Jane Iredale: Active Light Under Eye Concealer
Revered by many as the purest products on the planet, I love Jane Iredale's line--a natural choice for this most delicate of areas. Active Light comes complete with a clever brush wand, which is perfectly portable and easily applicable. Just one radiant sweep of this gentle, light-reflecting concealer and, even after a night of too much wine, no one will ever have to know!

Jane Iredale: Circle Delete Under Eye Concealer
I especially like this vitamin rich concealer for it's light, creamy consistency. It easily smooths on erasing dark under-eye circles. The pink color of the #2 combo had initially had me sure that the company had mistakenly sent me a pretty, pale lip gloss, but once I researched and tried the product, I realized that somehow these sweet shades erase dark under eye circles beautifully! I really like this concealer duo for everyday wear because it looks so natural, though its light-reflecting properties cause it to fall behind when the camera flashes. So when I'm expecting the Paparazzi, I go with the Afterglow!
Ingredients: Jojoba Esters, Glyceryl Triacetyl Ricinoleate, Sunflower Oil, Avocado Oil, Zinc Oxide, Beeswax, Silica, Cyclomethicone, Carnauba Wax, Ozokerite, Kaolin, Phenoxyethanol, Green Tea Extract, Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate), Vitamin K. May Contain: Iron Oxides. gluten-free.

Afterglow: Organic Aloe Concealer
Afterglow is known for its natural, gluten-free formulas, but what has amazed me is that their products truly perform on a professional level. It was really wonderful to use. I just pump, dip in the concealer brush, and paint my way to complexion perfection! The face really should look flawless after applying just a bit concealer to all the right spots (and circles) and with this gentle, aloe-based formula, it really does! I also found that this concealer is especially fabulous for photographs. There are no sparkly light-reflectors here for a flash to bounce off of, so all you get is a smooth, perfect face every time!
Ingredients: aqua (purified water), caprylic capric triglyceride, bentonite, glycerin (vegetable), methyl gluceth-10, alkyl lactate, stearic acid, euphorbia cerifera (wildcrafted candelilla) wax, behenyl, glyceryl stearte, chrondrus crispus(wildcrafted carrageenan), xanthan gum, barbadensis (organic aloe leaf)*,sodium magnesium silicate, arnica montana (organic arnica) extract*, phenoxyethanol; May contain [+/-]: mica, titanium dioxide (Cl77891), iron oxide (77491, 77492, 77499) * certified organic ingredient. gluten-free.

Dr. Hauschka: Translucent Bronze Concentrate
My favorite remedy to a dull or uneven complexion is this easy to apply, foolproof bronzer. As the seasons change, I find my skin in need of dose of healthy glowing color, and then realize that this natural, gluten-free cosmetic product can be mixed and matched for any season. A concentrate, it mixes perfectly with my favorite moisturizer, and then I just press it into the skin for a softer, more even and enhanced skin tone. It even works wonders if you are rosacea-prone, softening and balancing for simply glowing skin!
Ingredients: Water/Aqua, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Alcohol, Anthyllis Vulneraria Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Lysolecithin (Hydrolyzed Lecithin), Beeswax/Cera Flava, Fragrance/Parfum (Essential Oil), Citral, Linalool, Farnesol, Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene, Citronellol, Geraniol, Benzyl Salicylate, Coumarin, Eugenol, Benzyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Algin, Arachis Hypogaea (Peanut) Oil, Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex/CI 75810, Iron Oxides. gluten-free.

Gluten Free Beauty: Natural Creme Foundation
Finally, a moisturizing, age-defying, air-brush finish foundation that I can really stand behind! This is one foundation product I can no longer live without. Just brush on and blend to create seamless, even coverage, while also hydrating with nourishing, anti-aging mango butter and rosehip seed oil. Of course it is part of a three-part process, as setting it to last for hours does require a blend of a sponge and sweep of loose powder, but don't fret, for the price of one department store foundation you also get a latex-free flocked blending sponge and a long-lasting jar of natural rice based setting powder.
Ingredients: jojoba oil, carnauba wax, mango butter, rosehip seed oil, grapeseed oil, vitamin e oil (from soy), rose essential oil, rosemary essential oil, boron nitride, kaolin clay, iron oxides. gluten-free.

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*

Jane Iredale: Amazing Base
This fabulous mineral foundation is unequivocally the silkiest, most luxurious I have tried. If forced to choose just one natural powder foundation to splurge upon, let it be Amazing Base. After all, wouldn't you say a radiant glow is positively priceless. Tip: The longer the bristles of your powder brush, the lighter the coverage, shorter bristles equals heavier coverage--this is why so many love kabuki brushes!
Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) 14%, Zinc Oxide (CI 77947) 6% Mica (CI 77019), Boron Nitride, Zinc Stearate, Dimethicone, Stearic Acid, Plankton Extract, Algae Extract, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Extract. May contain: Iron Oxides (CI 77489, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Ultramarines (CI 77007). gluten-free.

Gluten Free Beauty: Natural Setting Powder
Setting powder should "set" makeup to last for hours without sucking every drop of moisture from your skin in the process. While this lovely little powder uses oil-absorbing natural rice powder as a base, so has a slight grit to it in comparison to alternatives, what it doesn't do is contain a bunch of hard to spell chemicals that dry skin out, and may be dangerous when inhaled. With the jury still out on the possible harmful effects of inhaling micas, titanium oxides and zinc oxides when applying makeup day after day, I'm just glad to have a much safer, more natural, high performing alternative. Plus, it comes free with the creme foundation purchase!
Ingredients: rice powder, boron nitride, kaolin clay, iron oxides. gluten-free.

Jane Iredale: Finishing Powder
This amazing finishing powder comes with a beauty secret you really ought to know! Formulated to keep the complexion free of shine, it comes in just one shade, but serves so many purposes. Brush onto the nose and forehead for preventing excess oil, dust around the lips to keep lipstick in place and, my favorite, brush under the eyes (over concealer) to keep eye liner and mascara from turning into a 5:00 shadow!
Ingredients: Mica (CI 77019), Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, Titanium Dioxide (CI 7789), Zinc Stearate, Pinus Strobus (Pine) Bark Extract, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Extract, Ascorbyl Palmitate. May Contain: Iron Oxides (CI 77489, CI 7749, CI 77492, CI 77499). gluten-free.

Why buy one gorgeous, shimmering color shadow, when I can buy three! What truly amazes me about these trios is then when I tried them, I couldn't believe how well matched they are.

Afterglow: Powder Eye Liner
These little multi-taskers are quite the impressers! When I first witnessed the glimmering beauty of the Deep Eggplant in person, I could not wait to get some on! I love that I can shade, shadow and line with just one gorgeous pot.

Afterglow: Organic Colorlock
Over the years I have tried mixing my powdered liners and shadows with eye drops, water, icky chemical mixtures, you name it to get that long-lasting, liquid liner look. Finally! Someone has created a natural color-sealant that really does the job. A teensy drop goes a long way, and all I do is mix it with a powdered liner and brush onto perfection. All that from a few simple, gluten-free ingredients--I'm loving it!
