I wanted to love it. I was searching for a healthy solution. I’m a skeptic. I put it all to the test on set. I am eternally impressed. 

Hello clean makeup and beauty products. 

They say the more you know.... well the cosmetics industry is DIRTY and I know it. I had started to learn about how all these chemicals affect our health and I couldn't ignore it. So I started looking for high performance makeup and skincare without all the toxic junk, thankfully I found solutions. One is products from a company called Beautycounter and another is finding a source for the best brushes and tools.  

I was such a skeptic that when I was first introduced to Beautycounter, I refused to try it because I had the attitude that I was too good for anything not in a big department store, after all I AM a makeup artist. Newsflash….. I am not too good. I figured I would give it a shot and placed the most random order to try a wide range of the makeup and skincare. I was impressed but the real test started on my next shoot on set. Would the camera love it as well? YES, Mr. Kodak gave it a thumbs up! ;)

 I have been playing in the makeup playground for a while now and have curated a must have list just for you. Be sure to know that I have put these products to the test on myself and on set. 

I have spent countless shoot days testing the makeup on every photo, film, and commercial set I was booked for plus all of my personal makeup lessons too. I have even used Beautycounter on my top profile clients (celebs) and have been thrilled with the performance of the products. My curated list of favorite skincare, makeup and tools have performed well under pressure and I am confident you will love this list too. 

Success was found on every single set!

Flawless in Five Makeup Set

Have you ever spent some time reading the ingredients on the products you're putting on your skin? Let me remind you: your skin is your largest organ...When I started to get serious about looking at the labels, I was shocked.

Five toxins that could be hiding in your beauty bag! 
 

Although I listed my TOP 5 ingredients to avoid, there are many others to look out for. This is a great starting point which can lead to a clean beauty routine. You will be surprised at all the small changes you can accomplish.

Read the label of every beauty product and add up the number of times these ingredients are in the products in your home. See how many there are. What is your spooky number? 

ALUMINUM

  • Toxic metal that can have oestrogen-like effects in our systems, disrupting the healthy functioning of the endocrine system. 
  • Some research suggests that aluminum-containing underarm antiperspirants, which are applied frequently and left on the skin near the breast, may be absorbed by the skin and have estrogen-like (hormonal) effects.

MINERAL OIL

  • As a byproduct of petroletum, mineral oil (which also goes by the name of paraffin—sneaky!) can carry carcinogenic impurities. It also coats the skin like plastic, clogging its pores. 
  • This is incredibly harmful because it interferes with skin’s ability to eliminate toxins, therefore increasing likelihood of acne and other issues.

PARABENS (Methyl, Butyl, Ethyl, Propyl)

  • Butyl, propyl and ethyl parabens have been linked to hormone disruption which is why they are on the list to avoid. 
  • Parabens are probably the most well-known ingredient to avoid due to a 2004 research paper that appeared to find traces of parabens in breast cancer tissue samples. There are many safer preservative ingredients that can be used.  

PHTHALATES

  • They help perfume stick to skin (plus your lotions), as well as eyelash adhesive, nail polish and cosmetics. 
  • That’s bad news, because phthalates have been shown to be pretty significant endocrine disruptors—in some cases facilitating early puberty in girls and boys, and reduced sperm count in men. 
  • Companies are not required to disclose the ingredients in the word “fragrance”, which could be hundreds of different ingredients, a main one being phthalates. 

SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES

  • Anything that is a synthetic fragrance should always raise a red flag. 
  • These are made up of hundreds of different ingredients not listed on the label, so you are never sure what you are actually being exposed to.

By taking this into consideration the next time you are shopping for beauty products, it is really important to read the ingredient list. Your beauty products should be made with pure, safe and beneficial ingredients to help you get a clean beauty routine!

Countertime Regimen Set

"I had a drawer full of makeup that I had no idea how to use. "

I kept buying stuff in the hopes that it would make me feel better about the way I looked.  One session with Kendall taught me so much. She showed me how to make my eyes look bigger and brighter without looking overdone.  She taught me how to bring out my cheekbones and play up my best features.  I am almost 60 and now when I apply my makeup, using the techniques that Kendall taught me, people say I look better than I have in years and I don’t look “made up.”  I now know how to use makeup to enhance my features and I feel much more confident about how I present myself in the world.

"I had never had a makeup consultation in my life and Kendall made it look so easy!"

"She put me at ease and explained each step. She also made the experience fun and gave me tips I now use everyday as a teacher, since I don’t have extra time each morning to spend on makeup. I found her style to be fresh and realistic, especially for a busy mom and teacher like myself. She answered all my questions and gave me great ideas for how to use makeup each day.”

"Kendall’s make-up artistry is truly magical!"

"What an amazing difference in how I looked and felt after she applied her touch. One of the most important benefits of working with Kendall is she is so good at creating a process that is unique to my ‘mature’ skin, face and lifestyle while being practical for me to utilize daily. I feel so confident now that I have a routine that really works for me. Thank you Kendall!”
