Puffs?  Is there something important about puffs?

Our answer is ‘Yes’.  Why?

Because Mineral makeup can cause respiratory problems, especially if it has Titanium Dioxide in it. On a scale of 0-10 with 10 being the most toxic, the Environmental Working Group has rated Titanium Dioxide up to a 6 in powder products because of studies showing negative respiratory and cardiovascular effects that can even turn carcinogenic when it is in products that can be inhaled.

Because of these dangerous side-effects, Lauren Brooke Cosmetique powders have been specifically formulated without Titanium Dioxide.  In addition, each Lauren Brooke Foundation and Facial Powder comes with a deluxe puff for easy application and to decrease the possibility of any powder inhalation while applying.  So you can be assured that any Lauren Brooke product will be healthy for your skin, your body, and your health!

True beauty comes from within. But it helps when you could also enhance your physical appearance with safe cosmetics that don’t harm the skin. Go for mineral makeup that is made using the finest natural ingredients. This type of makeup will give your skin a radiant look while infusing the skin with beneficial vitamins and nutrients while you wear it.

For your eyes, apply base colors to create an even eyelid skin tone before putting on contour colors or shades that give depth and shading to the eyes. Don’t forget to add some highlighters to highlight areas of your eyes. Lastly, use mineral eye liner to accentuate the outer area of your eyes.

 

Be good to yourself and to mother earth by adding eqo-friendly accessories to your makeup bag.   Good-quality brushes that include bamboo handles and synthetic fibers are just one way you can make a difference to our future and our world.  

Bamboo is very a durable, moisture-resistant grass that originates in China.  One of the advantages of using this plant for everyday items is its ability to grow up to two feet a day, which makes it an easily renewable resource and a good choice for us and the earth.
