Natural grooming brushes for the eco belle

To be an eco beauty you don’t need to scrimp on the practical. We’ve discovered a new range of tools and hair brushes that will help you apply your makeup and give your skin the perfect glow. Jen Marsden writes.

Do you worry that you have to use your fingers to apply makeup in order to be an eco fashionista who likes to keep up appearances? No more.

Fresh from Paris Presents, Eco Tools offers grooming products that allow you to apply your natural, eco-considerate blusher and the sparkly eye look easily, without passing bacteria from your fingers to your face.

Rather than made from the usual not-so-fantastic plastic brushes on offer, the attractive range of Eco Tools are constructed from renewable resources such as bamboo, as well as cruelty-free taklon bristles and recycled or recyclable textiles, with reusable pouches for the packaging.

You can choose from a Powder Brush (£8.49), a Blush Brush (£7.99), Foundation Brush (£5.99), Eye Shading Brush (£3.99), Eyeliner Brush (£3.99), Lash and Brow Groomer (£3.99), 6 Pack of Bamboo Mini Brushes (£4.99), 2 Pack of Bamboo Powder Puffs (£2.49) or an all inclusive 6 Piece Brush Set (£14.99).
They are also available on a high street near you, through Tesco and Superdrug as well as OneStopBeauty.co.uk. What’s more, 1% from every sale is donated to 1% For the Planet.

If you’re also looking for a hair brush to detangle your natural locks, then this month why not go for an  Eco Brush hairbrush – made from fast growing bamboo.  There are five brushes to choose from for different hair types and needs, such as the mini cushion brush that is perfectly sized for your handbag and for a scalp massage on the move, or the heat retainer radial that will help dry your hair faster.

Eco Brush utilise both natural bamboo pins or natural bristle, as well as the not-so-green synthetic nylon fibres. Prices start from an affordable £4, and are available from Tesco.

We also love the eco har brushes available from ethical chic Cebra.
