Don't you just love your vanity makeup kits with brilliant, shimmery shades of eyeshadows or pop of fun colours like neon pinks, corals or fiery reds? Yes, we use these shades to look our glamorous best. However, it's not too late to get a little 'health and environment conscious' even with cosmetics.

Natural cosmetics contain organic vegetable and essential oils. Vegetable oil comes with essential fatty acids, vitamins and carry a natural and moisturising texture. Try switching your haircare and skincare products to the organic type as these have lesser chances of any harsh reactions.

You could find organic beauty products in India with brands like Soul Tree and Forest Essentials. Bridal and fashion makeup artist Hifza Kazi says that these brands are good options for this kind of makeup. Forest Essentials could be a pick for beauty-care products and not makeup, as they don't have a range yet where as Soul Tree is free of lead and soothes the eyes, keeping away from any burning sensation.Their lipsticks too contain no synthetic smell and have ghee instead.
