I suffer from horriffic PMDD, and over the past three months hace been trying to cut out products that contain known endocrine distruptors - phthalates, pfas, artificial fragrance etc etc, to try to regulate my out of control mood swings better, etc.

The swaps for hair & body products have been easy to make so far, and my last two cycles have, rather astonishingly, been far less mood-swing driven already. I’m honestly flabbergasted.

But I am struggling A LOT with makeup. It is not my area of expertise, and it is all SO expensive. Brands like Beauty Counter seem to cover all the bases when it comes to formulating without known endocrine distruptors, but I have a hard time stomaching paying $43 for a face powder when I am used to paying six bucks for one at Target.

I’m curious if anyone knows of any makeup brands that are a little more mid-range in price, that would meet my needs? I wear powder, blush, eyeshadow and mascara mostly.

Thankyou!!
