After fifteen years selling toxin-free makeup, these are eight of the most flattering for those of us over 40.

We have thousands of beautiful toxin-free makeup products at Clean Nectarine, but I'll admit it can be a bit overwhelming when you're not sure where to start. Personally, I like to keep things simple. Here are eight that I've tried and tested over the years. They'll all fit nicely in your make-up bag, so you can bring them anywhere for the perfect everyday make-up look. They cover what we want covered, add a dewy flush to the cheeks, fill out the brows and make our eyes really pop.

1. Benecos CC Concealer Palette

A colour-correcting palette for the days it's redness we're covering and the days it's dark circles. Four blendable shades sort it: green neutralises redness and blemishes, pink and beige hide shadows and dark circles, and purple freshens and brightens. Apricot kernel and castor oil keep it smooth to blend, so we build an even base before foundation.

2. 100% Pure Bamboo Blur Setting Powder

A real-life beauty filter for that soft-focus finish. It's made with pure bamboo silica that soaks up excess oil and takes down shine while refracting light, so skin looks silky and poreless. It sets our make-up with translucent, weightless cover, and it suits every skin type.

3. Ere Perez Carrot Colour Pot

A flush of dewy colour for the cheeks, and it does the job on lips too. It's a hydrating cream we can wear sheer for a subtle glow or build up for more, with antioxidant-rich carrot oil keeping skin soft. The creamy formula blends in without going patchy, and the little pot has a mirror in the lid for touch-ups on the go.

4. Dr Hauschka Transparent Lip Line Definer

A clear liner that does a little plumping and a little shaping, and holds lipstick in place without leaving a visible outline. Rose petal extract and jojoba oil help it glide on, and because it's transparent it sits under any lipstick shade to stop bleeding and feathering.

5. Luk Beautifood Lip Nourish Lipstick

We can't pick the wrong colour here, they're all lovely. A food scientist created these from food-grade ingredients, with avocado oil and cocoa butter to nourish our lips while we wear them. The colour builds from a sheer tint to a rich lustre with a dewy satin finish, so one lipstick takes us from day to night.

6. 100% Pure Long Last Brows

These blend away grey hairs and over-plucked patches, and hold brows in place all day. The waxy formula is easy to blend for a natural or fuller look, with biotin and pro-vitamin B5 to condition the hairs, plus coffee and cocoa for natural-looking colour. I use Soft Brown.

7. Ere Perez Jojoba Eye Pencil

I wear shade Bronze, but any of her colours work, they're all gorgeous and flattering. The jojoba oil makes it creamy and gentle enough for sensitive eyes, and it glides on without dragging. Sharpen it for a precise line or blend it out for a smoky eye.

8. 100% Pure Ultra Lengthening Mascara

In Black Tea, there's no better natural mascara on the planet. The colour comes from black tea, berries and cocoa, and it lengthens each lash without clumping or flaking. Pro-vitamin B5 and seaweed condition the lashes as we wear them, and the precision brush separates and extends every one.
