This is the non-toxic makeup routine I use most days for a natural look.
I prefer to use makeup that is free of harsh chemicals, reduces the appearance of my pores, feels light on my skin, and adds a light layer of smoothness to my skin.
It has been about six months since I switched to a non-toxic makeup routine. I began to learn about the chemicals in conventional makeup brands that can harm our hormones.
Many makeup brands have parabens, synthetic fragrances, formaldehyde, talc, and more chemicals. Since makeup is something I wear often I decided to make a change. For this reason, I have made it a goal to switch out my makeup products.
I am learning new things every day when it comes to non-toxic personal care. The brand Ilia was the first brand that I switched all of my makeup to. So far I like the way my makeup has looked and that my skin does not break out.
In this post, I will share my non-toxic makeup routine.
My Non-Toxic Makeup Routine:
1. Primer
Once I have moisturized my face the first step in my non-toxic makeup routine is to apply Ilia Primer. This makes a smooth base for the rest of my makeup. It gives my skin a light glow and diminishes the appearance of my pores. I also love the way this primer makes my skin feel and look soft when I apply the rest of my makeup.
2. Concealer
I apply Ilia concealer on my under eyes and in areas that have dark spots or blemishes. A little goes a long way so I just add a small amount. I lightly dab these spots with a sponge or my fingers. I love that this concealer brightens up my under eyes and covers up spots without looking cakey. They also have a variety of shades to choose from.
3. Foundation
The next step in my non-toxic makeup routine is to apply Ilia foundation. I take a makeup sponge and apply spots all over my face then dab it in. I like to keep my makeup light so I do not go overboard with this step. The great thing is that you can add as little or as much as you’d like. The finish is more dewy and light to medium coverage. This foundation also has many shades to choose from. A huge benefit of this foundation is that it is SPF 40.
4. Blush and Lips
I like to add color to my cheeks and lips. That is why step four in my non-toxic makeup routine is to use the Ilia Multi-Stick for blush and lipstick. This multi-stick is creamy and adds a nice color to your lips and cheeks. I love that this one product has two functions and goes great with the rest of the Ilia line. They have a lot of great shades.
5. Mascara
Next, I curl my lashes and apply Ilia’s Limitless Lash Mascara. This makes my lashes look long. I also like that the wand separates my lash hairs. I love that this mascara does not get clumpy or flake-off. It is the perfect way to make my eyelashes look more full but natural. The best part is that it comes off easy with water.
6. Setting Powder
Once all the main steps of my makeup application are done I sometimes add Ilia’s Setting Powder. I have found that this step helps my makeup last throughout the day. It also helps it look more matte than dewy. What I like about this product is that it is translucent and has a soft finish. I don’t always add this step if I want my makeup to look more dewy. It’s totally up to how you prefer your finish whether you add this step or not.
7. Setting Pray
The last step in my routine is to apply Ilia’s blue light face mist. This step adds an extra layer of hydration to your skin. It also protects the skin from blue light and pollution. This is also a step that I do sometimes depending on my plans for the day. I like the glow it adds to my face.
