Eye shadow
Concrete Rose Artistry's eye shadows won't offend your skin or your pocketbook. The mineral makeup is made paraben-free, which means you won't find talc, bismuth, preservatives, fragrance or oil in any of the 300-plus hues. And at just $5 each, you can splurge on fun shades such as green apple and raspberry. "When I would go shopping, I could never find the colors I was looking for at prices I could afford," explains creator Coya Evans. So the 24-year-old taught herself online how to blend mica with a medley of other minerals to make the shadows. It was important for Evans to use all-natural ingredients because she suffers from oily skin prone to breakouts. "I hope I can inspire others," Evans says. "I was going to school to be a physical therapist, but what I really wanted to do was be in the beauty industry. So I took this chance, and now it's my career." etsy.com/shop/concreteroseartistry
