From flawless skin to bright lips, green and gorgeous go together…naturally. Here are our favorite eco beauty buys.

Everyday Polish

Put away the eyelash curler and save precious time in the morning with bareMinerals’ Flawless Definition Curl & Lengthen Mascara. It separates and curls every lash while its natural formula fortifies and conditions lashes without clumping, smudging, or flaking. Wake up a dull complexion by dabbing RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek on your cheeks for a soft, dewy finish. With moisturizing vitamins and mineral-based SPF, Tarte Smooth Operator SPF 20 evens skin tone covers imperfections. Josie Maran Pressed Powder eliminates oil in one light dusting for a flawless face. For soft, smooth lips, try Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm in six “nourishing” shea butter–infused shades.

Your Natural First Aid Kit

Remove oil and makeup with Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Cleanser, a sulfate-free gel that moisturizes while cleansing for a fresh, clear complexion. Fight humidity and transform frizz into polished hair with organic aloe- and tapioca-packed Aveda Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother. Wake up with a zit? Burt’s Bees Natural Acne Solutions Targeted Spot Treatment tackles “trouble areas with salicylic acid” while “calendula and yarrow eliminate redness” for a blemish-free complexion.

Eco-Approved Party Looks

Head out in style! The coconut cream in Josie Maran Argan Oil Lipstick moisturizes, while its heavy dose of pigments pay off in seriously sophisticated lips. Blend fragrance-free Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Shadow for sultry, smoky eyes that don’t fade even after a crazy night of dancing. Vegan Suncoat Liquid Eyeliner comes in six high-impact shades and we love it because it draws clean, precise, boldly lined lids. Top it all off with the awesome long-lasting hold of CFC-free Eufora Elevate Finishing Spray, our top hair stay-in-place pick.

Tarte is amazing! I don't even use regular foundation anymore! I use the Amazonian Clay based foundation from Tarte and my acne has completely cleared up! Before, I had to do sssooo much prepping to my skin. Different acne treatments, different moisturizers, mix foundations.. Blah! All I do now is use Clean and Clear's Acne Treatment tube all over my face twice a day, mix Tarte's Amazonian Clay foundation with a bit of sunscreen to lighten up the color, set with Physician's Formula correcting powder, and presto! I'm done with my foundation and it literally takes about 7 minutes. I love it because now that I'm pregnant, my skin is so unpredictable and sensitive, but Tarte's foundation adapts so well to my skins changes. Definitely INVEST in a Tarte foundation. I spent $43 on TWO full sized bottles from QVC.com. Best investment of my life!
