Vegan Cosmetics

by Suzann Kale

I love the feeling of afterglow - the makeup, I mean. It's vegan, non-animal tested, and they are signed members of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. Best of all, they are approved by both PETA and Leaping Bunny. And Afterglow is made in the U.S.A.




20 Shades of Mineral Foundation, and Hard-to-Find Colors

From pale to Oriental, plus many variations of dark skin tones, you can probably find your exact match.If you order the wrong shade, or you just don't like it, you can return or exchange your makeup within 30 days - whether you've used it or not. It's completely no-risk.

OMG Are You Looking for the Perfect Concealer?

It's right under your fingertips - click here. This concealer is both opaque and lightweight - for me, that means it covers everything in just one coat. This is the first time I've been able to totally erase this one mole I have, not to mention this pain-in-the-neck rosacia AND my melasma. (Hey, I'm a mess before my makeup, what can I tell you.)

Because of its opacity, you have to be careful with this concealer:

  • Use the tiniest, tiniest drop at a time.
  • Pat with your pinky or ringfinger on the thing to be erased.
  • It dries quickly, so don't dilly dally.
  • For under eyes, I mix the tiniest drop with an equally tiny drop of my facial moisturizer.
  • For under the eyes, I find I don't have to put foundation OR setting powder over the concealer. It stays put by itself.

100% Non-Toxic Lipsticks

Aside from the colors being pretty and the texture being creamy, Afterglow lipsticks are known because they contain no toxins at all. Experts have estimated that women may EAT up to 4 pounds of lipstick during their lifetime. I'm going to stick with lipstick I can ingest without fear.

Vegan Brushes

Synthetic makeup brushes, besides not harming any critters, allow for exquisite makeup application. Plus they're more sanitary and they don't shed. They're more easily washed, and they dry more quickly. I have a synthetic finishing powder brush that is softer than any brush I've ever used. Ever. Synthetic brushes can be as soft - or as stiff, say, for eye shadow or brows - as you need them to be.

Mineral Blush in 8 Shades

Afterglow mineral blush, like the foundation, is light-weight but "buildable." So you can buff on as many layers as you need, from barely-there to bring-on-the-music. It blends seamlessly with the Afterglow foundation. If you do buy a color you don't like, returns are easy, and they have free shipping on exchanges. Click here for blush colors and prices.




Try a "Look"

I've tried this look, it was easy and I'm ... well, old. The makeup didn't settle into wrinkles - in fact, it hides many of my lines. It was awesome.

The model has on the mineral foundation, a matte blush (blushes come in matter or shimmer), mineral eye shadow, powder mineral liner (that stays put, by the way), non-toxic lipstick and gloss, Pure Soul Mascara in onyx, and a light dusting of Organic Setting Powder.
