When you’re used to buying makeup in person at a brick-and-mortar store, the process of switching to natural foundation can be intimidating. But have no fear! Getting samples online is far less scary when you know where to go to find your makeup match.
When it comes to testing foundation and concealer–where color is EVERYTHING–online samples can lead you to your makeup soulmate.

Here’s my top picks for natural makeup samples:
Vapour Organic Beauty
The Vapour sample kit contains 5 samples for $15, plus $2.30 shipping (or $5 for international orders). Once your sample kit ships, Vapour will email you a $10 off promo code to use on your next purchase. Discover if their Soft Focus Foundation or their Luminous Foundation is more your speed, or go wild and sample one of their rich lipsticks. My samples (above, left) came quickly, and were neatly labeled. Each sample contains 1 or 2 uses.

Or…. add free samples onto your green beauty order from Integrity Botanicals. Each order comes with three free samples! Here’s the links to the individual Vapour sample pages, to be added to your Integrity Botanicals order:
- Atmosphere Soft Focus Foundation samples
- Atmosphere Luminous Stick Foundation samples
- Illusionist Concealer samples

W3LL People
W3LL People makes incredible complexion products; their Altruist Foundation Powder and Narcissist Foundation + Concealer Stick are pure and gentle even on sensitive skin. Check out the W3LL People Foundation Selector to find your foundation match.
Samples straight from W3LL People cost $1.50 apiece, plus $6 shipping. So if I bought 5 samples, it would cost $13.50. It’s a good deal for organic samples.
Another option for free samples is to add some on to your order from Integrity Botanicals (three free samples with each order). This way you can try the W3LL People makeup at no cost!
