Celebrities endorse everything from water to cars; now, many are jumping on the cosmetic line bandwagon.
While there are some stars that should leave the beauty biz to the experts, these lines are actually legit and deliver fantastic results.
Barrymore’s cosmetics philosophy is that you should be able to purchase quality makeup at a lower price point, so everything is under $14! The products are infused with botanicals, made in the USA, and none are tested on animals.
Standout products: About Face Foundation, Velvet Lip Chubby (goes on matte, so you may want to layer with a gloss), Crème Blush (specifically the Peach Blossom shade), High Shine Lip Color, Zoom-In Ultimate Mascara, Pressed Powder, Lip Butter, and Glisten Up Highlighter Chubby
Where to buy: The line is sold exclusively at Walmart. Call ahead to make sure your Walmart carries Flower Beauty, as it’s only carried at certain locations.
Prepare to be a convert to this line once you get your hands on it. Maran’s signature product continues to be 100% Argan Oil, a natural healing and conditioning oil that you apply to skin before moisturizer and makeup. It can also be used on cuticles and hair. Eco-friendly packaging, organic ingredients, and no preservatives make it a favorite of makeup artists and consumers.
Standout products: Argan Oil (a cult favorite and ultimate moisturizer) and Argan Color Stick (argan oil-infused lip and blush cream with a sheer, lightweight consistency)
Where to buy: Josie Maran Cosmetics and Sephora
When women use typical skin-care products, they absorb an excessive amount of chemicals into their skin and many of these chemicals are further absorbed into the bloodstream. Upon hearing this, supermodel Miranda Kerr set out to create a natural, vegan, non-toxic and certified organic skincare line that has quickly revolutionized the industry. Those who suffer from eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and rosacea have seen great benefits from the products.
Standout products: Foaming Cleanser, Luxurious Rosehip Oil (for face and neck) and Luxurious Rose Hip Body Oil (awesome for stretch marks)
Where to buy: Net-a-Porter and Kora Organics
