1. Lavera’s dermatologist-tested Eyebrow Styling Gel keeps stray hairs in place while giving definition and colour to the brow. Its certified organic ingredients and natural essential oils ensure hydration while its built-in brush helps with shaping. http://www.lavera.com

2. With a background in naturopathy, Lisa Noto’s toxin-free make-up collection aims to be a high-performing, regenerating beauty option for all skin types using nourishing, healing ingredients. Her lipsticks are not to be missed, comprising three natural waxes. The satin finish of shea and cocoa butter keeps smackers moisturised for eight hours. http://www.lisanoto.com

3. Eyebrow definers by PETA-approved Hynt Beauty glide on like a cream but have a finish of a powder. Packed with nurturing jojoba oil and castor seed oil, the vegan formula is free of toxins, parabens, silicones, petrochemicals and GMOs. The brow definer also doubles as an eyeliner when used with the right brush. http://www.hyntbeauty.com

4. Free from mineral oils, synthetic fragrances, dyes, preservatives and ingredients of animal origins, Belif’s Moisture Bomb Cushion is made with the hydrating comfrey leaf and protecting ceranmide, promising a dewy effect that apparently lasts for 24 hours. http://www.belifcosmetic.com

5. A believer of long-lasting make-up free from animal testing, Lush’s Eye Jewels are made with organic jojoba oil and calming carnauba wax base to ensure eyelids are soothed and hydrated. They contain shea butter, sustainably sourced from a women’s cooperative in Ghana, offering calming and rejuvenating properties. The Jewels come in 10 colours. http://www.lush.com

6. The perfect palette for highlighting the face, Nude by Nature’s trio of colours delivers a natural glow and highlight, with warmth and depth. All products from the Australian mineral make-up brand are 100 per cent cruelty-free and PETA-certified and free from synthetics and toxins including silicones, parabens and talcs, and many use native ingredients such as Kakadu plum, lilly pilly and Cehami. http://www.nudebynature.com.au
