Fresh, handmade cosmetics company Lush launched a new range of skincare-makeup that's supportive of the microbiome, formulated with 100% ethically sourced, cruelty-free ingredients, and sold in low-waste packaging that can be recycled at home. According to Lush, this new range delivers "makeup that multitasks so you don’t have to," encompassing everything from radiance-boosting primers to brightening tints.
Standouts from the skin-caring makeup range include Skinwear, a tinted moisturizer available in 12 shades to suit cool, neutral and warm undertones, and portable Beauty Balms in push-up sticks in a dozen different shades for concealing, contouring, and bronzing.
Across the range, Lush makes the most of trusted ingredients like soothing oatmeal decoction, moisturizing oils, fresh fruit extracts, and Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter.
