Going Green With Your Makeup Routine | Eyes

I’m so excited to introduce you to some of my favourite finds in my journey to going green with my makeup routine. With the basics of foundation, concealer and powder covered, it’s time to move on to the colour, the glamour, the details!

I have fallen in love with Alima Pure. They are all about minimal ingredients for maximum impact, and their collection of shadows is just gorgeous. Thanks to Alima, I have pulled together 3 different looks to help you follow the current makeup trends while keeping it pure, green and clean.

SULTRY + SMOKEY
Why not create this look with plums instead of boring old black or brown? I think it’s much more glamorous and sophisticated in this palette.
Base or inner corners of eyes: Hellebore
Smokey contour or wash for lid: Grace
BRONZED BEAUTY
This look is my favourite and a huge trend for Spring.
Base: Chai
Contour: Brown Sugar
Liner: Paparrazi
NUDE + NATURAL
This is a gorgeous go-to look for everyday. Pulled together without being overdone.
Base: Mohair
Contour: Auburn
Liner: Mahogany
BEAUTIFUL BRUSHES
Once again, Alima has my heart. Their Taklon bristle brushes are hypoallergenic, cruetly-free and as good as any pro brush I’ve ever used. I’ve started my collection with:
#39 Large Shadow Brush: Perfect for applying shadow over your lids and brow bone.
#36 Pointed Crease Brush: Perfect for contouring
#37 Eye Blending Brush: The name says it all! I use this to soften the edges of my contouring and blend shadows together.
#33 Angle Liner Brush: This is the PERFECT brush for filling brows with this powder, but it is also amazing for creating a soft liner and can also be used for really precise contour. I love it so much I have two, one for brows and one for shadows! I’ll be doing a tutorial in days to come on how to ID your brushes for their specific uses so you don’t have to wash them daily.
LOVELY LINERS
I’ve tried two natural liners so far and love them each for different reasons.
Vapour Beauty’s Mesmerize Liner is creamy and blendable – gorgeous for a soft, smoky look. I can’t wait to try it in their new colour, Truffle!
Living Nature’s Midnight Liner is dryer than Vapour’s liner without tugging on the eye area – perfect for filling in the lash line and lining the inner rim (I just do this on the upper lid for a more dramatic lash look).
OK, so there is something missing from this Eye Collection. Mascara! Next week I’ll post my first review in The Great Mascara Search. It’s a good one, but I’m still on the hunt for amazing, natural options and hope to bring you more reviews so you can find the one that’s perfect for you!
I hope these amazing companies have inspired you to explore and experiment, knowing you can express yourself naturally! Wishing you a healthy, happy Wednesday!
