Making the switch to all natural makeup is great for the earth and your skin, but not always so easy on your wallet. The most budget-friendly way to restock your cosmetics bag is by replacing your current products with green counterparts as they run out—but as those of us who are still using a Clinique sample mascara from 2004 could tell you, that might take years. We've pulled together the basics for an eco-friendly makeup bag so you can make a fresh start without breaking the bank.
If you have $60: Start simple: a Fluid Naturel foundation from Lavera, made with organic aloe vera and almond oil, to even your skin tone ($26); Miessence mascara to bring out your eyes ($24.50); and petroleum-free Hemp Organics Karma Gloss for a little color on your lips ($9.99).
If you have $100: Go for a more dramatic eye look with Tarte cosmetics shadow in Grace Bay ($23) and brighten your cheeks with Physician?s Formula organic blush ($11.95). (Or hey: save some dough and make your own blush!)
