When it comes to fashion, one of the most important things in a persons morning routine can be their makeup. It helps us look more alive when we have stayed up too late doing homework and makes us look more like the celebrities that we see on social media. But what is your makeup doing to the environment and the world? Here are a few brands that are not only eco-friendly but also do something for the world itself.
