The specs: Certified organic and free from gluten, petroleum, parabens, artificial coloring, and fragrance, Kjaer Weis creates makeup that works a lot like skincare. Their cream blush, for example, is formulated with rose rubiginosa seed oil to fight signs of aging in your skin. Plus, the blend includes jojoba oil and shea butter to conjure the perfect dewy sheen and a subtle flush.

The praise: "I remember meeting with Kirsten, the founder of Kjaer Weis, way back when I first started at Byrdie. At the time, people were only starting to talk about clean beauty. I was struck by Kristen's message: that clean, organic makeup can look and feel as luxe and high-quality as traditional formulas. I immediately gravitated towards her cream blush, housed in a sleek metal compartment (all of her products are meant to be refillable to prevent waste). The shade Embrace was the perfect pale petal-pink, and the consistency was perfect—unlike a lot of other organic blushes, it doesn’t require you to 'melt' the formula to get that slip. It sinks into the skin beautifully and makes my cheeks look cherub-like, which is always an aesthetic goal of mine." - Faith Xue, editorial director, creative

There aren’t enough good things I can say about this foundation! It’s breathable and goes on smoothly without getting cakey, blends beautifully into my skin, and feels like it’s not even there—just the way I like my makeup. Not only is this foundation a great addition to your makeup routine, but it’s also certified organic and comes in a recyclable glass bottle. —Alba Ramos, beauty blogger
