The Ultimate Gluten Free Makeup List

The Ultimate Gluten-Free Makeup List

For people with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, it’s important to switch to using gluten-free cosmetics. There is some debate as to whether gluten can be absorbed through the skin, but regardless cosmetics can accidentally become ingested. You know when you’re washing your face at night and you accidentally get water in your mouth (and all the makeup from your face)? Or when you end up eating half the lipstick from your lips accidentally? Me too.

I did A LOT of research on makeup brands that were 100% gluten-free. If a brand had a few products that contained gluten, or if their website didn’t explicitly say that they were 100% gluten-free they didn’t make the cut. Rest assured, you are safe from any gluten with all the brands listed below. I also added other claims from companies’ websites, so that no matter what your cosmetic standards are you can find a gluten-free brand perfect for you.

Afterglow cosmetics: Also, Cruelty-free, Vegan, paraben-free, soy-free, and uses fair trade ingredients.

Bite Beauty: All BITE’s products are made with food-grade ingredients and are infused with resveratrol.

Ecco Bella: Cruelty-free, eco-friendly, plant-based ingredients.

ELF cosmetics: Cruelty-free, hypoallergenic

Everyday Minerals: Vegan, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly.

Gabriel Cosmetics: Cruelty-free, vegan, and environmentally friendly.

Mineral Fusion: EWG verified, cruelty-free, paraben-free, talc-free, artificial color-free, synthetic fragrance-free, SLS-free, and phthalate-free.

Red Apple lipstick:  Non-GMO, preservative-free, chemical and toxin-free, petroleum-free, lead and talc-free, and vegan.

Tarte Cosmetics: Cruelty-free, vegan, and hypo-allergenic.

Evaluations were made on the following criteria.

• SAFETY     Makeup tested had to score a 3 or lower on the EWG rating site (0 being the best score).  It had to be gluten-free and contain no endocrine disruptors.
• COST-EFFECTIVENESS     All-natural makeup is pricey!  The best gluten-free options had to be reasonably priced and last a long time.
• LONGEVITY      Did the makeup last all day or wash off?  Our gluten-free makeup picks lasted the day.
• BREAKOUT FREE    Gluten-free makeup had to be breakout-free and allergy-friendly.
• MOISTURIZING EFFECTS    Gluten-free makeup tested needed to be moisturizing, not greasy, and contain no chemical contaminants.

Gluten-Free Makeup Review

*A little about the tester’s skin,  all of the testers have celiac disease, one has oily skin, one dry, and two normal.  All have sensitive skin.  Each wears makeup on a daily basis.

Foundation    

The absolutely BEST tinted moisturizer we have found is from Pure Haven!  Love this product, sheer, light, and natural.  Stays on and gives your skin a luminescent glow!

Blush    

I had not been wearing blush until I found this creamy stick version of blush.  We love Pure Haven’s gluten-free blush because it stays and is easy to apply.  No mess and boy does this blush last, just a little dab will do you.

Mascara   

Wow, we went through a lot of smeary, messy, gluten-free mascara that did not stay on the eyelash, and gave us a constant set of raccoon eyes!  As we all consider good mascara a need we were so happy to stumble across this mascara with stays on the eye and apply without a mess and even lengthens your eyelashes!  It also scored a 0 from the EWG!  This gluten-free ECCO Bella Mascara gets a 10 from The Peaceful Haven!

Eye Shadow

Mineral Fusion Eye Shadow also got a 0 from the EWG which is the best score you can get.  We loved the colors and the fact that our eyes did not itch!  The best part is that it looks beautiful on the eyelid and does not make your eyelid look wrinkly.  A big bonus for the over 40 crowds.

Eye Pencil 

Another winner from Mineral Fusion!  No smear eye pencil that lasts and doesn’t get stuck in eye creases.  It’s gluten-free of course and a must-have as far as daily makeup goes!

Liquid Eye Liner 

Unfortunately, the jury is still out on finding a gluten-free option that we can recommend.  We will continue looking and will keep you posted.

Lipstick

For some reason, lipstick is loaded with horrible stuff!  Even some companies that used to have great gluten-free lipstick options have been bought out and now have additives added.  Yuck.  I am happy to introduce you to Red Apple lipstick which color lasts, moisturizes your lips, has great color variety, and does not cost an arm and a leg!
