This week (19th to 25th September) marks the Soil Association’s annual Organic Beauty Week, so we raided the beauty cupboard to see what our favourite organic make-up and skincare brands have got coming up this A/W.
Here are our favourites…
Dr. Hauschka Matte & Shimmer Blush Trio, £25
This does-it-all face palette contains a mix of matte and shimmer shades. Blend all of the colours together for an autumnal berry-toned flush or use individually to create a natural highlight. Plus, with jojoba oil to hydrate the skin it won’t cling to any dry patches.
Jason Wu for Caudalie Beauty Elixir, £32
Caudalie have teamed up with renowned fashion designer Jason Wu to offer this beautiful limited edition lace-detailed version of their cult Beauty Elixir. This multi-tasking mist is loved by celebs and make-up artists the world over for its instant pore-tightening and complexion-brightening properties.
Neal’s Yard Remedies Deliciously Ella Rose, Lime & Cucumber Moisturiser, £25
This new moisturiser from Neal’s Yard Remedies’ debut collaboration with food blogger Ella Woodward (aka Deliciously Ella) is light and fast-absorbing, making it a perfect base under make-up. Made with cucumber, avocado oil and cocoa butter, it’s also gentle enough for even sensitive complexions.
Spa Magik Organiks Moisture Melt Cleansing Balm, £14.95
Cleansing balms are particularly good for dry skin sufferers as they don’t strip the skin or leave it feeling tight and itchy. This luxurious balm melts into an oil on contact and contains a blend of jojoba, olive and sweet almond oils to leave the skin feeling hydrated even after you’ve washed it off.
benecos Quattro Smokey Eye Eyeshadow, £6.95
It can be tough finding all-natural eyeshadows that are as pigmented as traditional brands, but benecos have nailed it with this formula. With a matte charcoal grey, sparkly silver and a jet-black for intense smokiness, this palette is sure to see you through party season and beyond.
Living Nature Wild Fire Lipstick, £19.50
A classic red lip never goes out of style and this warm orange-toned one from Living Nature flatters all skin tones. The semi-matte formula is totally on-trend but still comfortable to wear thanks to the moisturising coconut oil, beeswax and carnauba wax.
