Makeup That You Can Feel Good About Putting On Your Face

They say knowledge is power, and that certainly seems to be the case for many of us as we navigate the aisles of the grocery store these days. "Non-GMO," "locally-sourced," "farm-raised"the labels with quality standards are abundant, making it almost impossible for you not to feel guilty reaching for the non-organic chicken that's a few dollars cheaper. But while many of us have become consumed (see what we did there?) with the origin of what we are putting into our bodies, there's been a slower shift in awareness for what we put onto our bodies. Nevertheless, a growing number of beauty companiesfrom smaller indie brands to bigger corporate-owned namesare emphasizing the value of good-for-you ingredients found in their products. Here, we're sharing 5 makeup must-haves you can find on birchbox.com that don't just enhance what's on the surface, but also treat what's underneath to beautify from the inside out.
