For someone who gets her kicks out from all sorts of cosmetics, it\u2019s been an enlightening journey. What fabulous ranges! Such intriguing bottles! The innovation! And, above all: The pace at which natural cosmetics have caught up with so-called regular cosmetics \u2013 often beating them to the game! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m pretty sure there are others who still felt a few years ago that natural cosmetics were bought mainly as an eco-friendly replacement for so-called regular cosmetics: decent enough products were available, but they had a similar vibe as the lactose-free, gluten-free and vegan alternatives on offer in the early 2000s. They left out ingredients people wanted to avoid and did the job, but felt more like \u201creplacements\u201d rather than appealing options in their own right.\u00a0<em>(Or maybe it\u2019s just me who thinks like this, but wahay \u2013 finally also this late bloomer has seen the light!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_1-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_1-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_1-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_1-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_1-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the biggest critics can no longer talk about replacements, as natural cosmetics increasingly cater for any taste and need. Now no one looking for a natural alternative needs to settle for a \u201cbasic foundation\u201d, but has a huge selection of formulas to choose from just like in the world of synthetic ingredients. Natural ranges now include traditional foundations, powder foundations, matte products with coverage, serum foundations, <em>cushion compacts<\/em>, mineral foundations and tinted moisturisers. A lot has also happened in branding: the cosmetics sections of eco-friendly shops and luxury department stores alike are stocked with convincing, aesthetically appealing options. I bet many end up buying natural cosmetics without even realising these days\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My own bathroom cabinet has pretty much become filled with natural cosmetics by now. Of course I aim to use up my mixed array of regular jars from before so they don\u2019t go to waste, but I admit that the thought of applying a lotion containing silicone with no skin-caring properties whatsoever seems absurd. Why would I reach out for a bottle like that if I know that every ingredient in the natural product next to it&nbsp;<em>genuinely<\/em>cares for the skin?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite seeing the light, my makeup bag is still a mixed bunch of mostly synthetic products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have of course tested many decent natural makeup products over the years, but very few of them have the&nbsp;<em>style<\/em>the synthetic products I\u2019ve chosen have. Perhaps I\u2019ve also lived according to my former knowledge even though I should know better by now: there\u2019s plenty on offer, also to meet my personal wishes and habits!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the coming months,&nbsp;Inke&#8217;s beauty corner will be on the lookout for natural products that can replace the go-to products in my makeup bag \u2013 they have to be at least as good, hopefully better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_2-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_2-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_2-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_2-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_2-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I\u2019m looking to update the following everyday go-to products in my makeup bag:<strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 skin tints that even out the skin tone and give light coverage&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 non-caking loose powder that sets makeup without killing glow&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 pigment concealer that comes in a jar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 serum foundation rich in pigment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 creamy blush stick in a&nbsp;<em>certain shade<\/em>of coral pink<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 creamy, fairly natural but super fabulous highlighter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 volumising, tinted brow gel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 a good mascara with a lash-separating, natural finish&nbsp;<em>(someone might say boring, but hey, we all have our thing!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 creamy eyeshadow applied with fingertips that doesn\u2019t scream \u201dmakeup\u201d but intensifies the gaze<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013perfect, fiery red lipstick with a matt texture that\u2019s not dry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the list may suggest, my everyday makeup has a&nbsp;<em>no makeup&nbsp;<\/em>feel \u2013 apart from wearing lipstick about once a week.

I like the natural-looking result: skin doesn\u2019t have to be completely even and flawless, but a slight tint and smoother finish are enough. Less is more during the weekdays, whereas I want to pair darker eye makeup with slightly more coverage on the skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The low-pigment product comes in small drops and can be easily applied with fingertips. The intention isn\u2019t to cover anything as such, but the tint does even out the skin tone and gives a glow without the slightest worry about a caky finish. Any area left to hide can be tackled with concealer!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_3-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_3-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_3-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_3-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_3-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Glossier drops blend perfectly into skin, and the colour is even without leaving visible smears. Skin gets an even tone and a slight glow without ending up with a layer that can be seen or felt with fingers. If I had freckles, this wouldn\u2019t hide them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone might think why bother if you don\u2019t even want the makeup to be seen. Personally, I feel this product does to my skin what natural light does to a selfie: I\u2019m still myself, but glow in the best possible light. Not a bad aim, ay?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the product\u2019s INCI list reveals quite a combo of silicone, which left me wondering whether such a super-toned and gorgeous finish is even possible to achieve naturally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_1-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_1-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_1-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_1-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_1-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_swatch_1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>In the swatches, Glossier on the left, Kos\u00e5s on the right.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does the natural option compare:<\/strong> Searching and testing an alternative raised quite a few doubts and fears, but there you have it. The Kos\u00e5s tint is at least as good, if not better! A pretty convincing start to the series on updating the makeup bag, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tend to apply a pretty generous amount of face oil or Weleda Skin Food under makeup, because I want my skin to show through and even shine. But these tinted serum drops are oil-based as they are! It shows in the results \u2013 it\u2019s a bottle of pure glow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find you need even less of the product than with the Glossier tint, a few drops are plenty for the entire face. The first shade I tried was bang on, and the shades on offer cater for many: there are as many as ten to choose from. That\u2019s&nbsp;<em>double&nbsp;<\/em>the amount compared to Glossier!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_6-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_6-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_6-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_6-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_6-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_6-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_6.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As something minor to criticise, I noticed that you have to be more careful in applying the product around the fine lines around the eyes than with the Glossier counterpart \u2013 especially if using at all too much, it tends to gather in creases before drying and setting. This can be easily fixed with a few extra strokes with a brush, and I find it a small price to pay for the otherwise perfect, genuine glow and natural formula that the product offers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brand is visually appealing as well, and a pleasure to slip in the makeup bag also purely for looks. The name is funny if you understand Swedish: my bilingual husband sniggered and asked what I was doing with that\u00a0<em>cow sauce\u00a0<\/em>(ko = cow, s\u00e5s = sauce). Quite a coincidence for a makeup brand, isn\u2019t it? However, I believe the name is supposed to be pronounced according to the Spanish\u00a0<em>kosas<\/em>, in which case I believe it means \u2018things\u2019.\u00a0Scandinavian, strange-looking letters can be dangerous in the wrong hands\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, not all&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/kosas.com\/\">Kos\u00e5s<\/a> products fulfil the criteria for natural cosmetics, but this tint raises no concerns. The pigments used in the label\u2019s blushers and lipsticks are however a cause of complaint, so anyone wanting to stay on the straight and narrow \u2013 take note when shopping!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_3-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_3-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_3-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_3-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_3-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kosas_glossier_3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Verdict:&nbsp;<\/strong>Thumbs-up!&nbsp;<em>Definitely<\/em>. With this product, I don\u2019t feel I have to give up anything, as the natural alternative is at least as good and even the packaging is just as cool. The&nbsp;<em>glow<\/em>on the other hand\u2026 Well, I think it\u2019s even a little better! The staying power is just as good in both, the complexion may not look as good as it did after applying in the morning in either, but that\u2019s life. And there\u2019s nothing to stop slipping the tiny bottle in your handbag, so you can dab some more on the cheeks during the day. At least in my case, I find the phone display seems to eat up some of my makeup no matter what I do.&nbsp;<em>(Hands-free is a friend \u2013 if I\u2019d only remember to keep the headphones attached\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally favour natural cosmetics mainly for the results and only secondly in an effort to avoid chemicals. In this sense, it seems logical to update a product that is spread to such a large area on a daily basis to a natural one that cares for the skin at the same time. I smother nourishing oil onto my skin anyway, so why not use a tint with an oil base. The oil cocktail in the product is pretty convincing: avocado, jojoba, rosehip and raspberry seed oils. It\u2019s easy to become a fan!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Updating my makeup bag will continue \u2013 follow along to find out what alternatives I\u2019ll be featuring next time.&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Translated by Rebecca Watson<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inke, whose makeup bag also includes synthetic products, puts natural cosmetics to the test.&nbsp; I\u2019ve now been writing my&nbsp;Inke&#8217;s beauty corner&nbsp;column for a year and a half.
