Axiology
Who says you can’t play with your makeup? Axiology’s Lip Crayon is a great way to create an instant pout (no lip liner required!).

Graydon
Give your inner glow a little external shine with Graydon Face Glow. Used alone as a moisturizer or as a primer for makeup, Face Glow’s matte shimmer provides illumination to your visage and helps to blur some of those sneaky post-baby skin flare-ups. Plus, it’s got all the good things — like sea buckthorn, spirulina, and raspberry — that skin adores! Find it on graydonskincare.com.
Pacifica
Gotta love an all-natural lash extender! Pacifica’s Dream Big Mascara is the perfect way to liven up those tired new mama eyes. Swipe on this baby with its dual-length brush: twist once for length and twist again for building, and let those natural plant fibres plump up those lashes. (Plus, there are unicorns on the tube. UNICORNS, my friends!) 100% vegan, and cruelty-free. Find it on pacificabeauty.com.
Fat and the Moon
A lipstick that lasts and can be applied with a simple swipe of your fingertip? Enter Fat and the Moon’s Lip Paint. Made with simple, organic ingredients, Fat and the Moon knows how to whip up some makeup magic with a little sunflower oil, vitamin E, iron oxide, and beeswax (plus, we’re sure there’s a little magic spell or two in there as well!). Got a spare second? Why not dab on a little Beam! This light, silky, mineral-based glimmer can be applied anywhere you want extra shine and is made with tree-based Madrone spirit medicine, purported to aid in self-connection regardless of personal circumstance. Find it on fatandthemoon.com.
