Haven’t thought about what makeup look you want to achieve or what to gift your loved ones? This is the perfect opportunity to buy eco-friendly products!
When most people think about purchasing eco-friendly products, they often think the only benefit is helping the environment. Not only do these products aim to use sustainable sources and reduce waste through their packaging and chemicals, but their natural ingredients are also gentler on the skin!
As a college student, it can be hard to find something that meets our needs. Check out the products below for some of my top recommendations for eco-friendly options!
- Well People: Super Natural Stick Multi-Use Blush
-
This blush retails at $22 and can be used as a blush, eyeshadow, or even a lip tint; the choice is yours! You really get your money’s worth.
Free from those hard-to-read chemicals you usually find on makeup packaging, this product is infused with plant-powered ingredients such as jojoba oil, sunflower oil, and green tea.
Well People can be found at Ulta Beauty and Target.
