All links are Amazon Associates links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Au Naturale Organic Cr\u00e8me Concealer in Oaxaca &#8211; Vegan Cream Concealer | Made in USA. Normally I use the Tulum color but so also use this one that\u2019s one shade lighter. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HunfNL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HunfNL<\/a> (Amazon associates link).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ecotools makeup brushes. I didn\u2019t show many of them in the video but that\u2019s only because these brushes have lasted 20 years and the handles look \u201cwell loved\u201d so I was embarrassed to show them on camera. But they work great! <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3SsfUo9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3SsfUo9<\/a> (Amazon associates link). The slanted brush in this set is what I use for my eyebrows and eyeliner: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3uv7tj3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3uv7tj3<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I showed a different Au Natarale lip product in the video, but I also use this gloss: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47KdIwS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/47KdIwS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t the color I use, but I do use either translucent powder or powder foundation sparingly, such as this: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OeTd4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OeTd4m<\/a>. I use the Java shade for contouring and eyebrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other brand of makeup I use is Poofy Organics. It\u2019s not available on Amazon and I don\u2019t sell this product personally, but I recommend it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I almost never use eyeshadow but these cr\u00e8me shadows are so beautiful! <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3u50m0l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3u50m0l<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I only had those eyelash extensions for maybe a month or so and then removed them. Now I\u2019ve gone back to just using low-toxin mascara such as this one: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/493Z7NL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/493Z7NL<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3u2uDNh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <\/a>or<em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3u2uDNh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3u2uDNh<\/a>. I also use this Shu Uemura eyelash curler: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3S78SUM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3S78SUM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I want dramatic longer lashes, I use these DIY lash extensions, but only for a few hours and then I remove them because as I mentioned, the glue is toxic. But at least it isn\u2019t going directly on your eyelid like fake eyelash strip lashes do. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3vTfr5C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3vTfr5C<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I just found out that Poofy Organics makes a less toxic eyelash glue, so I\u2019m going to check that out. I\u2019m not an affiliate with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/index.php\/2020\/09\/05\/makeup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">non biased guide to non-toxic makeup with low heavy metals<\/a>. I don\u2019t sell any of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Tips (Not in the Video):<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look at any online makeup tutorials, especially if you aren\u2019t sure what shades of makeup to use for your skin color, try to find tutorials from people with appropriately the same shade of skin color as you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look up any tutorials for contouring, look for ones given by people with the same facial feature shapes as you are trying to contour. For example, the same jawline or nose shape or features (wide, long, nose hump\/ bump, etc.). There isn\u2019t just one way to contour; it really depends what you are trying to highlight or conceal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eye makeup is another one to try to watch someone with your eye shape or features, such as hooded eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have started to show signs of aging, makeup tips geared for that can also give great tips to avoid bringing more attention to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be wary of viral tips or hacks; they may be disastrous on you if your features are different than the ones in the videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I only discovered nose contouring after I filmed my tips video, and my mind is blown at the differences it can make, BUT only if you find the right techniques for your particular needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PLEASE FOLLOW my <a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/CleanGreenToxicantFree\/\">Facebook page<\/a><\/strong> <strong>for new posts and updates<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/CleanGreenToxicantFree\/\">https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/CleanGreenToxicantFree\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>***Thank you for visiting Clean Green Toxicant Free!
