Here is the ultimate guide to affording non toxic and organic makeup.
- - -
First of all congratulations on making your switch to clean and organic beauty. Clean beauty is gentler on your skin and totally worth the buy, but it might be more expensive than you were anticipating.
So, why is organic makeup so expensive?
Clean makeup products are made with rare ingredients and, those made with organic ingredients typically cost more to farm and produce. This is why brands have to charge a significant price for most of the items.
Most organic makeup brands price their products at a moderate point between drug store prices and luxury brand prices.
The average organic makeup product cost $25
with a $15-$60 average price range.
Average drug store makeup product costs $12
with $5-$22 avg. price range
Average luxury brand makeup product costs -$60
with $30-$150 avg. price range
If buying luxury makeup like Chanel is already your normal, then you don’t need this guide.
However, for all my drugstore and $20 and under makeup lovers
HERE IS: The ultimate guide to affording organic and non-toxic makeup
Shop the sales first
Whether you are in-store or online before you go browsing around new arrivals, head straight for the sale.
Buy anything that is on sale, especially if it is a staple color like taupe or mauve and definitely consider it if can be multi-use.
Don't forget the clearance sections. Shopping the Clearance sale is super sustainable and saves money.

Buy Multi-use makeup products
Buy products you can use for more than one step in your glam routine.
That eyeshadow just might be the perfect eyebrow filler. Or that lipstick can work as a cream blush if you use the right applicator. The palettes by 100% pure include 5 shade options you can use for highlighter, eyeshadow and blush. Check it out here.
Only use what you need
We have all overdone it before with our makeup, only to ask later -
Where did I think I was going?
At $55 dollars a bottle your foundation doesn't have to be layered everyday for a grocery store run.
Save the money and full glam for Saturday night or the cameras.
Instead use some day cream and a light powder foundation that can even your skin tone. My go-to for this method is the Alima Pure satin matte foundation.
Even our full glam can be toned down from the showgirl TV version we often mimic. Just focus on covering your spots and balancing your skin tone, the rest is extra.
My secret simple combo is a little mascara, a dab of blush and moisturized lips. Check out my minimal glam makeup routine here.
Try a DIY Recipe
Sometimes the best person for the job is you. Organic makeup is still new and is imperfect like all other cosmetic companies. If you need that perfect shade or want a bulk size of product, try making your own lip gloss or eye cream with recipes from the web.
Wellness mama is a great blogger and resource for organic and all-natural DIYS.
These are just a few tips to buying organic makeup and saving money. I plan to write more articles like this and hope they find you well.
