While holding down a job in corporate America, Au Naturale founder Ashley, noticed that her skin was constantly breaking out from toxins and fillers from the products she wore daily.
Determined to find a better way, she began mixing organic oils and pigments in her blender at home.
After some encouragement from business mentors, Au Naturale was born. All of it 100% natural, gluten free, cruelty free, vegan and formulated with organic ingredients like meadowfoam, lavender and castor oil.
Encouraging women to "Live less out of habit, and more out of intent.", her products help us to do just that. #cleanbeautyrevolution
I haven't tried the entire line, but I have found myself using two of her products almost daily...
The Organic Creme Highlighter Stick and the Creme Shadow in Addiction.
Having tried so many creme sticks in my time, I was a bit skeptical when I first received the Organic Creme Highlighter in my Choosy Chick haul. I was quickly proven wrong!
Impeccably formulated, this luxurious illuminator kisses the skin with a dewey glow that is both subtle and beautiful. Apply gently along the bridge of the nose and brows, across the center of the forehead and over the chin, to catch and reflect your best light possible. I even added it to my décoletté when performing on stage, to cast a gorgeous glow there as well.
Creme shadows can be tricky. If they are too buttery, then can easily crease and be absorbed by the skin--causing you to lose your look entirely. However, I love using creme shadows on photoshoots--especially editorial shoots because they bounce light beautifully and create a dewey finish to the eyes.
The Creme Shadow in Addiction was a delightful surprise! It glides on well as a creme liner and/or buffs in beautifully as a contour color for any eye-catching look. It wears well with, or without a primer base, and lasts nearly all day.
The deep antique gold reads as a rich, earthy green --gorgeous on any eye color.
Since I have enjoyed these so much personally, I have added these to my pro kit as well! I think I will be trying the Anywhere Creme Blush Stick in Grapefruit and Swipe On Essential Eye Pencil in Deep Sea next.
