MAKEUP
For Reference: I’m usually MAC NC20 (Under Eyes) & NC25 (Face).
Like many of you, this is a category I’ve really struggled with when it comes to cleaner ingredients. Especially in terms of shade ranges, performance, wear time, & color payoff. The truth is, that many natural makeup products just don’t meet my expectations. And, I’m finding it more difficult as I get older, & my skin is starting to change. So, not everything mentioned here is completely clean (at the moment) – but, its better than MAC (ingredient-wise). Just so you can tell the difference – I’ve indicated the options below that aren’t the cleanest, with an (*). As I test out more – I’ll add my faves here.
