This vitamin-rich concealer has a slightly thicker, but still creamy smooth consistency. It glides on easily with your finger or brush.

This pretty little pot contains one of my new favorite anti-aging, two-for-one color products. It's both a concealer and a moisture tint, depending on how you use it.

Or simply dab onto dark circles or spots with a finer or brush for light reflecting coverage.

Jane Iredale: PureMatte Finish Powder
Jane Iredale's mineral powders were the first that I ever loved. I used to think that all mineral makeup felt heavy and suffocating to the skin, but even JI's pressed powder feels silky and soft on the skin. Pressed mineral foundations with Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide are safer alternatives to easily inhaled loose foundations with these ingredients. Light-reflecting minerals keep skin glowing while providing a physical barrier to the sun, giving the product an SPF 20.
Ingredients: Mica, titanium dioxide (77891), iron oxide (77491, 77492, 77499), citrus grandis (organic grapefruit) seed extract*, rosmarinus officinalis (organic rosemary) extract*, inulin, vitis vinifera (organic grape) seed extract*, simmondsia chinensis (organic jojoba) extract*

Afterglow: Organic Foundation
Like only the best mineral make-ups, this organic foundation feels light and breathable on the skin. But what has so impressed me is that again, Afterglow has proven their products to be on par with professional, camera-worthy cosmetics. As much as I love my JI Amazing Base, Afterglow's foundation does not reflect light, so when the camera flashes, you get nothing but flawless perfection--and it's organic--could a girl ask for anything more?
Ingredients: Mica, titanium dioxide (77891), iron oxide (77491, 77492, 77499), citrus grandis (organic grapefruit) seed extract*, rosmarinus officinalis (organic rosemary) extract*, inulin, vitis vinifera (organic grape) seed extract*, simmondsia chinensis (organic jojoba) extract*

Gluten Free Beauty: Bronze Beauty *Coming Soon!*
When I realized that my makeup bag was lacking a serious component for summer--a contouring bronzer with optional shimmer--I started searching through a few of my favorite brands. But even the natural beauties were using ingredients that I don't agree with. So I developed this fabulously wearable bronzer that leaves skin flawlessly glowing with sun-kissed radiance (but not shimmer). And its partner in crime, the Moonglow Highlighter for light-reflecting shimmer and highlighting.
Ingredients: kaolin clay, pearl powder, boron nitride, jojoba esters, coconut oil, iron oxides. gluten-free.

This pretty pearly beauty is perfect for highlighting the inner corners of the eyes, the brow bone, cheeks, lips, even collar bones for a special evening!
Ingredients: kaolin clay, pearl powder, boron nitride, jojoba esters, coconut oil, iron oxides. gluten-free.

Afterglow Cosmetics: Organic Glow Bronzer
The scariest thing about all the other bronzers I looked into testing was the ingredients! Red pigment carmine is made from ground beetle parts and can cause irritation, shimmer enhancing bismuth oxychloride can contain heavy metals and viscous polyethylene is a synthetic plastic material. Fortunately, Afterglow makes a fabulous loose powder bronzer so that we can enhance our summer glow, without having to risk catching too many UV rays!
