BASIC BEGINNER'S MAKE UP BAG
(NATURAL, NON TOXIC, CRUELTY FREE)
I'm trying to put together a bit of a beginner's guide to buying 'natural'
and cruelty free make up.
Today's post is more of a list or directory... advanced warning it's pretty text heavy but hopefully it will be useful to someone.
Here are some of my simplest tips, you can use these as a starting point along with your own common sense, applying your own standards and comfort levels.
Buy samples
Don't invest in expensive make up without trying it out first. A lot of natural companies appreciate that their products are only sold online and therefore customers can't play with in store testers... hence small and affordable samples.
Check and Double Check Ingredients
Use sites like EWG skin deep to search for individual ingredients. I also use my No More Dirty Looksbook and other online sources (i.e. blogs and Google).

What are your standards?
Have a think about what standards you want to apply to your future purchases. Are you happy to compromise in certain areas as you value a particular finish or effect over purity of ingredients? Or are you going to be really 'strict'?
For example if you really don't want your eye shadow to crease and you cannot find an effective natural primer would you be happy/allow yourself to use a non natural one? Or have one to use for special occasions? Do you mind talc in your eye shadows? Is one not-very-natural ingredient enough to stop you buying a product? How do you feel about synthetic dyes? Etc.
You don't want to take the fun out of make up, I think moderation is the key. I personally am pretty strict on what I buy as I tend to regret it if I buy something with a 'non natural' ingredient... I normally avoid using it! So why buy it??
Is it cruelty free?
Anything made in the UK or EU will be 'cruelty free' to a degree as we do not allow testing of cosmetic products or ingredients on animals (yay for us!) HOWEVER I personally avoid buying anything that is sold by a parent company that tests on animals. I have a whole video on this subject here.

Is it Vegan?
Do you want your products to be vegan? How do you feel about animal products in your make up? Are some okay and others not? For example, I will use products that contain beeswax but not carmine (also shown as CI75470) as bees don't die or suffer (in my opinion) but the cochineal bugs do.
Where to shop?
I've put together a list of my favourite shops/stores. I've split it up into American and European shops just to make it easier for beginners.
Having said that, I regularly buy products from America and I have a guide to customs fees here. http://www.allnaturalaspirations.com/2014/06/ordering-from-overseas-guide-to.html
America
Silk Naturals http://www.silknaturals.com/store/
The biggest range of natural make up I think I've ever seen, so many colours! So many ranges! They do some awesome 'dupes' so if you have a non natural favourite you are struggling to part with then head on over to Silk Naturals for a natural swap. It is all super affordable as well!
Brija Cosmetics https://www.brijacosmetics.com/
Made by YouTube natural superstar Brianna (I Luv Jesse 444) and mostly made in collections based on TV, movies and pop culture. Very reasonably priced and great quality - guaranteed a high standard of ingredients.
Pumpkin and Poppy http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/home/pumpkinandpoppy
Another small indie brand, not quite so inexpensive but excellent quality and the most gorgeous packaging.
The All Natural Face http://www.theallnaturalface.com/?ref=sloyalty&token=tpZz9qnL7slb
My favourite! The least expensive place to buy natural make up and amazing colour range. She has a great sample selection available to help you try before you buy.
Red Apple Lipstick http://www.redapplelipstick.com/
Probably the most expensive brand that I recommend... not the most expensive brand out there though. The lipstick formula is second to none and their glosses are amazing. They also do the best pressed eye shadows I've tried.
Shiro Cosmetics http://shirocosmetics.com/
I've not purchased from here myself but their collections and artwork are amazing.
Concrete Minerals http://www.concreteminerals.com/
Slightly more on the expensive side but nothing extravagant. You get a lot of product and a high level of quality for your money.
Nuciya http://www.nuciya.com/
Store ran by a beauty blogger, ideal right?! She knows her stuff and offers extremely high quality options with reasonable international shipping.
iHerb & VitaCost http://www.iherb.com/ https://www.vitacost.com/MyAccount/Referee.aspx?sacpn=SARCWDTR&service=2&site_id=2209221&saproductid=24774&recrandom=5OXVYP&share_type=14&share_type=14&cdata=5OXVYP_774022_774022_90_0_NFN1XO2209221^4270^2308
Both offer 'drugstore' type natural make up like Physicians Formula and Honey Bee gardens. Be wary of ingredients though as I don't think these sites have a very high 'standard' (in terms of green credentials) for the make up products they sell.
Europe
Honey Pie Minerals http://www.honeypieminerals.com/
It's British, it's affordable, it's high quality... it's a great first stop when looking to stock up a natural make up bag.
Being Content http://www.beingcontent.com/
High quality and high end make up and skincare can be found here.
Lily Lolo http://www.lilylolo.co.uk/
A middle priced British brand that I used to be in love with. Unfortunately I had some bad experiences with the shelf life of their products and I'm not happy that they use Carmine in their products so I haven't bought anything new from them in a while. Suggesting them in case you still want to look.
Green People http://www.greenpeople.co.uk/shop-for-products/organic-make-up
Not the cheapest make up brand but not stupidly expensive either, high quality make up with nourishing, natural ingredients.
Cocktail Cosmetics http://www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk/
More of a cruelty free/vegan site than a natural one but lots of great brands on there to check out.
Cutecosmetics http://www.cutecosmetics.co.uk/
A really great site for affordable, natural make up. Not exclusively natural so be aware and check ingredients.
Lucy Rose http://www.lucyrose.biz/special-offers.html
Another affordable site that brings a number of brands together in one place.
Love Lula https://www.lovelula.com/?atk=816ti0TedkGThmAA5x39Tg
More middle to high end make up.
Aya Nature http://www.ayanature.com/en/
A European site, I've purchased my Avril mascara from here.
Mondebio http://www.mondebio.co.uk/
Lots of affordable, European brands
Beautifully Organic http://www.beautifullyorganic.co.uk/
More high end than affordable but with plenty of choices including Zao Organics.
Ecco Verde & Amazingy http://www.ecco-verde.co.uk/ http://amazingy.com/en/
I haven't personally shopped at either of these but they come recommended by a trusted 'twitter friend' and fellow Greenie (Ineke) so it must be good, I was impressed by the selection after a quick browse. My first impressions are that Ecco Verde is more affordable options and Amazingy is at the higher end of the market. https://twitter.com/gogreenbeauty
Both/In Store
If you are lucky enough to live near a wholefoods you will be able to find a brilliant selection of natural make up there.
Naturisimo http://www.naturisimo.com/
Ships world wide for free, a mix of high end and less expensive options, lots of samples available... a really great site.
Other - Australia
La Mav https://www.lamav.com/makeup/
This is where I got my current favourite foundation from.
