Does vegan makeup work?
Keeping it simple, silly
Why shouldn’t we wear our hearts on our sleeves?
More and more, consumers are finding ways to tell companies where their values lie by the choices they make in stores. I love to see it! Demand controls supply after all, right?
Today, we’re keeping our eyes on the prize as we talk about the offerings from INNISFREE’s vegan makeup line: Simple Label. The products all have a simple formula, composed of only the necessary natural ingredients to still deliver great results. Whether you’re an animal lover or tend to fare better with gentle formulas, it might pay to give it a look!
When you hear the phrase “vegan makeup”, you might picture grinding up a little bit of charcoal in small mortar to create a literal smoky eye makeup. Thankfully, these products won’t require as much elbow grease.
Raising a few eyebrows
Whether going for a straight brow, fluffy brow, or a more natural brow, you’re definitely going to want something that will last the day. No one wants to be caught offguard by their reflection in a shop window!
The Simple Label Lasting Pencil Brow has a chiselled tip to offer you more control over the shape you’re going for, and has a screw brush on the other end for brow grooming to your heart’s content!
Getting in line
Humidity is the bane of most makeup aficionados, which is why “waterproof” has become one of my favorite words to see! The Simple Label Waterproof Pencil Liner delivers smudge-free makeup that’ll keep you company all day.
My eyes are super sensitive to pollution and often get itchy before my nose has realized it wants to sneeze. Using an eyeliner with such a gentle formula gives me the peace of mind that it’s not going to agitate an already sensitive area.
Bat those lashes!
A good mascara can make a world of difference. Both the Simple Label Volume & Curl Mascara and the Simple Label Long & Curl Mascara are water-and-smudge resistant for a luscious lash-curl that lasts all day.
Whether you’re looking for length or volume these mascaras deliver, thanks to their bamboo-derived fiber brushes and volcanic ash-derived powder.
The skin around our eyes is thin and delicate and never hurts for special care. Using gentle, hypoallergenic is a great first step to keeping that area healthy, but there’s always more you can do!
I know it’s not super sexy, but removing your makeup before going to bed is key to ensuring your skin can breathe and you’re not attracting any nasties. Plus, you’ll have to do way less scrubbing than if you were to leave the task to the next day.
And another hot tip for anyone looking is to ensure you’re using products that aren’t past their best by dates - those numbers are there for a reason! I like to think of it as a practise in mindfulness, keeping me honest about buying just what I need, when I need it.
So the next time you’re on the market for some eye makeup you can rely on for gentle, all-day wear, you can remember to Keep It Simple, silly!
