Organic face paints are one well-known approach, as they are a smorgasbord of colors with no chemicals. Soft pastel and glitter, either biodegradable or merely whimsical, is fun for a fairy look. Not only does this give your makeup an appearance of magic, but it is also safe for the environment. Add a bit of creativity by decorating your skin with flowers, fruits, or even leaves.
Also, another striking eco-friendly option is to go with a skeleton look or Day of the Dead. To be safe, use charcoal-based makeup or homemade face paint made of simple natural ingredients such as cocoa powder and corn starch. They’re very gentle on the skin and a great base set of materials. Featuring bright seasonal flowers adorn your face with them and using natural dyes to add a touch of color, but with a sustainable twist on the traditional designs.
