Don’t fret if you’re lactose intolerant, Milk Makeup is 100% vegan, cruelty-free and paraben-free. Taking the lead in the science of beauty, it is clear that Milk aims to accommodate for all; even more so with the brand’s core belief of individuality and self-expression. In an industry where high end beauty brands influence the current and upcoming social trends/shifting status quo – Milk Makeup comfortably sits above all, allowing you to be you.
Rejoice as OVERDUE plays with Milk Makeup’s new Vegan Milk Moisturiser, giving you first-hand insight.
With the aim to soften and soothe the skin with excellent results of 100% across the board for consumer perception studies – what is in this magical green tub? Is it the Emerald City of Oz? Let us lead you down the yellow brick road… Desert Milk™ (as listed by Sara Wren, Studio Artist at Milk Makeup) is made from Kalahari Melon, Jojoba, Baobab and Aloe Vera. Desert Milk™ is the secret behind their new product supplying our fragile skin with love and moisture, soothed by the wonder of aloe vera. It also includes Fig Milk, Oat Milk and Argan Milk. These ingredients are only the start, the tub is brimming with ingredients that contributes to the health of our skin. This is essentially the product you choose when deserted on an island on your own.
Let your skin be the land of OZ
Milk Makeup states this product “thrives in arid environments”, and we can confirm. As we, OVERDUE, base ourselves in London, hear a synchronised “yes!” from the team as I say this: working and living in city pollution, and dealing with winter of the UK is tough on our skin. As we slather ourselves in the Vegan Milk Moisturiser, we are ready to combat the harsh pollutants with the four Milk’s that make this moisturiser so sacred.
I have now led you down the yellow brick road to the Emerald City of Milk Makeup. The Beauty Editor and I have stocked our refrigerators with Milk Makeup’s skincare, here is our midnight snacks.
Out of the Watermelon Brightening range, the Watermelon Brightening Serum is the first step of your day. Being the first solid serum, every bit of hydration and brightening that vitamin A, C and E gives is given directly to your skin. We love a liquid serum, however a solid serum changes everything.

Who knew that the health benefits of drinking cold water can now be applied directly to my skin? I no longer reach for my Evian, and I never go for tap — Cooling Water by Milk Makeup will do.

Another solid stick goody, the Cooling Water Eye Stick applied directly to my under eyes when refrigerated immediately cools and de-puffs; tackling that early morning and feeling refreshed. This eye stick definitely packs a punch, and when followed after their Cooling Water Eye Patches, you can never be dehydrated ever again.
If you know what’s good for you, I suggest you pack your fridges — and your skin.
