I have been on the quest for the best natural makeup for a few years now. These six products have quality ingredients and are fruit pigmented.
Since I love natural living, I have had so many questions about what makeup I wear. So, this video is a long time coming. So glad I finally found a brand I love!
The makeup saga
I’ve never been the type of girl to “put my face on” and style my hair every morning when I get out of bed. Unless I am shooting video, going out with friends, or going to church, I skip it all together.
Yes, I’m the frazzled mom of five at Walmart with a sweatshirt and messy bun. I’m lucky if all the kids are still wearing shoes when we get back to the van.
I’m a pretty low maintenance gal.
Since becoming a mom, research has led me to an all natural lifestyle. It didn’t take me long to discover my cheap Cover Girl makeup was filling my body with toxins.

Is makeup bad for you
Google “Is makeup bad for you,” and prepare to be horrified. Drug store brands are chock full of carcinogens, endocrine disruptors and endless lists of chemicals, most of which are banned in other countries.
“But doesn’t makeup just sit on your skin? It’s not like you’re eating it.” some may wonder.
Actually, the particles are small enough to pass right through pores and enter directly into the bloodstream. The skin is a very ineffective barrier, unfortunately.
I’ve gone through several phases with makeup in the last 10 years. For quite a while, I just avoided it all together. Bare face to the world!
Several years, and a few wrinkles later, I wanted a little coverage. I went through the DIY makeup phase. The foundation I tried was oil based and left my skin looking pretty, but had no coverage at all. If I wore it with homemade mascara the oil in the foundation gave my face black streaks in a matter of minutes. I found a powder recipe that had cocoa and arrowroot powder, but when I put it over the oily foundation it left brown spots. The only thing that sort of worked to even out my skin tone, and had a semblance of regular makeup, was a foundation powder recipe. The only problem was it looked good for about 30 minutes. By time I got to the place I was going, I looked bare faced again.
For a while I just wore Physicians Formula makeup. Although it still has a few questionable ingredients, it is better than regular drug store brands. The foundation is good, but not as full coverage as I like.
About 2 months ago, I decided to try a few things from 100 Percent Pure. I saw some Youtubers talking about it, and I was in the market for something that looked like normal makeup but didn’t have the bad stuff.

The 100 percent pure products I have
Second Skin Foundation: Shade 1 This was the best thing I tried, by far! I will be coming back again and again for this product. Its the first natural thing I have tried that makes me feel like I’m wearing “bad for me” makeup. It acts as a foundation and a powder. A little bit goes a looong way. Make sure to give it a shake before applying.
Fruit Pigmented Mascara: Black Tea Looks just like normal mascara. I haven’t worn it in the summer, so I can’t say if it will hold up to water and sweat.
Bronze Gold Eye Shadow I took a chance on this color, but love it! I think next time I will get an eye palette, so I have more than one color. The bronze works great to give the eyes a little pop.
Creamy Long Last Eyeliner: Blackest I might try a less black shade next time, but I like the product. It goes on like normal eyeliner.
Cocoa Butter Lipstick: Mojave I love that this lipstick is cocoa butter based and fruit pigmented. I chose the color because it doesn’t have pink or red undertones. Next time I will probably try a different color. I wouldn’t say its my absolute perfect shade that I will be using for the rest of my life, but I do like it.
Fruit Pigmented Blush The color I chose is a little pink, but a light brush on the cheeks gives me the highlight and color I was going for.
My search is over. I am sooo happy with this makeup brand. I can’t wait to try out different colors and palettes.

*Edited to add* I recently tried the Pretty Naked Palette and the Long Last Brows eyebrow makeup, and LOVE IT! This eyebrow brush is also helpful to apply it. I didn’t realize how sad my eyebrows looked before. I also like that I can add dark shadow to the crease and highlight my upper eyelids with the palette. Game changer.

Have you looked at Beautycounter? I have heard of other people using this “natural” brand, and wondering your thoughts?
Lisa
My sister uses it, and likes it! I haven’t looked into a whole lot, but she did, and I know she is very committed to natural ingredients.
Alexis Fulmer
Do you have a DIY face lotion /moisturizer and face wash? or any suggestions on what to use? (not sure if I missed any post) Just found your site today! Love it! Can’t wait to see all that is to come:)
Lisa
I wash and moisturize my face with coconut oil. Works great! Google “oil cleansing method” 🙂
Erika
I use Pacifica mascara (the waterproof one, aquarian glaze I think it’s called) when I wear mascara which isn’t often; I use Tarte eyeshadow and blush; and for everything else I use Silk Naturals. I’m so glad I found Silk Naturals. They use clean ingredients and are very affordable. I have their concealer, foundation stick, mineral powder makeup, several eyeshadows, tinted lipgloss, eyeliner, and one of their face creams. The packaging isn’t the best but they are putting the money into having a quality product instead of really nice packaging. I used to use Tarte mineral power foundation and saved the container so now I transfer my Silk Naturals mineral powder to that.

I just discovered Root cosmetics, they are my favourite!!! Everything I’ve tried so far is awesome, their foundation is a powder but it can be mixed with a couple different drops of oil (I use their beauty sleep serum oil) and then applied just like a liquid and it’s amazing! Highly recommend. I like their price point too. I’ve heard tons of good things about 100% Pure but it’s so expensive.

Beautycounter hands down, it’s a one stop shop for my whole family! There’s no guessing because you know the brand is safe and so high performing!!!!!
Lisa
I have heard a lot of good things about that brand too. My sister uses it.

I took the same route as you Lisa! After having kids and searching for God given health I discovered the toxic chemicals all around hiding in everything! Make up was one of them. I went bare face for a long time, dabbled in DIY (disaster ?) and tried physicians formula when I desparetly wanted to wear makeup to a wedding. I finally discovered mineral fusion and I love it! It’s EWG (environmental working group) certified and resembles ‘real makeup’. And I can buy it at a healthfood store nearby. I’ve never tried the brand you use, I’ll have to look into them! Your makeup always looks so beautiful! ❤
Lisa
I will check that brand out too! I hated going bare face. I’m glad I now can have my makeup and wear it too! 😉

I encourage everyone to try Crunchi. Thats what I use. Most of the other “natural” brands contain phenoxyethanol, which is an organ system toxin and an disrupts the endocrine system. Brands like Follain are removing this toxic ingredient from their formulations and hopefully others follow suit. It impacts your body just like parabens. (I am not associated with Crunchi at all. I just like when companies are honest and don’t slip harmful ingredients into their products).
Lisa
I will check that out! Thanks!

There’s a lucious brand I’ve been using it’s French and very natural called Caudelie. I’m in love with this brand! It’s mostly skin care and they do have some make up options like tinted moisturizer, lip gloss and I believe a bronzer. I also use bare minerals for foundation. Bare minerals is good clean makeup.
