Founder of Blades Natural Beauty<\/a>, Jessa Blades is a natural makeup artist who works on photo shoots and fashion shows, helps brides looks their best on their big day\u00a0and provides natural beauty consultation to a variety of clientele in New York City.\u00a0 <\/span>Last month she worked with celebrity makeup artist, Rose-Marie Swift <\/a>at Fashion Week and is featured this month in Glamour magazine\u2019s 70th<\/sup> anniversary issue<\/a> along with 69 other female eco-achievers.\u00a0 She also works with Teens Turning Green <\/a>and Project Green Prom<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She believes we don\u2019t have to sacrifice health for beauty and is intimately in-the-know about products that perform, yet won\u2019t pollute our bodies.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cPeople are outraged when it comes to animal testing for cosmetics and I\u2019m<\/em><\/strong> against it, but what about human testing?\u00a0 <\/span>Companies have been testing their products on women for years!!<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>
\nI recently spoke with Jessa and we talked all things natural\/organic beauty.\u00a0 We discussed conventional vs. natural\/organic products in terms of performance,\u00a0what greenwashing means in terms of beauty products and we both agree that a \u201cgreen\u201d beauty product should indicate what\u2019s inside, not just a recycled\/recycleable container (which by the way, is a big problem and presents even more confusion for consumers).\u00a0 She also shared some of her all-time favorite products as well as her top picks for Spring\u2026.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

\nJessa\u2019s Must-Have Natural Beauty Buys For Spring:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n1).<\/strong> Mod Skin Labs Samurai Scrub<\/a><\/strong>: With things like indoor heating and cold winds, winter leaves skin dehydrated.\u00a0 <\/span>Exfoliation is so important.\u00a0 <\/span>This scrub will slough off dry winter skin with its nice exfoliating action and leaves skin hydrated, not stripped of moisture.\u00a0($30)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2).<\/strong> 100% Pure Peach Pigmented Brightening Concealer<\/a><\/strong>: This is a great concealer and is the natural alternative to the YSL Touche Eclat concealer pen.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s in an easy-to-apply (and sanitary) pen and is great to cover up spots.\u00a0($21)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3).<\/strong> Dr. Haushka Translucent Bronze Concentrate<\/a><\/strong>: When this first comes out of the pump you\u2019ll think its much too dark, but I rub a bit together with my fingers and dab directly onto cheeks to give a sun-touched look.\u00a0 <\/span>You can also mix this with a moisturizer to thin it out a bit or use one of my other favorite products, Dr. Haushka Toned Day Cream<\/a> which will give nice all-over sheer color.\u00a0 ($40)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n4).<\/strong> 100% Pure Cranberry Glow Lip & Cheek Tint<\/a>: <\/strong>This looks really dark in the package, but its very sheer when applied and provides the right amount of rosy flush to cheeks.\u00a0 <\/span>Glide over lips instead of gloss or lipstick.\u00a0 <\/span>Throw it in your bag and re-apply as necessary. ($15)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

5).<\/strong> RMS Beauty<\/strong> Living Luminizer<\/strong><\/a>: I love this product!\u00a0 <\/span>It melts easily into skin and provides instant illumination.\u00a0 <\/span>I apply this on cheekbones, on eyelids (if I\u2019m doing a really neutral look), under the brow, on the bridge of the nose, in the tear duct area to really light up the eyes or in special circumstances when my clients haven\u2019t had enough sleep, I\u2019ll mix this with RMS Beauty Un-cover concealer and apply under eyes to really wake them up.\u00a0($38)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
