There is huge value in choosing products that support your skin and hair without unnecessary harshness. Over time, I’ve found myself naturally drawn to clean, vegan, and conscious beauty. It’s gentler on the skin and hair, and far more aligned with an approach to beauty that is soft, simple and effortless.

If you’re exploring a cleaner routine or preparing for your wedding and want a look that feels polished yet natural, this guide is the perfect place to begin.

What Clean Vegan Makeup Really Means

The language used around beauty can sometimes be confusing — clean, vegan, non-toxic, cruelty-free — but conscious beauty doesn’t need to be overwhelming. At its core, it’s about choosing products that are good for your skin and wellbeing.

Here’s how I break it down:

Clean: Gentle, uncomplicated ingredients that nourish rather than irritate.
Vegan: Free from animal-derived ingredients.
Cruelty-free: No animal testing.

Clean and vegan makeup suits anyone who loves a natural finish, struggles with sensitivity, or wants makeup that feels breathable and comfortable throughout the day, whilst being kind to their skin. I’m always drawn to textures that blend easily, sit perfectly on the skin, and enhance your natural features without masking them.

If you’d like a step-by-step, guided approach to natural makeup, my Natural Makeup Guide shares everything from skincare prep to creating a soft everyday look.

A Conscious Approach to Bridal Haircare

Bridal haircare doesn’t require an intense routine or lots of products. In fact, a gentler approach often leads to healthier, shinier, more manageable hair on the day itself.

Some of the advice I regularly share with my brides:

Choose gentle formulas. Sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners are a simple way to maintain cared-for hair.
Support your scalp. A healthy scalp leads to stronger, smoother hair.
Avoid heavy styling products close to the wedding as they can create build-up and weigh down the hair.
Start early. A simple routine, introduced a few weeks before the wedding, makes a noticeable difference.

For brides wanting personalised support, my hair and makeup lessons are a lovely way to prepare and help you feel fully confident in the lead-up to the day.

My Favourite Clean Beauty Brands

I choose products carefully, as they need to feel gentle, perform well, and complement a natural, understated style. These are the brands I personally use and regularly recommend:

ILIA Beauty

Lightweight, modern formulas by ILIA Beauty are designed to support skin health. Their base and lip products give a soft, natural finish.

RMS Beauty

Creamy, radiant textures that blend seamlessly into the skin. RMS Beauty is perfect for dewy bridal looks or everyday glow.

A wonderful option for sensitive skin. Pai’s gentle skincare creates a calm, hydrated base for natural makeup.
