I try a lot of lipsticks, and while I've got everything I need in the red, plum, nude, matte, and creamy departments, I'm lacking in one. I'm not a fan of the use of the marketing term "clean beauty," as there's yet to be a consistent definition across brands for it. However, I'm a big fan of beauty brands that go beyond the semantics, brands that are thoughtful about the ingredients they use and, most importantly, have a transparent and sustainable supply chain.
That's where my lipstick collection is lacking. I've been in the market for one that does all of the above but also has an incredible formula, sleek packaging, and wearable shades.
I'm not gonna lie. It has been pretty difficult, but thanks to Highr, the sustainable lipstick–sized hole in my life has been filled. The L.A.-made brand is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and 66-74% organic. But sure, we've seen that before. What most impressed me is that the brand goes way beyond what's in the product to prove its eco-credentials. Plus, the lipsticks are pretty great, too.
