Lush in a Rush: Perfect Makeup for Entrepreneurs

I have finally discovered the perfect makeup for women entrepreneurs.

While browsing the makeup aisle, I came across the first certified organic makeup line in the United States! Organic wear by Physicians Formula is available in stores across the country.

Organic wear is a great makeup line for women entrepreneurs because it’s decently priced (around the same price as average over-the-counter makeup brands), readily available (in case you forget your eyeliner on a business trip), and goes on light (exactly what a business owner needs). If you’re seeking the perfect makeup for your debut on Broadway, you’ve got the wrong makeup because this stuff will not do the trick.

Environmental reasons to buy Organic wear:

-Eco conscious compact: 93% less plastic than a regular compact.
-100% free of harsh chemicals (this will save you business meeting embarrassment)
-100% free of GMOs
-100% cruelty free (no cute and fuzzy animals harmed in the making of these products)

Here’s what I bought and what I think:

Pressed Powder: Brushes on light over liquid foundation. Doesn’t cake. The look is fresh and natural. It feels as though I’m not wearing any makeup. If you have no blemishes and want a super light look, try alone without liquid foundation.

Blush: I bought the darkest Organic wear blush I could find and it hardly looks like I’m wearing any blush at all. I tend to like highlighting my cheekbones a bit more so it’s a bit of a disappointment to have to put on layer after layer to create an effect. I think the brush is made out of goat hair, but I sometimes prefer using my old blush brush, which works better.

Matte Finishing & Bronzing Veil: When I’m finished applying my makeup, I use this for the finishing touch. It gives me that naturally tan look. I have a feeling the brush is made out of horse hair. I happen to not mind the smell, but if you do…beware.

Unfortunately for me, the store I went to wasn’t carrying my liquid foundation color, so I brought the Talc-Free Mineral Liquid Foundation. I’m sure there must be a few harsh chemicals in the makeup, but overall I’m very pleased. I love the built-in sponge!
