As an esthetician and makeup artist, I’m choosy about the products I put on my face — and I’m especially particular about the products I use on my clients. I appreciate when companies are transparent about what they put in their formulas, and I tend to lean toward clean beauty products that have short and sweet ingredients lists. For this reason, Saint Minerals and Eminence Organic Skin Care are two lines that I come back to time and time again.
Saint Minerals is the new kid on the block at Cole’s Salon. We started carrying this makeup line this past fall, and it’s already a big hit with our team. They are 100% cruelty-free, vegan-friendly, ethically-sourced, sustainable and authentic, making Saint Minerals a poster child for clean beauty! Their products give my clients the look they want without the ingredients they don’t. There are no preservatives, fillers, talc, toxins or fragrances that can cause skin irritation and breakouts.
Here are a few of my favorite Saint Minerals products:
BB Cream: This has become my new go-to for “day off” makeup when I don’t want a full face but seek a little bit of coverage. It has a lightweight formula that delivers essential hydration and that radiant glow that so many of us crave. Plus, this product offers UVA and UVB protection along with a boost of antioxidants. It’s a fantastic addition to elevate your makeup routine!
Brow Butter: This product is a game-changer! With its rich pigmentation, it delivers a perfect brow color, and its smooth, creamy texture glides on effortlessly. It’s also waterproof, making it a reliable choice for all-day wear. Plus, it doubles as a cream eyeliner when applied with an angled brush. It’s also fantastic for covering any gray hairs in your brows. A must-have for your makeup regimen!
Pressed Eyeshadow: I’m absolutely obsessed with every Saint Minerals shadow I’ve tried so far! The pigmentation is incredible, and there’s minimal fallout, which makes application a breeze. Their shimmery and sparkly shades are perfect for adding a fun twist to your look. For an effortless upgrade, try applying a shimmery shade with your finger for a stunning finish!
Eminence Organic Skin Care is another of my clean beauty go-tos. They source their ingredients from organic farms and are free of added parabens, petrolatum, mineral oils, propylene glycol and sodium lauryl sulfate. My favorite Eminence product to use on myself and my clients this time of year is their Rosehip Oil. It’s lightweight and delivers hydration along with vitamins C and E, in addition to firming benefits. A facial oil is often the missing piece in our skincare and makeup routines, and as we move into colder, drier months, it’s the perfect addition to keep your skin nourished and glowing.
