Model Josie Maran is naturally beautiful, as is her recently launched line of eponymous makeup made with organic ingredients and biodegradable packaging. We wrote about the debut of her new line, back when word of it was first getting out. I’ve recently been giving some of the products a try to see how they stack up.

So far, my favorite product is the Tinted Moisturizer, (below, L). Its light, smooth texture and SPF 30 is perfect for hot summer days. It evened-out and warmed my slightly splotchy skin. I think it would be perfect for someone who doesn’t want to wear a lot of heavy makeup but needs some coverage.

The formula includes Josie’s signature ingredient, organic argan oil, which allegedly replenishes and repairs skin cells, as well as pomegranate oil, grape seed oil and organic papaya extract.

I’m also a big fan of the concealer and lip gloss (above, C and R, respectively). The concealer did a good job of hiding my undereye circles and was easy to apply and blend. It left no traces of makeup in the dry lines under my eyes. The lip gloss in Compassion was natural but illuminating, and I liked that it wasn’t too sticky or shiny. It provided a nice mix of color and hydration in an easily portable tube.

I definitely recommend Josie Maran Cosmetics. I especially appreciate the fact that the company is a signatory to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, and they consulted the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep database of questionable ingredients when formulating their products.
