If you have been intrigued by the thought of going green with your beauty bag, Root is the perfect cosmetics brand to help you clean up your makeup. Root's products are all natural, non toxic, & chemical free. You may be wondering why that matters for your skin & where you should start.

Within the past year I have realized the importance of using natural skin care products. I have struggled with acne since I was 11 years old! I had tried everything on the market with no success. When I finally switched to Root my skin began clearing up & the difference in my complexion was noticeable! I had no idea I was having allergic reactions to the makeup I was using so I’m thankful that Root has made a product that is free of fillers & chemicals. Below, I have included a side by side picture of my skin before switching to Root & a photo of me, currently, without any makeup on.




When I first heard about Root, I was a little overwhelmed at the thought of buying my makeup online without first being able to try the product. Root takes the guess work out of it & makes it simple! All you have to do is send a snapshot of yourself in natural lighting to hello@rootpretty.com & they will help you figure out which shade will fit you best. You can order sample sizes to try before you order your full sized foundation. With 40+ shades available, chances are your perfect match is out there! I tried G4 & W4 but quickly found that the G4 was my perfect match. I applied both wet on my face but found the W4 was a little too yellow for my skin.


To apply, I began by lightly applying the foundation dry with a kabuki brush. I build on it depending on how much coverage I need. It can also be applied wet so sometimes I will us a concealer brush to cover up those areas that need a little bit more coverage. In the picture below, I have only applied the Foundation on half my face so you can see how AMAZING the coverage is. For me, I have red spots on my cheeks, forehead, & chin but it is easily concealed even with light coverage.

When people ask me which Root products that should try, I tell them to invest in the Pretty Kit! It is SO worth it. In that kit, you get the Pearl Powder Mineral Foundation, Bronze, Setting Silk, a Pretty Blender, & a Kabuki Brush. At only $50, it is basically a steal. Using all three of those products really create a finished look and the setting silk really helps my makeup last longer.  I quickly saw the benefits of using natural products on my skin within the first month of using Root. Now that I’ve seen the light, I can’t go back.
