What do you get when you blend natural, organic, mineral makeup with the high-fashion highly pigmented hues you crave? An afterglow, of course! Created by Kristin Adams, a naturalist and artist who “believes that the ritual and transformative power of cosmetics are indeed a daily form of personal art and expression,” Afterglow Mineral Cosmetics offers a high-performance, high-quality, never-tested-on-bunnies, and mostly vegan variety of products that are easy on your skin and on animals.

Perfect for sensitive skin, Afterglow’s myriad mineral-based cosmetics are gluten, Paraben, talc, and bismuth oxychloride free. What’s this business about bismuth, you ask? You know how some types of mineral makeup can sometimes make you itch and break out? Blame the bismuth.

Afterglow’s vegan collection of foundations, powders, blushes, bronzers, eye shadows, mascaras, and eyeliners are guaranteed not to crease, cake, or flake out on you.
Because Afterglow is approved by PETA for leaving animal testing out of its beauty regimen, we’re proud to present Afterglow founder Kristin Adams with our Trail-Blazer Award.
