No longer a foreign term in beauty, gluten-free makeup options have flourished in recent seasons. Here’s the pick of the crop.
Mirabella Beauty
Gluten-free beauty doesn’t mean you have to compromise on color pigment. Mirabella’s lipsticks are sumptuously rich and hydrating, and the red shade shown – Moi - is completely lead and paraben free, as are all the shades in the collection.
