Testimonial: Titanium Dioxide Free Makeup

A recent TESTIMONIAL about our amazing natural makeup line, Christopher Drummond Beauty

I just received my products and I wanted to thank you for your excellent service. I have had terrible acne and rashes on my face for the past year and couldn't find the cause until I started researching how makeup with titanium dioxide and bismuth can be frequent irritants and clog pores. I am thrilled to finally find safe makeup without these ingredients. I love your sateen blush and foundation and I am going to try more of your wonderful products.

Preventing Mascara From Smudging: "Lash Crash"

Lash tips from Christopher Drummond of Christopher Drummond Beauty
The best way to prevent mascara smudging is to use a mascara that doesn't smudge.. That being said, find a mascara you like (popular favorites are Cover Girl Lash Blast,and Maybellene Great Lash)Unfortunately, there are no "natural" mascaras that don't smudge. Trust me. I don't recommend waterproof mascara for every day.

More tips on preventing a "Lash Crash":

Give yourself credit: When applying mascara, use a credit card or business card to act as a shield between your lashes and your lids. Any slip-ups will go on the card instead of you.

Soak it in: After applying eye cream or foundation around the eye area, give the product a chance to soak into the skin before applying your mascara. Skin that's too hydrated can attract smudges.

Powder room: Apply a light dusting of powder around your eyes to help suppress oil, like Benefit Bluff Dust ($22). Bonus? The yellow tone of the powder helps counteract red tones.

Towel it off: Thin, even coats of mascara are one of the simplest ways to prevent mascara from making a downward slide. To avoid clumpy, clustered lashes, just run the wand over a tissue to create a light-on-the-product coating. Let each layer dry completely before applying the next.

Get back to your roots: Sweep on mascara from root to tip, tapering off at the ends. Less product on the tips can help prevent inadvertent slips onto the skin.
You're in the clear: Use a clear coat of mascara for the finishing touch. This extra step acts similarly to a hair gloss, locking in color and protecting your lashes. Once your mascara has fully dried, try Rimmel Style & Shine Natural Lash & Brow Mascara in Clear ($5.50).

Titanium Dioxide in Cosmetics: Good or Bad?

Q:
Is Christopher Drummond Beautyclear of these toxins such as titanium dioxide? I believe your foundation is pure, but I'm concerned that you are offering products with this ingredient in them. Why do you contain Titanium Dioxide in some of your products? Thanks! Ella

Hi Ella:
We certainly would not want you to order any product from us that does not meet your criteria as safe and effective.
Please note that Titanium Dioxide is not a “toxin”; it is suspected of causing irritation in the lungs. Since there has been some controversy concerning the possible effects of using Titanium Dioxide directly on the face, we do not use it in our face powders. To date, we do not know of any other company who has taken this precaution to minimize the risk of adverse effects to customers.

However when using products with color, it is needed to add adhesion to the product. Otherwise, the product will not stay on long.
We do have Titanium Dioxide-free cosmetics such as blushes that work wonderfully on the eyes as well.
We take every precaution to ensure that we do not use any known toxic or harmful ingredients in our products. It is important to note that none of our ingredients are over a “3” for toxicity according to the Cosmetics Database. We suggest going to this website to learn more about cosmetic ingredients and you will see that none of our ingredients used are toxic or harmful. This is a great resource for people who are very concerned about ingredients. http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/

As noted on our website, we are members of the “Campaign for Safe Cosmetics”. We are one of very few companies that are endorsed by this campaign that promises safety in all ingredients we use. http://www.safecosmetics.org/. See our name on the website HERE
We thank you for your inquiry.
Christopher Drummond Beauty
