looked to creating a range of luxury make-up products that did not compromise the well-being of the wearer.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">If cleaning and green-ing up your make-up bag was one of your New Years resolutions then this post is just for you, for natural beauty line Benecos have launched a LipstickAmnesty!</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Throughout January, the budget make-up brand are offering customers the opportunity to trade in their conventional lipsticks in exchange for a 50% discount on a Benecos lipstick of their choice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">It is estimated that the average woman ingests up to 4kg of lipstick in their lifetime and with this in mind the initiative is designed to encourage consumers to swap their conventional lipstick for a natural alternative. Free from parabens, heavy metals, synthetic colours and fragrances and with <a href="http://www.pravera.co.uk/shop/benecos-natural-and-organic-make-up-and-toiletries/benecos-makeup/natural-lipstick" target="_blank">ten shades</a> to choose from, there is bound to be a lippy which fits the bill.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Simply take your old lipstick into any of the participating stores around the country* and make the exchange. A list of the participating stores can be found <a href="http://benecos.uk/benecos/lipstick" target="_blank">here</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Usually priced at £6.95, Benecos natural lipsticks will be just available under the Amnesty for just £3.48! What a way to kick start 2016!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">Occasionally a product comes along which completely and
unexpectedly blows your mind and potentially revolutionises your approach to
skincare. One such product was kindly sent to me in mid November and on first
use the phrase OH MY GOODNESS (loudly, hence the capitals), was repeated
numerous times to anyone who would listen - including the cat!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times;">Being of a sceptical nature when it comes to beauty claims (particularly age defying ones), I
don't usually expect to see instant results when I use a product, however from
the first application there was a noticeable change in the appearance and feel
of my skin. My face looked instantly perkier; fine lines seemed to have
diminished; my skin looked really velvety and felt amazing soft to the touch;
even the other half commented on how great my skin looked! I don't wish to
continue waxing lyrical but in short, I was bowled over.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Times;">Described as multifunctional and high performance, the Serum is light and very fluid (a </span></span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times;">couple of pumps of the bottle is plenty to cover my face and neck</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times;">). On application the clear serum glides easily
over the skin and leaves a slight tacky residue on the surface which quickly
subsides. I love the scent. It smells healthy - one whiff and I am sure you will understand what I mean.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"><span style="color: #444444;">So what makes this serum so special (and smell so healthy)? Alongside the superfood
extracts of Kale, spinach and Aloe Vera, the serums three key ingredients are
Tripeptide-37, Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid and Chelated Vitamin C (Magnesium
Ascorbyl Phosphate).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

in the human body, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) plays a vital role in retaining
moisture and maintains skins elasticity. As we age naturally occurring HA
levels reduce and the skin thins, becoming dehydrate but if applied topically,
HA replaces some of the lost moisture and the skins appearance improves. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

synthetic ingredient designed to encourage the skins production of collagen and
kick start the healing process. Tripeptide-37 37 is allegedly clinically proven
to reduce wrinkles in 28 days, reduce wrinkle depth by 88%, improves smoothness
by 45% and increase collagen by up to 175%! </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"><span style="color: #444444;">I have never used an acid based serum before and to be honest didn't know quite what to expect. It may not be to everyones taste, each to their own; I have quite dehydrated skin which is prone to sensitivity and redness. I also can't prove or disprove those stats but I can say that from just a couple of weeks of use, the Tri-Pep-37 and friends seem to be doing something good.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">There has to be a downside and the one negative of this serum is
the inclusion of Phenoxyethanol. An ingredient I generally try to avoid, this is where I am torn I admit - I love this serum and it seems to be doing wonders for my skin but am battling over whether to re-purchase or not... I will finish the bottle and consider my options... hmmm... </span></span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">In a change to my usual formulation for picking posts from the vault (i.e. finding the oldest), I decided that I would repost a post which I published in the middle of last year. Although relatively recent, I felt that January was the perfect time too give it another airing - I hope you don't mind...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I am sure I am not alone when I say that every year I find myself with a collection of products that myself and my household have absolutely no use for (aftershave!? - this is a beard-wearing household!) or have no inclination to use primarily due to their ingredients list - yes, I'm talking to you weird pink fluro bubble bath with a list longer than the Magna Carta! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">This scenario most often occurs around Christmas and/or birthday time when a well meaning elderly individual who I haven't see since I was 3 months old (if ever) very kindly sends me a present which is not to my taste or possibly even meant for me - then I guilt at not even having sent them a card! What do you do..?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">When I find myself with a surplice of products that I don't want for one reason or another, I generally pass pieces on to friends and family and take the remainder to one of my local charity shops (I rotate donations) or donate skincare to the weekly food bank managed by my mum.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Having recently been very kindly given a selection of (new) make-up products which I had no plans to use, I pondered over what to do with it - it wasn't suitable for my kit or myself and there is none who I would give it to as a present...What to do? I did a little research and came across <b>Give And Makeup</b> - I had my answer!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Each year thousands of women and children in the UK are affected by domestic violence, sadly half of the incidents go unreported however a large number have to flee their homes and find themselves with nothing. <b>Give And Makeup</b> works with Women's Aid, Refuge and CRI (London area) to not only provide women and children with the basics but also the items that can help provide confidence to women who are possibly at their lowest.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">For the first time in it's 16 year history, Pantone have for the first time chosen two shades to carry the accolade of being named PANTONE Colour of the Year 2016; Rose Quartz and Serenity... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>A harmonious pairing of inviting shades that embody a mindset of tranquility and inner peace.</i></span></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">This is my fourth year of exploring colour in this way and although this may not be my favourite choice of shade(s) so far, it is a lovely break from tradition by introducing two shades. After a run of quite strong shades the warm pink of Rose Quartz and the cooler, tranquil Serenity bring a little softness to proceedings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">According to the colour gurus at Pantone, the pairing of Rose Quartz and Serenity brings calm and relaxation. Regardless of the finish (matte, metallic or glossy) or whether in a hard or soft material, the duo sit easily alongside other mid-tones such as rich browns, greens, purples as well as all shades of yellow and pink; they also work well if teamed with silver or hot bright shades.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Feel Pantone inspired with my Rose Quartz and Serenity make-up choices...</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I can't believe this post has come Round again so quickly! My mother always says that time seems to speed up as you get older and I think she's right - but 2015 has really flown by! I am ending the year as I have done for the last two or three with a round-up of my favourite products; an eclectic mixture of nails, skin and make-up.</span></div>

So without further ado, here are my Top Five Products of 2015...</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Louise Young LY49 - Deluxe Small Powder Brush</b></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">If you have read this blog for a while you will know that these are my favourite brand of make-up brushes and this addition to my already somewhat extensive brush collection has to have been one of my go-to tools. A truly versatile brush, the loosely packed bristles make it ideal for applying blush, powder and even contouring! </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Inika Light Reflect Highlighting Creme</b></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">This was such a re-discovery and I can't believe that it managed to slip out of favour in the first place. The rich creamy formulation is designed to lighten and brighten and the peachy-pink tone is shot through with gold, making it the perfect way to give most skin tones a flattering, warm and luminous glow. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Fresh Therapies Nail Elixir</b></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I was kindly sent a bottle of this to try earlier on in the year and it was an instant hit. Already a lover of the Fresh Therapies Nail Polish Remover (which appeared in last years Top Five), my nails get pretty neglected and were in despite need of a little tlc, so this was the perfect antidote - in fact it reminds me I need to get another bottle.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><b>RMS Beauty Eye Polish in Seduce</b></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">An impromptu purchase at the RMS Beauty Tinted Un-Powder launch back in July, Seduce won me over instantly. A beautiful earthy brown with bronze/gold undertones, Seduce is for all intents and purposes a cream eyeshadow but (and this is what I think won me over initially) it has the added twist of being a fabulous brow colour! </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><b>We Evade Bronzer </b></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I've always had a bit of a difficult relationship with shimmery bronzer. A frequently misused product which I admit to much maligning over the years, I had cause to reassess when I first tried We Evade. With a subtle sheen rather than outright shimmer, this particular bronzing powder is beautiful and is a great anicdote to pale, winter skin.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Outside of work I am not the most organised individual and yet again Christmas has crept up on me but for once I am feeling quietly confident. Having completed most of my gift shopping, made (with the help of my three year old) and written (without said help) the few cards I send to close family and friends and made (once again with help) six baked bean christmas cakes* I feel I am on a roll...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444;">Yes (at time of writing) there is still the Christmas tree to decorate, presents to wrap, food shopping to do and an endless list of other things that I am sure will keep me busy but hey, it's christmas and the feeling of goodwill and seasonal cheer is well and truly here.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">This the penultimate post of the year and other than a couple I have scheduled, I am going to take a little break for the next week or so and enjoy the festive season. Thank you for all your support, blog reading, tweeting and insta-liking over the past year, it is all much appreciated. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I will be back in January with more product posts, the all new step by step guides and more behind the scenes snippets. I will hopefully be bringing you the long awaited new look blog, which although near complete has been on the back burner since the summer for one reason or another as time has run away from me this autumn.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I wish you all a peaceful Christmas and a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2016.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">* Baked Bean Christmas cakes are not a new twist on a traditional recipe, they are just cakes baked in half sized Baked Bean cans... For those of you interested, the link is <a href="http://www.butcherbakerblog.com/2011/10/28/baked-bean-tin-christmas-cake-pt-1/" target="_blank">here</a> (I used the recipe listed too but obviously with organic ingredients). Cute cakes which make for great gifts and a fab way to give those empty tins another use before they are recycled :) 🎄</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">My last trip down memory lane for 2015 takes me back to a product which on the whole I admit to finding difficult to love; lip gloss. That said there are one or two that have caused me to give them a mention...</span><br />

</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Perfect for bridal make-ups, the UNE Sheer Lip Gloss is light to wear and don't feel as sticky as many glosses on the market. Being fairly long lasting, I have found that I only needed to supply small pots of product to the party to use for touch ups (something I always do when using gloss for bridal work).</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I am a big fan of glosses that are sheer enough to be able to use on pretty much any colour lip pencil, whilst still retaining enough pigment to use in their own right, and these are just that. There are five glosses in the collection, from nude (S01) across a range of natural shades to a deep plum brown (S09), all of them beautiful and all versatile enough to wear with or without other products.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">The only real negative for me is the brush wand. Packaged in traditional gloss style, there is a brush inside the tube, which is unfortunately quite spikey and short - not ideal for gloss application in the slightest. Although I do not use the brushes and wands that are in gloss tubes (preferring a disposable wand or lip brush for both hygiene and usability purposes), I imagine that if you were buying this for yourself, it would be easy to get frustrated by the lack of quality and bristle length.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;">For the first time in a while, I can say that I haven't purchased another tube of this gloss. To be fair it hasn't been because I didn't want to but the significant reduction in UNE Beauty's availability in the UK has kind of put pay to it. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">From a personal perspective, one of the great things about UNE was that it was stocked in my local Superdrug (a UK drugstore) and it was so easy just to pick up what I needed. A couple of years ago however they withdrew for these shores (and with that my local branch), for a reason I imagine known only to UNE and their parent company Bourjois; even my most frequently visited online stockists have limited stock. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">The lack of immediate supply hasn't worried me greatly in all honesty as I have found other glosses high I am equally as happy with and with a similar spectrum of colours so I haven't felt the need to seek out the Internet bargains.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">If you are a lover of UNE then I do suggest having a Google as you are sure to turn up some bargain-ous finds; in fact Fragrance Direct are selling their Sheer Lip Gloss stock for just £1.99!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">It is worth noting that some of the shades contain Bismuth Oxychloride, so if like me it is an ingredient you try to avoid (where possible) it is worth checking before buying.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">French cosmetics brand UNE Beauty only hit the UK in 2010. The majority of the products are ECOCERT certified and all are free from parabens and silicones and are cruelty free. UNE work in partnership with Plan, the global children's charity, to protect the rights of girls in Cameroon by promoting access to quality education and helping to provide the skills to enable them to move out of poverty. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Making your Christmas an eco-friendly one needn't push the budget and to prove the point I have put together a list of clean, green make-up gift ideas that come in under £20.00 (approximately $30.00USD).</span><br />
<br /><a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Here are my Top Five budget Eco Make-up gift ideas</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><a href="http://www.lilylolo.co.uk/pp+eye-palettes+0017" target="_blank"><strong>Eye Palettes </strong>from </a><strong><a href="http://www.lilylolo.co.uk/pp+eye-palettes+0017" target="_blank">Lily Lolo</a> (£19.99)</strong></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="color: #444444;">If the renowned Naked Palettes from Urban Decay are something you pine for but you can't quite come with the ingredients then the Laid Bare (pictured) and Smoke & Mirrors Palettes may be just up your street. Laid Bare is a palette of eight neutral shades in a selection of pinks, tapes and browns (plus a charcoal for good measure). Smoke & Mirrors contains all you need for a dramatic smokey eye; greys and browns to add depth and peachy and pinks for highlight. </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: start;">Both palettes have a selection of</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); text-align: start;"> matte and shimmer finishes.</span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">In my opinion, Benecos is one of the best budget natural make-up ranges that there is and this set certainly doesn't disappoint. Prep your lids with the brilliant shimmering Eyeshadow Base and then create a beautiful soft smokey eye with the Shady Grey Eyeshadow Duo and Kajal Black Liner - plus you get a pencil shaper to boot!</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">This multipurpose trio of creamy shimmering shades are the perfect addition to a Christmas or New Year party outfit. Designed for use on the lip, cheeks, eyes and body (I'm thinking these will look amazing on the collarbone), the coconut inflused shades (dewy pink Island Rose, iridescent Moonlit and sunkissed Bronzed) can be applied sheer and built up to create deeper tones. </span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">If you are looking to build on a brush lovers collection then this (I can assure you) would be a very good start. The collection contains the Mattifying Finish, Skin Perfecting, Eye Pefecting and Correcting Concealer brushes. </span><span style="color: #444444;">I have three of these brushes and can genuinely say that they are lovely to use and work well. The synthetic bristles and bamboo handles are finished off with a beautifully designed aluminium ferrule - beautiful and practical! </span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">If you are looking for something that is a little off the wall then check out this multipurpose set from Esionage Cosmetics. The Neo Victorian Collection is Steampunk inspired and contains three loose pigments; Clockwork (burnished orange), Riviting (earthy old gold) and Retrofit (deep taupe with gold undertones) plus a multicolour loose glitter in Oxidize. Created (In their own words) by nerds for nerds this quad is the perfect make-up gift for any fan girl or boy! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgid9lENZAXv8O7hMppeAnQ_p4HMrW4F2Y09DeKPJplgQZP3MNbt_JEKTeK3nOest8FsoFkotn_rSBDedzDC1TpBobal7-R-j83W4ka-e4P4HWtOKCEIbzcfeELVSv6zNISr_R7AgKRLHU/s1600/vintage-photo-office-holiday-christmas-party.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgid9lENZAXv8O7hMppeAnQ_p4HMrW4F2Y09DeKPJplgQZP3MNbt_JEKTeK3nOest8FsoFkotn_rSBDedzDC1TpBobal7-R-j83W4ka-e4P4HWtOKCEIbzcfeELVSv6zNISr_R7AgKRLHU/s400/vintage-photo-office-holiday-christmas-party.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="color: #444444;">The Christmas season is now in full swing and many in-boxes and in-trays are full of emails, texts and memos</span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">arranging after work drinks and office dinners and parties. </span><span style="color: #444444;">Those last minute invitations are great but can prove more than a little stressful if </span><span style="color: #444444;">you don't feel you have time to prepare for the occasion.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444;">Regardless of whether you are wearing your office civvies or keep a just-in-case outfit on the back of your door, here are a few hints and tips that take no more than a couple of minutes but will make sure that you make an impact (for the right reasons) on the office dance floor this Christmas.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">If you know in advance that you are going to a party that evening but won't have much time to get ready, then <b>pair back</b> your office face during the day and simply build on it before you hit the tiles. A reasonably neutral eye make-up can be easily turned into a smokey eye with one brush and a single eyeshadow in a matter of moments (or by cheating - see below).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Use that kohl liner to your advantage and mess up those painstakingly created lines by <b>smudging</b> the hell out of them (gently of course) and creating an instant smokey eye. This works best if the line is fresh so if you have a liner pencil to hand then go over the line before smudging - use</span><span style="color: #444444;"> a firm eyeshadow brush or if necessary your (clean) finger tip. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">If you are lucky enough to have permanent desk then keep a little bag of <b>essentials</b> in your bottom drawer. A bag containing a concealer, tinted lip balm, pressed powder and a blusher would be enough to take you from desk to important meeting or party at a moments notice. </span><span style="color: #444444;">Make sure you have some cotton buds, a small travel pack of tissues (organic of course) in there too - I like the <a href="http://www.macdonaldandtaylor.com/sgorganic.html" target="_blank">Simply Gentle</a> range.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Do an <b>under-eye check</b>. Nothing tells of a tired, end of the day face than under-eye fallout. If time is short then take a cotton bud and run it under the eye picking up any flakes of mascara and shadow then go in with a little concealer. This will brighten your face and will help disguise those air-conditioning induced bags.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #444444;">I don't usually make hair suggestions on here but one of the easiest ways to hoodwink the opposition (in this case your unsuspecting colleagues) is to do the <b>opposite </b>of what you usually do. If you usually wear your hair down then tie it back and vice versa; create a messy bun with an elastic band (obviously this is a once a year thing so don't call the hair police) or twist a couple of pencils into your hair to hold an impromptu chignon (I do this one a lot) and <i>Bob's your Uncle</i>. On the flip side taking down <i>usually up </i>hair will make a similar impact; simply flick it upside down and ruffle your hands through the roots for instant volume.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">If you work in an open plan space the party is coming to you (i.e. in your office) and you have literally milli-seconds between the computers shutting down and the water cooler being filled with booze then </span><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Spritz</b> your face with a hydration spray such as <a href="http://organicmakeupartist.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/jane-iredale-d2o-hydration-spray.html" target="_blank">Jane Iredale D20 Hydration Spray</a>. This will wake up a tired, dehydrated complexion and give your make-up an instant refresh.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Remove</b> any remaining lipstick from the day and apply a light coating of balm or moisturiser to give your lips a bit of a pick-me-up. If you have any other make-up to apply then do this before re-applying a fresh coat of lipstick.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">I am a big fan of the <b>Multipurpose</b> product and they are a fab way to touch up your face </span><span style="color: #444444;">whilst carrying very little (surely a must if you are </span><span style="color: #444444;">planning on taking the worlds smallest bag). My multipurpose favourites are Ilia Multi-stick and W3ll People Universalist.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">A sure fire way to create a fresher face is to <b>brighten</b> up your eyes with a little highlighter. Simply dab a little on the inner corners and under the arch of the brow for immediate effect. You can also use it on your cheek and collar bones, length of nose, cupid bow and even shoulders... The options are endless!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">These suggestions are in no particular order so feel free to pick and choose depending on your available time frame and the products you have to hand... Have fun! :)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now December is underway, I can now turn my thoughts to Christmas. As someone who is mightily antagonised by the appearance of crackers and christmas puddings in the shops before the arrival of the twelfth month, I make a point of not thinking about it until then.</span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Don't get me wrong, I am no Ebenezer Scrooge - I love christmas! I just don't want to think about it before the last fuse has been lit on my fireworks and certainly not before August bank holiday is over!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Each year eco brands outdo themselves putting together bigger and better gift sets in the run up to Christmas and there are already a number of make-up and skincare packs which have caught my eye. I am a big believer in giving beauty items as gifts as I think most people just buy the products they need (all too rightly) and rarely splash out on that luxury treat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">The blogosphere has been jam packed some great natural and organic skincare gift guides this year, so I am going to eschew sharing my thoughts on that particular area of present purchasing</span><span style="color: #444444;"> and focus on (what is the purpose of this blog) - make-up.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">False eyelash application is one of the things that I get most frequently asked about. They are one of those things that unless you apply them regularly it is easy to get in a tizz about; I for one am much better at applying them to other people than I am to myself as I do it far more frequently - plus you can actually see what you are doing!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">With this in mind, I was recently asked by online luxury eco-beauty store <a href="http://abeautifulworld.co.uk/" target="_blank">A Beautiful World</a> to put together a step by step guide to applying false eyelashes in preparation for the party season. <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">My guide coincides with the U.K. launch of <a href="http://true-glue.com/" target="_blank">True Glue</a>, the first all-natural lash glue.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: #444444;">I was kindly sent a tube of the glue to use for the purposes of the images so have had a chance to try it out, however you will have to wait until a little while longer to find out what I thought of it - sorry.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: #444444;">In the mean time, you will have to content yourself with clicking through to the guide...</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you follow my other Instagram feed <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eyeslikepandas/" target="_blank">@eyeslikepandas</a> (general life and make-up pics rather than organic specific ones) then you will have had a sneak preview of my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/9eJ9_XjWHs/" target="_blank">new found nail love</a> a couple of weeks ago.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">I'm not usually a fan of gold but this one really has captured my heart. </span><span style="color: #444444;">With Flakes of irregularly formed gold glitter suspended in a clear polish, Muse is an eye catching polish which gives a multi dimensional, textured and definitely imperfect finish.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>

One coat gives a (relatively) subtle finish but build up to three and you get a near full coverage glitterball effect on the nail. To show you what I mean, in the image below each nail has either one, two, three, four or five coats on it..</span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Intensae polishes are all inspired by fascinating women or the world and Muse is no exception; the inspiration being Donatello Versace and as with the lady herself, the gold flakes are intriguing. The seemingly simple flat gold flakes at times take on another personality; depending on the angle and light the flakes appear to change colour, flitting between old or antique and rose gold. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The finish is long lasting and hard wearing and if you are a little lax when it comes to nailpolish removal, this is definitely one that can get quite worn before it is noticeable...

<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="color: #444444;">New Zealand's original natural skincare company, Living Nature was founded in 1987. Certified natural by BDIH, Living Nature have created a mid-budget capsule collection of cruelty free colour cosmetics free from synthetic ingredients and endocrine disrupters which sit alongside </span><span style="color: #444444;">skin, haircare and wellbeing products. In the UK Living Nature is available from <a href="http://www.botanicalbrands.com/retail/index.php" target="_blank">Botanical Brands</a>.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><span style="color: #444444;">Overall it is a lovely collection and I have a couple of foundations and a blush in my kit. I am currently also trying out the concealer, so stay tuned to find out how I get on.</span></span>

<span style="color: #444444;"><a href="http://organicmakeupartist.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/from-vault.html" target="_blank">Inika Pure Primer </a>was one of the first organic products to make it into my kit over six years ago and I quickly worked my way thought the range. Certified organic by Australia's Organic Food Chain and (in the case of the lip, brow and eye pencils) the CCPB, Inika's range of mid budget make-up is free from pretty much every nasty (or potential nasty) you can think of - and is vegan friendly.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: start;">

<span style="color: #444444;"><strong>Zuii Organic</strong> (V)</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="color: #444444;">Queensland (Australia) based Zuii are a brand who first came on my radar about three or four years ago. </span><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.3em;">Created using organic floral extracts and ingredients, Zuii are a mid-priced brand who</span><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.3em;"> offer a wide range of products with a relatively broad spectrum of shades (for an eco brand). </span></span><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.3em;">Despite not being readily available in the UK, Zuii have in the past (sadly not a present) offered a</span><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.3em;"> service where you can purchase a sample pack - super handy when trying a new brand.</span>
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.3em;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.3em;">I really liked the eyeshadows and there are some beautiful shades in the lipstick line also.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><strong>Nude by Nature</strong></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Nude By Nature is a young brand which I have yet to try but am loving the look of. Created in 2008, Nude By Nature began with just three products (and a brush) but has quickly grown to become Austalia's number one natural cosmetics brand. Formulated without synthetic ingredients and preservatives, this small but mid-priced range is apparently now available in the UK, so if you are looking for something new to try, this may be an option.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I have my eyes on the liquid foundations and the primer...</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><strong>Morgan Annie</strong></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">The second untried brand in this line-up. Morgan Annie is a small mineral make-up brand who's ingredients list is significantly preferable to those of many mineral make-up companies. Created by a Make-up Artist, this mid budget range combines traditional loose mineral products with mineral based fluid and cream products.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Always on the look out for new brands, there are a number of products which I would be interested in trying and if I ever get the chance to head down under, I may well do so.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">In the new year there will be a few new additions to my blog - along hopefully with a (somewhat delayed) new look. One of the new additions I have lined up is the introduction of regular <i>How To</i> guides and it is here I am looking for your input...</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I am frequently asked the best way to do certain things - such as creating a cat eye flick liner or disguising under eye shadows and have decided that the time has come to put all the words into pictures (I did briefly think about film but for now I will stick with pictures!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">With plenty of glossy images and product info, my Step By Step guides will cover everything from basic application techniques to more in-depth looks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">And so to the purpose of this post... I would like to know what you would like to see first? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I have a heap of ideas however it would be good to know which issues are most pressing as far as you guys are concerned. From how to apply mineral foundation or clean a make-up brush to creating a full on smokey eye or ombre lip - it doesn't matter how simplistic, just let me know.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">The first of these Step by Step guides will be shot next week, so let me know ASAP! What would you like to see?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">FYI: I have spent the duration of this post silently singing <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCrargw1rrM" target="_blank">Step by Step</a></i> over and over to myself... Thanks New Kids on the Block</span>!</div>

<span style="color: #444444;">November. The month of fireworks, poppies, turkeys... and moustaches. Its that time of year when guys around the world put down their razors and put up with the itch in aid of mens health - yes, its Movember!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"></span></div>
<div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Movember is an annual event (much like the month itself) that spans the whole of November. Founded in 2003, The Movember Foundation is a registered, global charity aimed at educating and raising awareness into mens health - focusing specifically on <a href="https://uk.movember.com/programs/prostate-cancer" target="_blank">prostate</a> and <a href="https://uk.movember.com/programs/testicular-cancer" target="_blank">testicular</a> cancers, <a href="https://uk.movember.com/programs/mental-health" target="_blank">poor mental health</a> and <a href="https://uk.movember.com/programs/inactivity" target="_blank">physical inactivity</a>, in order to help men lead longer, happier and healthier lives. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Each year millions of men around the globe grow a moustache (and in many cases also a beard) and raise money to support this fabulous charity - to date over £402 million have been raised|!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">You may think it is a little strange for me to be writing about beard oils but male grooming is one of the responsibilities of a Make-up Artist - and I do a lot of male grooming (I am also the partner of a long time committed beard wearer)</span><span style="color: #444444;">! It's often not only the face that needs a little TLC, beards (and moustaches) need some love too and are something that are frequently overlooked when it comes to personal care - as is the skin beneath them!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I would like to think that now we are nearly midway though the month, a reasonable amount of growth has occurred for most (this post was due to go out earlier, however it had to be shifted) of those participating in Movember, so h</span><span style="color: #444444;">ere are my Top Five suggestions for keeping beards (yours or other people's) soft, shiny and itch free...</span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">They say it themselves; there are a lot of beards in East London as anyone who has ever visited this hipster enclave will concur. With inspiration on their doorstep, it is surely no surprise that Soil association certified Skin+Tonic made Beard Oil one of the products in their initial collection. Containing fast absorbing Argan Oil to strengthen hair and soothe irritated skin, S+T Beard Oil whisks you away from the streets of London with scents of rosemary and Cedarwood. It can be applied to damp hair following a show or bath and also used as a shaving oil for fair weather beardies (ie those that just go for Movember facial hair)...

Once on set I am monitoring the skin, looking for areas of high shine and strong reflections from the lights - these I deal with during commercial breaks or in between shots (depending on whether what we are shooting is live or pre-recorded), going over the offending areas with a lightly loaded powder puff (Camera operators hate loose powder- especially at close quarters!). </span></span></div>

A sponge will give the densest coverage and a matter finish, where as a duel fibre (or fan) brush will simply leave a flattering glow on the skin.</span></span></div>

The other two shades are Peach and Lilac (t</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">he powders give minimal colour so don't be afraid of them</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.3em;">); the former having been designed for warming up pale skins and the latter for brightening sallow complexions.</span></span></div>

Elegant Minerals Costume Make-up is a<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> cream-based paint produced using a mixture of organic vegetable and nut oils (and a few other bits and pieces obviously!). Being of a creamy consistency they are gentle on the skin they are not drying and do not crack on wear. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The paint is housed in small 5ml stackable pots and is ready to use, requiring no water or mixing and they can be applied using fingers, brushes or sponges and then set using translucent powder. On having a little play, I have found you get much more colour payoff if applying it with a brush than with a sponge so this is worth bearing in mind if you are looking to make an impact...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are fifteen paints in the range, thus covering all the standard colours plus a few little extras such as hot pink, brown and aqua. About half of the colours I tried</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> are reasonably matte in their finish, however the rest do have a slight iridescence. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The intensity of the pigments vary greatly, with some definitely having much more of a punch than others.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I purchased a ten-colour kit (which actually arrived in the form of two five-colour kits - pictured left) consisting of black, white, red, royal blue, yellow, dark green, orange, purple, silver and gold. What is great about these kits is that you can pick and choose the colours you wish to receive, so every one is custom-made to order.</span></div>

This is a pretty handy kit and the accessories make it perfect for one or two applications at home - Certainly worth the money!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I haven't tried the facial cleansing bar as yet (I admit I'm finding the scent a little off putting, but that's just my opinion</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">) but t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">he paint is easily removed using wipes or with soap and water.</span></div>

The Elegant Minerals face paints are free from an impressive list of toxic ingredients including lead, talc, bismuth oxychloride, parabens, and petro-chemicals. These are a good choice for the vegans amongst you (unlike the Sante face paints) and of course they are cruelty free. It is worth noting that they do contain low levels of phenoxyethanol, an ingredients that some of you may wish to avoid.</div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 1.3em; text-align: justify;">With Halloween just days away, thoughts of many are turning to parties, pumpkins and costumes. <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">According to <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2015/10/23/google-frightgeist-helps-you-avoid-being-13th-person-dressed-as-harley-quinn-at-a-halloween-party/" target="_blank">Google</a>, this year one of the most popular searches for Halloween inspiration - thanks, I imagine in the most part to the forthcoming movie Suicide Squad (and the divine Margot Robbie), has been Harley Quinn (<a href="http://www.dccomics.com/characters/harley-quinn" target="_blank">DC comic book character </a>and Batman adversary)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 1.3em; text-align: justify;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times New Roman;">I've been wanting to share this particular product with you for a while however the time never seems right - until now at least. So, If comic book ain't quite your thing and you aren't too confident in being creative with your make-up application, this is a great way to create a look that is both eye catching and artistic.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times New Roman;">Face Lace is a completely synthetic product. Not the first thing I usually write about admittedly but given it's completely reusable nature and UK based hand crafted-ness, I am putting it out there.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times New Roman;">Intricately cut filigree vinyl pieces are machine cut and backed with hypoallergenic medical adhesive before being finished by hand. The majority of the pieces are plain black, however some of the larger pieces also come in satin gold and/or white and t<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); line-height: 1.3em;">here are also a selection of coloured pieces (the Festival collection). A number of the designs are finished with either coloured panels or bejewelled with faux crystals.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times New Roman;">Applied to the face with (preferably) minimal make-up (the more product you apply underneath the lace, the less easily it will stick), the pieces are completely reusable if you applied and removed carefully. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Living in the UK is a blessing and a curse when it comes to natural and organic beauty products. We have many fabulous homegrown brands here and we have some equally fabulous importers, stores and distributors who make brands from further afield available to us. Obviously not every line makes it across the pond so we do miss out on a good proportion of the wonders out there.</span><br><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I have put together my some of favourite natural and organic make-up brands from around the world - in part so you can see what is out there (whether readily available to you or not). Many of the brands I am sure you will have heard of but hopefully there will be one or two less familiar faces in the ranks.</span><br><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hannover based SANTE produce a mid sized, budget range of make-up (in addition to a wide variety of skin, hair, oral health and family products) which carry BDIH certification. The range is fairly comprehensive and formulated using botanical extracts and oils and free from mineral oils, synthetic preservatives and colours and parabens, plus the majority of the range is gluten free and/or vegan. </span></div>

Free from silicone, PEG, parabens, mineral oils and synthetic fragrances and preservatives (some products contain talc), the mid-priced range is certified natural/organic to NATRUE and/or BDIH standards and covers most the bases in terms of colour cosmetics.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I love a budget brand and this one was a real find. Sold only (I believe) in the healthcare store DM-Drogerie Markt (if you know of anywhere else that stocks it then do let me know), the Alverde products are all priced under €6! Carrying NATRUE certification, the range (much of which is vegan friendly) is quite expansive with everything from lash conditioners and tinted brow gels to two shades of highlighting fluid.</span></div>

Launched in the UK a couple of years ago, is a brand who have a great range of products to suit all ages (despite their seemingly youthful appearance). BDIH certified and free from mineral oils, PEGS (and their derivatives), synthetic colure and fragrances, Benecos offer a range of make-up, skin and nail products starting from just £3.95!

<font color="#444444" face="Times, Times New Roman, serif">Established by Annemarie Börlind in 1959, this Black Forest based cosmetics company ticks all the boxes when it comes to ethics. </font><span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.3em;">Formulated using mostly organic ingredients, the Börlind make-up range is small but has some lovely products, free from petroleum derivatives, GMOs, silicones and animal ingredients. Unfortunately a number </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">of the products do contain Phenoxyethanol, an ingredient that where possible I try to avoid in products - both in my professional and personal kits.</span></span>

<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Unfortunately all of the companies listed above are distinctly lacking in products for darker skins. In this day and age, this is really unacceptable and I do hope that all are taking steps to increase their ranges to be inclusive to a greater variety of skin tones.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: medium;">I am particularly bad at using a designated eye make-up remover to take off any eye make-up at the end of the day (this served as inspiration for my other Twitter handle @eyeslikepandas). I don't not take it off but I do tend to rely on the goodwill of my other cleansing products to do the job for me... There are however occasions when an eye make-up remover is the answer and there is no getting away from it.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Many eye make-up removers feel quite oily on application and can leave a film on your skin however the </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Neal's Yard Organic Eye Make-up Remover </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">is very light and being oil free, leaves no residue. The cool and refreshing formula actually feels like you are bathing your eyes in a delicately scented cup of iced tea (I've never actually done that so I am surmising).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: medium;">A calming infusion of aloe Vera, damask rose and the antioxidant white tea (see, I wasn't joking about the tea) soothes, hydrates and nourishes the delicate eye area whilst conditioning the lashes.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Scent and sensation aside, the remover does what it is designed to to; easily removing eyeshadow, brow products, liner and mascara. It is at this point that I should mention that I am not a wearer of waterproof mascara, so I have only tried removing mascaras of a water resistant nature a limited number of times; it has worked but does need a little more perseverance - I can't comment on its effectiveness on big name non-natural brands, </span></div>
