Christopher Drummond Beauty

If you want testimonials about Christopher Drummond Beauty, you could just ask his former clients. That is, if you have the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Halle Berry on speed dial.

Luckily, the artisan beauty brand speaks for itself. The 100% natural and non-toxic formulas are sourced from high-grade organic ingredients, without the icky additives you find in other brands. Some are vegan, most are vegetarian, and every single one is cruelty-free. Whatever the product—a seaweed-infused mascara, coconut oil-based lip gloss or creamy foundation infused with plant extracts—there’s a laundry list of pure and potent ingredients behind it.

So how did Christopher Drummond Beauty become that passionate in the first place? It all ties back to the namesake founder. Starting out as a Michigan-born model, Christopher struggled to find products that suited his bi-racial skin. That quest led him to a job at the beauty counter at Saks Fifth Avenue, and eventually, to a decade-long career as a makeup artist. Today, his luxurious line offers everything he sought himself: Simple, effective formulas that work on every age and skin type, without the list of chemicals and preservatives you can’t pronounce.
