We all want the face we present to the world represent our most radiant, glowing selves.

Putting your face on - an essential for many individuals everywhere! Options range from a light touch to a full face. Plenty of us keep our complexion makeup kit at arm’s reach.

Botanical Makeup - Is It For Me?

Of course it is! With the formulations for most popular face makeup firmly established, experts are learning how to take a natural, organic and botanical approach. At the same time, there’s no need to compromise on quality when avoiding chemical blends. You can find truly professional quality complexion makeup with heart, often with organic, vegan and cruelty free certifications. You’re taking care of yourself and the planet at the same time!

The Best Beginning

Primer is a relatively new addition to our makeup bags, but for many it’s making all the difference! These seek to aid the application of follow-up products, such as foundation or concealer. Many simply smooth with a moisturising touch, while others provide helpful colour correction.

A Perfect Base

Foundation is typically the first step to a beautified complexion. It now comes in all manner of forms, although liquids and powders remain the dominant kinds. What’s more, they come with a variety of coverages. They range from light, for a sheer finish, to full, for a complete base.

Concealer is perfect for addressing individual, specific imperfections. These can include blemishes like spots, pimples or blackheads, areas of pigmentation or dark circles under the eyes. What’s more, there are many types of concealer out there, from sticks and pencils to liquid brushes.

A Rosy Glow

Once you’ve tackled any imperfections, it’s time to enhance! Blusher has been used for centuries, applied to apples of cheeks or beneath cheekbones to sculpt and contour. Highlighter can also be used, to define and accentuate your expressions.

What Ingredients Can I Look Out For?

To add a touch of care to every application, many face makeup products are now enriched with brilliant herbs. Chamomile is a world renowned, historically beloved plant. For centuries, it’s been highly regarded for its ability to deeply calm, soothe and relax. Rose extracts can also calm, while also helping to tone and condition with a truly delightful scent. Especially important to complexion is hydration and moisture, as many conventional products risk stripping natural oils. Aloe Vera is sublimely refreshing, while oils like Jojoba are lovingly conditioning.

However you like to enhance the beauty of your face, there’s a natural product out there for you! Begin your complexion exploration today.
