Jan 14, 2014 Joelle cosmetics (mymineralglitters.com) is GF and corn-free. The owner can’t have gluten or corn. Reasonably priced, too. She offers a full line, though she does lip gloss instead of lipstick, but it’s nice stuff. The only gluten- and corn-free shampoo and conditioner I’ve been able to find is made by Everyday Shea. They do acknowledge that even products that don’t contain glutinous ingredients can come in contact with gluten, so gluten free is not guaranteed because of shared equipment. Clinique offer an enormous line of cosmetics, including but not limited to foundation, face washes, eye makeup, lipsticks, moisturizers, makeup removers, and fragrance.

Feb 22, 2021 On the gluten free makeup list below, I also noted which companies test for gluten. Okay with that being said, let’s jump straight into the gluten free cosmetics and makeup listing. Gluten Free Makeup List. Here are all the makeup and cosmetic brands that offer gluten free products, or better, are 100% gluten free.

MAC is a prestige brand of makeup sold in some department stores, their own stores, and online. MAC does not make gluten free makeup, per se, but they do pay enough attention to their products to be able to say which of their products has glutinous ingredients and which don’t. They do acknowledge that even products that don’t contain glutinous ingredients can come in contact with gluten, so gluten free is not guaranteed because of shared equipment.

MAC offer a huge line of cosmetics, including but not limited to foundation, eye makeup, lipsticks, moisturizers, makeup removers, and fragrance.

I contacted MAC to ask generally about whether their makeup is gluten free, but also about particular products. Their representative sent me the following information:

– Lipstick (Amplified) contains wheat, barley, and soy
– Lipstick (Amplified Creme) contains wheat, barley, and soy
– Lipstick (Cremesheen) contains wheat, corn, and soy
– Lipstick (Frost) contains ingredients derived from corn
– Lipstick (Glaze) contains ingredients derived from corn
– Lipstick (Lustre) contains ingredients derived fron corn and soy
– Lipstick (Matte) contains ingredients derived from soy and corn
– Lipstick (Retro Matte) contains soy
– Lipstick (Satin) contains ingredients derived from corn and soy
– Viva Glam Lipstick – please reference finishes listed above
– Ultimate Lipstick contains soy
– Pro Longwear Lipcreme contains corn and soy
– Mineralize Rich Lipstick contains wheat, barley, and soy
– Casual Colour contains soy
– Mineralize Moisture SPF15 Foundation may contain soy and ingredients derived from corn and other grain sources
– Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 contains corn and soy
– Matchmaster SPF 15 Foundation contains corn and soy
– Lip Erase contains soy

It’s up to you whether you’re willing to use a product that is made on shared equipment, but before you purchase MAC’s makeup, make sure to contact them and ask whether what you’d like to use has glutinous ingredients. I have not yet tried their products, so if you try any, let me know!

Tarte cosmetics has been kept off the GFMG Gluten-Free Makeup List for a very LONG time. While they are an extremely popular company, their gluten policies consist of

“We do not put gluten ingredients in our makeup, but we might have cross-contamination“.

So that means Tarte’s makeup is “gluten free” by ingredients but there is chances of cross contamination during processing or with source materials.

For the very sensitive person, this is not safe. (Looking for strictly and safely gluten-free brands? check out The Gluten Free Makeup List)

But to someone not super sensitive? This is perfect.

In fact 2 years ago when I took a survey, about 60% of my readers told me they could handle Tarte’s potential contamination level. And now that I’m so much less sensitive to gluten, I can now handle Tarte without getting sick at all.

My 5 Favourite Gluten Free Makup from Tarte

So, if you’re one of those not extremely sensitive to possible gluten cross-contamination, let me introduce you to my Top 5 favourites from Tarte:

Amazonian Clay 12-hour Full Coverage Foundation SPF 15

This is a very basic, oil-free, vegan, matte foundation. For being so basic, it’s totally perfect.

The coverage is good, the wear really is 12 hours, and the matte finish has a bit of a velvet texture to it. Not too heavy, not too drying and lasts all day in Austin, TX heat and humidity.

Where to buy: Ulta, Sephora, Tarte, Amazon

Maracuja Creaseless Undereye Concealer

Gotta love Tarte’s naming conventions. They tell you exactly what a product does right in the description.

This concealer is thick enough to cover pretty intense blemishes, but blends out to work well under your eyes.

Where to buy: Sephora, Ulta, Tarte

Tarteist™ Clay Paint Liner

I grabbed this because the funny little tip got me curious. I like painting on eyeliner with a brush. But I’d never seen a squeezeable tube with a little flat palette on the end.

As it stands, this liner actually requires the blending end. It comes out slightly separated and needs a little swirl to get back into shape. Once that’s done, the liner goes on easily with an excellent texture. It lasts and lasts all day, with almost no smudging or wear.

Where to buy: Sephora, Ulta, Tarte

Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara

A gluten-free, vegan mascara that gives oomph and pizzazz and wow and also doesn’t melt in Texas heat? Yes please! tarte’s “Lights, Camera, lashes” mascara has been a cult favorite for years. It’s no wonder, considering it hits everything you could want in a daily mascara.

There’s also an adorable travel version of this you can try, if you don’t want a full bottle. But it’s such great stuff, you can’t go wrong with it.

Where to buy: Amazon, Sephora, Ulta, Tarte

Tarteist™ Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint

THIS STUFF THOUGH. I’m so in love with it. It goes on, stays on, and looks amazing for hooours. Every single time I wear either color I have, people ask me about it. They ask because it looks amazing. They ask because they watch me eat a meal and are stunned by how perfect it still looks.

I sound like a paid ad now. Ahahaha WHOOPS. OK but it really is fantastic. I’m in love. You should check it out.

Where to buy: Amazon, Sephora, Ulta, Tarte
