Benefits of Organic Makeup
Subject to strict controls that ensure traceability, safety, and quality of ingredients, organic cosmetics are made from substances derived from organic farming and therefore free from genetically modified organisms and chemicals that can irritate the skin and be harmful to the body.
The availability of an organic product requires that its ingredients, both plant and animal derived, come from organic farming or breeding and represent at least 95% of the product, and that they do not contain petroleum substances, synthetic dyes, formaldehyde, and paraffins.
Artificial ingredients can actually block cellular respiration by clogging pores and causing dermatitis and allergic reactions. The production of organic cosmetics assumes the total absence of animal testing.
Both organic cosmetics and their packaging are biodegradable and recyclable, which is why buying organic products helps protect the environment as well as health.
Where Does the Word Cosmetic Come From?
Derived from the Greek κοσμέω (kosméō), meaning to put in order, cosmetics are not limited to simple and superficial beautification of the face, but communicate aspects of our identity that we feel the desire to show others and in which we love to see ourselves reflected. Beyond the external appearance, the careful selection of body care products also reflects a responsible and conscious behavior towards the environment and one’s health.
As indicated by recent studies, many traditional and non-organic cosmetics contain various substances used as artificial dyes that are harmful to the body, such as iron, copper, and manganese, as well as metal oxides like cadmium and chromium.
The greater awareness of the risks associated with the use of certain beauty products and the increased sensitivity of consumers has pushed manufacturers to pay more attention to respecting the body and the environment.
Black is black
On the runways, total black for eye makeup is all the rage. If you love smokey eyes, this is truly your autumn-winter. You can make your makeup glamorous and super elegant with touches of gold, silver, copper, or glitter at will, apply makeup only on the upper or lower part of the eye to lighten the gaze and use smokey eyes even during the day. Or combine black with other colors for an almost ethnic look.
Fresh colors
Eyeshadows like never before on the eyes, for a perfect makeup of 2022. Then you can use these super fresh and striking shades from spring. Dare orange, turquoise, blue, and yellow, ideal if extravagant and unconventional on a nude base.
Strong Lips
The ideal shades for super glamorous lips are strong, gothic, and defined. Especially for autumn-winter, choose very warm and dark reds and burgundies, perfect with a matte effect. If you don’t like to makeup your lips, leave them natural, at most with a touch of lip balm or clear gloss.
Colorful Hair or Updos
Braids, classic updos like ponytails, buns, and delicate waves in a 1950s style are perfect. But you can also dare with super colorful streaks, fake or real, as long as they are in neon or shock colors, cool if matched with outfit accessories.
