Make Over YOUR make-up

95% of beauty packaging is thrown out after just one use, and only 14% of plastic makes it to a recycling centre.

Admittedly, this area of beauty is a work in progress, but plastic-free make-up is a growing trend. I’m a fan of Ethique’s plastic-free lipsticks, £15, which feature natural pigments like mica, and cute home-compostable tubes. Lush is also leading the charge with its new Naked Mascara, £10, a solid block formula made from butters and waxes. To use it, wet one of the plastic-free mascara wands (there are three), wiggle it into the balm to pick up pigment, then comb it through your lashes. It takes a bit of building up but I’m impressed by how much I like the finished effect. It’s a great daytime mascara, giving a pretty, fluttery look with no crispy feel. This is natural beauty at its best.
