I'm trying out a shimmery eye and a watercolor cheek in today's le no makeup look tutorial.



I frequently get requests to share what makeup brushes I use. The brushes I've collected over the years had been from all different collections and they were starting to get old. Osmosis sent me their entire makeup brush line to use and review for you. The brushes are very high quality and are all available on Amazon luxury. I've been using the brushes for a few weeks now and am very impressed with their quality. Each brush has a specific job and does it well.





Kabuki Brush Small but mighty, this brush delivers medium to full coverage with a soft and luscious dome-shaped head that’s compact enough to travel with you anywhere you go! Because of its fullness, a little bit of product goes a long way with this brush, start small and build up as necessary.



Base Brush This flat top, synthetic vegan brush serves as the perfect partner to either your mineral powder and liquid Base products to promote seamless application with generous coverage in one easy step.




Dome Powder Brush The full, rounded shape of this brush head makes it your go-to makeup multi-tasker. Touch up a light layer of base with the outer sides, or softly contour by sweeping on blush or bronzer using the tip of the brush.



Full Face Brush Luxurious and plush, this mega brush was designed for the perfect even light application of pressed and loose powders, illuminators, and bronzers. Its size also makes it a wonderful blending tool.



Large Accent Brush Use this large duo fiber brush to apply soft layers of liquid or powder foundation with ease, or create texture on the face with this ultimate blending tool. This hybrid brush has both synthetic and animal hair making it the perfect tool for a lightweight, airbrushed application for liquid, cream, and powder formulations.



Medium Accent Brush This hybrid brush has both synthetic and animal hair making it the perfect tool for a lightweight, airbrushed, application of liquid, cream, and powder formulations. With a medium sized head this brush is ideal for applying and blending blushes, bronzer, and highlighting.



Small Accent Brush This hybrid brush is made of both synthetic and animal hair, making it the perfect tool for a lightweight, airbrushed application of liquid, cream and powder formulations. Its tapered tip is ideal for pin-point concealing, setting powder to small areas and applying and blending color on the lids.



Angled Blush Brush Perfectly designed for precise blush, contour, and highlighter application, this brush flaunts dense bristles that are ideal for blending as you apply.



Blender Brush This full and fluffy brush head serves as a universal blending tool for any look. Ideal for both creamy and powder formulations, this go-to brush helps smudge eye looks, buff out creases or lines, and blend precise areas.

Osmosis Skincare Contour Shadow Brush

Contour Shadow Brush Effortlessly add dimension and definition to your eye look with the pencil-like shape of this brush head that caters to both precision and blending.



Crease Brush While this brush is optimal for applying and blending shadow in the crease to create dimension and contour, its soft and versatile brush head can also be used for the full lid or precision highlighting.



Concealer Brush With minimal product absorption, this is the perfect tool to achieve a smooth application in small, precise areas of the face such as under the eyes, sides of the nose, or pinpoint concealing.



Foundation Brush This flat-faced, synthetic brush will deliver smooth application of liquid base products with no absorption so you can achieve a flawless finish.
Eyeliner/ Brow Brush This dual-ended brush is a must-have for your makeup bag. Use it to line the lips, eyes, or brows to create a clean, put-together look in a flash.



Oval Shadow Brush Designed to help you effortlessly apply eye shadow like a pro, its flat, oval-shaped brush head adds versatility to your makeup game. Sweep a base shadow over the full lid, contour the crease, or add highlights to the brow bone or lower lash line.



Retractable Lip Brush This lip brush is compact and retractable for convenient, effortless application anywhere! Its soft, synthetic bristles deliver even color distribution and promote precision-lining and contouring for a full, non-feathering look.



You could most likely create this look with the makeup you already have. For those of you who would like to know what I use in this video I am linking the makeup below:

Comment of the Week
Unknown writes, "Hi, Jennifer! I was listening to a podcast about anxiety with my husband last night. He's a counselor and I have a business helping families simplify at home, so this is a topic we both share a great interest in. The discussion included ways to take your body from the sympathetic state (fight or flight) to a more relaxed parasympathetic state. One of the ways was through listening to music with seventy beats per minute, such as classical music. In fact, studies show that your heart will beat in time with classical music! It's that fascinating?! It made me think of your classical music advocacy. :) "

Unknown, that is fascinating! I knew that Classical music was calming and a stress reducer for me but it's fun to hear the science behind it too. I will mention your comment in an upcoming video I am doing on stress. Thank you!

I hope you enjoyed today's makeup look. I would love to hear any makeup tips you have been enjoying this spring. I'll see you soon!

Spring is here and I have enjoyed switching up my makeup routine recently. I like to move to tinted moisturizers and BB or CC creams in the spring/ summer seasons as they are lighter than the heavier foundations I use in the fall/ winter.



I've been testing the Osmosis makeup line, which is available on Amazon luxury and really like it. Their mineral makeup is gluten and paraben free.


I have particularly enjoyed using their CC cream, which blends and melts into the skin. It's great! I also love their highlighter, which I have been using on top of my cheek bones to give my skin a glowy look for spring.



Here is more information on the makeup. The italicized words are the descriptions from Osmosis and my take follows.

Osmosis cc cream in warm Osmosis Colour CC Cream helps you achieve a flawless look without caking on your makeup. UV filters help prevent sun damage while simultaneously diffusing discoloration. Its lightweight, creamy formula features natural color-correcting mineral pigments to even your complexion. This CC cream is great and so easy to use. I find it to be very moisturizing. This gives very light coverage. I have linked my color from Amazon above, but you can also check out the whole range on Osmosis' website.

translucent finishing powder Finishing Powder is a colorless mineral powder to set makeup and help ensure a flawless. Gluten and parabenFree, Talc-free and full of antioxidants for an all-natural approach to mineral makeup. This is a lovely mineral finishing powder.

eye shadow trio in spice berry A compact trio of shimmering eye shadows for easy contouring of the eyes. I chose this to compliment my green eyes and I really like the colors.

eye pencil in brown A creamy eye pencil that is quick-drying, smudge proof, and water resistant for beautiful long lasting wear. This Mechanical Eye Pencil glides on smooth with a bold color variety of colors. I like that this pencil is moisturizing and doesn't dry out.

curling mascara in black Osmosis Curling Mascara utilizes a curved Cobra head brush to deliver a natural curl to the lashes. This mascara is great. I love the curling wand! I would love to see this in burgundy, however.

bronzer in South Beach Osmosis Bronzer is perfect for contouring cheeks, nose, and eyes. Add bronzer to center of eyelid to bring out green, blue or light eye colors. Although I didn't do this in the video, I have been trying the bronzer on my eyelids and it looks great! A fun tip.



highlighting quad Four luminous hues in one convenient palette to light up your complexion. Brilliant and lustrous with vitamin E and Moringa Seed Oil for nourishing benefits. Swirl a blend of all 4 shades or choose individual colors for different areas to provide a luminous glow. This is an excellent highlighter and I like that you have the option to use one color or blend combinations. It provides a very natural hue.

TIP: Each shade of the palette may be used individually.

• BRONZE – Use as a shimmery bronzer or to add a glow to the skin

• ROSE – A pretty, pink poppy blush, use on lower lip to make it appear larger

• PEARL – Apply in the inner corner of the eyes to make them appear brighter, then blend at the top of the cupid’s bow for an enhanced, larger lip

• GOLD – Place in the center of the lid to make the eyes appear larger

blush in summer rose Osmosis Blush is a highly pigmented, all-natural Mineral Makeup offered in a wide range of colors. Gluten and paraben free. I love this pretty blush color and it lasts well on the cheeks.

lip gloss in bare moderate shine Lip Gloss with a sheer tint of color to add a splash of life to the lips for a natural look. Gluten and paraben free. This shade provides a pretty peach color.

On my nails: Londontown Teatime (use code JenniferS for 25% off)

On today's Natural Home with Jennifer, I'm doing a le no makeup look tutorial using mostly natural and organic makeup. Today, I'm featuring Elina organics makeup.



Elina Organics makeup products are 100% natural, contain Pearl Powder and Zinc Oxide for all day sun protection. Products are free of Talc and other toxic chemicals. They contain very minimal ingredients, making it perfect for even the most sensitive complexion.

The makeup will not accentuate or clog your pores. It will infuse your skin with skin nourishing and protecting amino acids, vitamins, and probiotics. You are able to achieve different levels of coverage from almost translucent to complete concealing.

Here are links to the makeup used:





Sun Shelter tinted moisturizer, crushed pearl powder foundation (I used medium), anti-wrinkle eyeshadow in espresso, anti-wrinkle eyeshadow in raspberry latte, and all natural mascara.



The tinted moisturizer goes on sheer, but still has great coverage. It feels light on the skin and moisturizes well. It is truly the star of the show.

I love the eyeshadows too. They start off as a cream and finish as a powder and last all day. I even used them without applying primer first and they last all day without creasing. The crushed pearl powder foundation works beautifully and I was very pleasantly surprised by the mascara. All in all, this is an excellent organic makeup line.

Elina organics also sent me the natural lash growth serum with peptides, which reportedly aides in lash growth. I haven't used this long enough to comment on whether or not it works. I can come back and let you know.

Other makeup used in the video (not organic)
bareMinerals concealer
Mac mineralize blush in warm soul
bareMinerals lipgloss in hype (I use this over the Elina organics lip color, which is too light for me)

I hope you enjoy the tutorial in today's video. If you have any requests for future Natural Home with Jennifer videos, please let me know. If you have a great natural and organic makeup line you use, please share in the comments. Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you on Monday.

BH Lip palette in "nude lips" This is an affordable lip palette that I've enjoyed using for the past year. The colors do not have long staying power, but when I apply them with a brush on dry lips, they tend to stay on longer.

Comment of the Week
On Monday's Switching to All-Natural Products Cleaning Products video, A Lovely Life with Luna writes, "I am always happy to see when someone "goes natural"! I am an advocate for green cleaning, as someone diagnosed with asthma many years ago, I probably only have an attack 2-3 times per year, and I do attribute that to healthy cleaning products (in part)

I'm also a nurse that works in hospital setting with majority of patients over the age of 55. I have noticed (amongst many trends) a trend of female patients over the age of 55 to 60 yrs that women have MANY more complications of the lungs, whether that be COPD,emphysema, small nodules and cysts, and atelectasis than my male patients. I'd say the ratio of women to men with pulmonary complications is probably 6-8:1. On a side note I'm also noticing older women with a lot of liver and renal cysts, nodules, and just general anomalies- and these are organs that filter and excrete. Just food for thought."

Hi Luna, the study on the damaging effects of traditional cleaning products was a real eye-opener for me. And your observation on the declining health of older women regarding lung function is truly interesting. Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm excited to switch to more natural cleaning products now to prevent future health problems.

Thank you to everyone for watching today's makeup tutorial. I hope you enjoyed it! I'll see you tomorrow for my first natural product review on Natural Home with Jennifer.
