One of the first established makeup artists to greenify her makeup case, Christy Coleman is one smart cookie. Having deduced that her father’s untimely death a few years ago from ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/ Lou Gehrig’s Disease) could perhaps have been caused, or at least exacerbated, by the toxic chemicals to which her father was readily exposed, Christy decided to take her personal passion for green living into her professional arena and has been using natural make up on her clients ever since. Clients which have included Giselle Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Emmy Rossum, Amanda Peet and Sheryl Crow, no less, and photographers such as Arthur Elgort, Irving Penn, Patrick Demarchelier and Gilles Bensimon.

But even if you aren’t likely to enter her sphere of influence professionally, Christy kindly shares everything she knows via her blog and Twitter feeds, which she updates regularly.

This week on the blog, you’ll find a piece on the ‘Top 5 Foods for Beautiful Skin’, while on the site you can see which brands Christy loves and uses. And, if you go to the skin care bit and you’ll see a certain organic skin care company on there that we know and love only too well!

That fact aside, though, we think Christy is a real champion and hope she continues to work her powers on the rich and famous as well as the not-so-rich-and-famous as she fights the good, natural, organic fight.
