A couple of months ago I was approached by Ana from the beauty and lifestyle (with an eco-friendly twist) blog Ana Goes Green, who asked if I would mind answering some questions on natural and organic make-up and on my work as a Make-up Artist.
 A product that surely needs very little introduction, Living Lumizer is a real cult favourite and one of the few organic make-up products which has made it big time – Make-up Artists Kenneth Soh and Alice Lane are both big fans as are Miranda Kerr and Gisele!  If cleaning and green-ing up your make-up bag was one of your New Years resolutions then this post is just for you, for natural beauty line Benecos have launched a LipstickAmnesty!  Occasionally a product comes along which completely and unexpectedly blows your mind and potentially revolutionises your approach to skincare. One such product was kindly set to me in Mid-November and on first use the phrase OH MY GOODNESS (loudly, hence the capitals) was repeated numerous time to anyone who would listen – including the cat!  In a change to my usual formulation for picking posts from the vault (i.e. finding the oldest), I decided that I would repost a post which I published in the middle of last year. Although relatively recent, I felt that January was the perfect time too give it another airing – I hope you don’t […]  For the first time in it’s 16 year history, Pantone have for the first time chosen two shades to carry the accolade of being named PANTONE Colour of the Year 2016; Rose Quartz and Serenity… A harmonious pairing of inviting shades that embody a mindset of tranquility and inner peace. loading

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your professional and personal knowledge and experience. Its always a real treat to read a new post. I made a big transition of changing my makeup bag to all natural green products (which was a long and continues journey of trial and era) and your blog has and still is a great inspiration.
There is one big issue that I haven't figured yet and would love your help and recommendation is finding a eyeliner pencil that wont smear and bleed all over. I have oily lids (bummer) and every single brand I've tried leaves me with in seconds with messy panda eyes. Even when only applied to upper lash (I've tried Antonym Cosmetics, Zuzu Luxe, Jane Iradle to name a few).
I've also tried dabbing powder on it to stop the bleeding, under eye concealer, finishing powder nothing seems to work. Its really frustrating and embarrassing to stop by the mirror and see that you have huge black circles smeared all over the place and that you probably walked like this all day :-(
I'd really love your advice and and help on the matter,
Thanks and looking forward to hear from you,
best wishes,
Natalie.
Hi Natalie
Thanks for your lovely comments.
Eyeliner pencils can be a real pain if you have oily lids, have you tried using an eyeshadow to line your eyes? I have found this works in most cases.
If you drop me an email (info@organicmakeupartist.co.uk) I will be able to answer your question fully and hopefully help you find a suitable liner pencil.
All the best
