Time for a make-up shake up: toss out the old and fill your beauty bag with these natural and organic brands instead.

Foundation by TV & Movie

One of Japanese brand TV & Movie’s bestsellers, the 10 Min Mineral Powder Foundation not only protects your skin with SPF40 but also naturally adjusts to suit your skin tone. Best of all, it’s not dry like regular powder foundation as it contains natural oils including argan oil, olive oil and camellia oil.
