MAKEUP — SAFE PICKS

Makeup we'd actually let near your face.

A lighter check than our full case files — no deep ingredient breakdown, but every pick here is screened for common allergens, comedogenic red flags, and formulation transparency before it makes the list.

This section works differently from our skincare case files. Skincare gets a full ingredient-by-ingredient verdict; makeup picks here get a quicker safety and transparency screen — good for browsing, not a substitute for checking your own sensitivities. Some links may be affiliate links.
