We recently held an event at our city store to introduce our customers to new natural and mineral makeup ranges: MUSQ mineral makeup and the new, improved range from Sante natural cosmetics.

Our talented team spent the day treating Biome customers to complimentary make-overs. We met so many wonderful people who choose to trust us with their skin. As a result of much testing and feedback we selected these "must-have" products. So great for those who want natural, safe cosmetics that look as good and last as well (or better) than conventional make-up.

Our experienced makeover person, Hayley, shares these top 12 favourites >>

1. Musq mineral powder foundation

I am a late mineral make-up convert, but after seeing how well this foundation evens skin-tone, and lifts and brightens the eye area, I'm hooked. So many people asked for low effort foundation, and this is so easy to apply (just brush a little over your face and neck, layer for more coverage as required). This powder is also great if you prefer a cream or liquid foundation (such as our MUSQ cream foundation) as these need setting so they last the day and don't end up on your phone. See for yourself, rub a line of cream or liquid foundation on the inside of your wrist, then over half apply powder. The cream with powder will look so much more natural and will not come off as easily. For those worried they are going to end up with a powdery look, that brings me to our next favourite...

2. Bod rose hydrosol toner

By spritzing this nourishing spray over your entire face after applying your powder make-up (including blush and eye shadow, but before mascara), you'll end up with a wonderfully dewy, natural look. I now never do my make-up without a rose-based spray and this one with certified organic damask rose hydrosol is such a treat. Bod rose hydrosol toner

3. Olieve vanilla lip balm

Want smooth, plump and kissable lips? It's a great idea to create a perfect base for your lipstick. Your first step in your make-up routine should be to put some lip balm (this one is packed with olive oil and tastes amazing). This will give the lip balm a chance to work it's magic while you are applying foundation, etc, then you blot it off and apply lipstick. Your lips will be smoother and your lipstick will look the better for it. Olieve vanilla lip balm

4. Sante eye shadow pencils

For easy, even eye makeup even in those bleary-eyed morning applications with a foggy bathroom mirror these are it. They are easy to blend and gentle on your eyelids. For a more intense finish top with Sante eyeshadow trios in complimentary colours. Sante eye shadow pencils

5. Musq mineral eyeliner

So soft on your delicate eye area, but with intense colour. No barely-there, scratchy pencil with this eyeliner around. To make this pencil long-lasting on the inner rim of your eye, use our EcoTools bamboo angled eyeliner brush with a matching eyeshadow and dab it over with the flat of the brush. Musq mineral eyeliner

6. Sante rouge blush

Great natural colours, and what's more looks flawless on. Simple as that! Sante rouge blush

7. EcoTools bamboo brush set

A good all-round set. The blush brush doubles as a great mineral powder applicator (as it is denser than the EcoTools powder brush so more economical with your mineral make up). The concealer brush is also great for applying or blending cream eyeshadow like our Sante eyeshadow pencil sticks. Also contains the Ecotools angled eyeliner brush as mentioned above.

8. Musq mascara

For defined lashes with no nasties, this is an excellent choice. Apply to tips, allow to dry and then apply to whole length of lashes. Available in black and brown. Musq mascara

9. Sante contour and gloss lip duo

Well, customers loved the colours, and I loved the easy application. Just sharpen with Sante's sharpener, apply the liner all over lips (and leave at that for long-lasting matt colour) and top with matching gloss at the other end. Sante contour and gloss lip duo

10. Sante dipliner liquid eye liners

So long lasting for a liquid liner. If you like a little retro flick, always apply from the outer of the lid to the inner for more control and you'll get them even. I love the sparkling brown dipliner (No. 1), it is such a contemporary yet unusual shade. Sante dipliner liquid eye liners

11. Sante cover/concealer sticks

In the last range, these were a favourite, and now come in 4 shades. Apply a little just over the little dark patches of your inner under eye (if you go to close to the outer eye it may gather in creases and you generally never need it near smile lines for dark circles anyway). Sante cover/concealer sticks

12. Tinderbox Fennel & Yarrow cleanser

At the end of the day (or night!) take it all off with this effective, yet uber-natural cleanser from WA company Tinderbox. You'll be impressed at how fast it works on mascara and eyeliner. Tinderbox Fennel & Yarrow cleanser
