January is commonly known on social media annually as ‘Veganuary’ where people from all around the world attempt to follow a completely Vegan lifestyle (and generally try to eat better and healthier overall, which in turn, reflects in how your skin looks) during the whole month of January – most likely after a very indulgent Christmas and New Year! The majority of people just keep this event to be what they consume but the most adventurous go the whole way and carry this over to personal and everyday items too. So I thought, as January is finally drawing to a close, what better way than to run through the best Vegan makeup items that Dermacare Direct have to offer...
How Can Products Be Vegan?
Vegan-friendly cosmetics are completely free of any animal by-products, such as beeswax, lanolin and milk.
Colorescience Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy SPF35
A brilliant product to start the blog with... A product that brightens under the eyes, improves the appearance of dark circles and puffiness PLUS contains sun protection all in the formula? What more could you want. It’s a best seller and loved by everyone at Dermacare Direct for a reason! It feels more like an eye treatment rather than it ‘just’ being makeup. I really love the cooling, metal applicator as it always helps to wake my tired eyes up in the morning and after a few minutes, my eyes appear well-rested and less puffy. Whilst many of us religiously apply sunscreen every day on our faces, we often forget about our thin, delicate eye area but not any longer with this find. Available in 4 shades so you are bound to find the perfect fit for you.
Revitalash Hi-Def Tinted Brow Gel
A true, hidden gem in my opinion! This unisex setting gel comes in a universal, clear shade for those wanting something to just tame hair; but also shades soft brown and dark brown depending on your hair colouring or you could even choose from how defined you’d like your brows to be. Simply brush the gel through your brow hair and watch the tinted shades transfer your eyebrows – as if you’d just been to a salon and had a fresh tint every day! A really easy way to achieve fuller, bolder eyebrows without having to spend lots of time drawing them on and filling in sparse areas. If you are in need of a little root touch up on top too, you could always use this for that!
Colorescience Mineral Corrector Palette SPF20
Imperfections? Blemishes? Dark spots? Sound familiar? Camouflage, conceal, protect and brighten all in one with Colorescience Mineral Corrector Palette with added SPF20. A makeup artist's essential mineral makeup palette, the colour correcting palette casts a spell on any imperfection with five available skin-neutralising shades. If easy, no-fuss is what you’re after and you’d rather condense 5 products into 1 travel-friendly palette then take a look at this. It can be used all over the complexion for a whole host of skin complaints but you could also use it as a gorgeous, neutral eyeshadow palette to get even more use out of it!
Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Colour Balm SPF50
Another Colorescience winner because quite frankly none of their products have disappointed me and it helps when the whole brand is Vegan too! These creamy Colour Balm’s are new and don’t stay on the shelves for long. Available in three beautiful shades which give you a soft, matte finish (bronze, blush and berry) there is definitely one to suit everybody. Swipe onto eyelids, lips and cheeks until you have our desired intensity; or for something really subtle use your fingertips or a makeup brush to apply. Bronze is personally my favourite for an all year round, sun-kissed glow. Blush looks really pretty too for a muted, rosy look.
Carry Veganuary on past January and discover how amazing all these products listed and their brands are. Or even if you don’t, Vegan products are no less effective than their non-vegan counterparts and therefore work and look just as good!
