Finding flattering and high-performance makeup that is also certified organic and made with sustainable packaging is not an easy order to fill. Leave it to designer, actress and eco-friendly innovator Nikki Reed to point us in the right direction. “I use a lot of Kjaer Weis,” she told NewBeauty in our December cover story when asked about her makeup must-haves.
Always intrigued by Reed’s beauty recommendations, I learned Kjaer Weis was founded by the Danish-born and NYC-based makeup artist Kirsten Kjaer Weis. The brand is rooted in the idea that using natural beauty products shouldn’t be at the expense of the luxury beauty experience. Kjaer Weis is so dedicated to organic ingredients and sustainability that their multi-purpose formulas are housed in completely refillable and recyclable compacts.
If you’re on the hunt for gorgeous lip color, Kjaer Weis’ lipsticks are richly pigmented and deeply moisturizing. Shea butter and jojoba oil make lips feel comfortable and keep lips smooth while delivering a velvety, matte look. Surprisingly, I found a few shades of the brand’s Lipstick Refills on sale on Credo Beauty. “Thoughtful ” ($21) is a pretty pink nude. “Confidence” ($21) is a warm, poppy red. “Glorious” ($21) is a deep, beautiful berry.
Thanks to Kjaer Weis’ commitment to sustainability, I feel good about stocking up on makeup products. But hurry—the Credo Beauty sale is selling out fast. Shop these lipstick refill shades, and all of Kjaer Weis’ luxury organic makeup, while you still can.
