Clean makeup: My picks

Featured: RMS Beauty, ILIA Beauty, MERIT Beauty

The global clean beauty market is expected to be worth $11.6 billion by 2027.

In 2021, clean beauty is far beyond “good for you ingredients.” Now, clean beauty brands are held accountable for their ingredient lists, packaging and overall carbon footprint.

I recently tried out a few makeup products from popular labels, including ILIA Beauty, RMS (one of the “original” clean makeup brands), and MERIT Beauty.

  1. ILIA balmy gloss tinted lip oil: 4/5 ⭐️

4. ILIA Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara: 4.5/5 ⭐️

The dual-ended wand of this mascara is designed to have the shorter side curl and create volume, and the longer bristles to lengthen and lift.
