Trying to define the word "hipster" is like trying to catch a butterfly. It's one of those oblique, ever-changing terms that's pretty much impossible to pin down.
Which is why we're not about to dive into the whole "What is a hipster, really?" debate. But what we are willing to declare -- even though it may cause a bit of a ruckus -- is this: Hipsters like makeup, too!
Next time you're browsing through Sephora, look around. We guarantee you'll see at least one in the checkout line. But a hipster's cosmetic bag isn't filled with CoverGirl concealer or Revlon blush. They're into the indie, you've-probably-never-heard-of-it kind of stuff.
So, we've come up with a list of our favorite hipster-approved beauty products. And yeah, we know, a true hipster would never give anything a big ol' stamp of approval. But we're willing to bet that even the hippest of hipsters -- you know, the ones deep in the heart of Brooklyn -- would be into these products.
So, squeeze into a pair of skinny jeans, adjust your thick-rimmed glasses, and keep clicking to get these goods before they become mainstream.
These are all nothing more than novelty products, just designed to sell but not actually help your skin. MAKE does not list any ingredients and have not responded to any requests for ingredient requests (personally), though in theory is good because its "charitable". As for the cleanser: Rosewater and tea tree oil are irritants for your face. So in theory you would be better off with the suds than those ingredients in the first place.
How would you go about purchasing the makeup palette featured in this article? I think it would be good to include more info re price and availability as otherwise whats the point really

I love exploring obscure make up brands. Sometimes they are cheaper and have a better quality than some others out there.

Funny article. I like the lipstick and the eye shadows. The cherry coke lip balm was my favorite.
