Organic Mascaras

Going green and using organic make up is the future and we know it. Going from conventional products to clean healthy beauty products is unbelievably beneficial to our skin, hair and bodies, and of course helps contribute to a cleaner environment. And today finding fabulous cosmetics, gorgeously package and super-effective is becoming easier.

Now beware, there is a big difference between organic cosmetics and conventional ones. Now just in the consistency but the look and feel. And the difference is most noticeable with particular products such as organic mascara.

Why is that?

Conventional mascaras are formulated with the use of petroleum made waxes and oils, which help to fix the product after application. However organic mascara is created with natural, vegetable or bee waxes, which are generally softer and less hard. This is why organic mascara has less hold and it tends to leave a lighter coat on the lashes than a conventional one. If you want to achieve the look of a conventional mascara but don’t want the chemicals this is what you can try: Apply shadow to the top lid, along the lashes as well. Make sure lashes have been thoroughly powdered – if shadow is not being used, try loose powder (eyes closed) – then curl (optional) and apply two coats of mascara. Let dry for five minutes, and apply another coat. Lashes will be thick and heavy!

Other mascaras you can try are Earth’s Beauty Natural Mascara, Organic Mascara by Elysambre, Volume Mascara by Lavera Make Up or Natural Mascara by Suncoat.
