Alima Pure - Our Founder
Kate O’Brien, a mother and kindergarten teacher, founded Alima Pure in 2004 in the attic of her home. She wasn’t a makeup artist or beauty industry insider. At that time the natural beauty landscape was very different. But Kate had a vision of providing natural and delicate makeup that truly enhanced natural beauty. She saw the need to create makeup products for the 'Modern Women' that would be lightweight and almost undetectable on the skin.
Kate saw the need for a brand that focused on natural ingredients. She chooses to use only essential minerals to create her makeup products. Since those days, Alima Pure has become synonymous with clean beauty due to its commitment to creating cruelty-free formulas with premium ingredients. Alima Pure stands out amongst its competitors as a conscious choice for cosmetics that are good for you and the planet.
Kate O'Brien had a mission to create a cosmetic brand that is safe and healthy for your skin. With these values centered on clean beauty principles, Alima Pure has become an industry leader for makeup loved for its outstanding performance and gorgeous colors. By using only the finest earth clays, minerals, and pigments from around the world, Alma Pure products are able to provide a highly pigmented look for every skin tone.

Alima Pure Reviews
Cream Concealer
Alexis - "I am impressed at how well a powder can conceal! It does have buildable coverage, which is really nice. My only wish is that Alima Pure made more shades of this concealer, as they do of a lot of their other concealer/foundation options."
Julie - "Covers everything! This Alima Pure concealer is great! Apply it with a brush and it will cover everything and stay in place. Cream concealers can run on my oily skin, but not with this one. It doesn't look cakey either! Great product!"
RuthAnn - "Love Alima Pure. It gives me a beautiful glow."
Bronzer
April - "This Alima Pure bronzer has great natural color. Perfect. This was my 2nd order!"
Susana - "Beautiful Alima Pure bronzer. I got the shade Trinidad- it's perfect for my medium skin tone. I love a good matte bronzer. Doubles as a setting powder and eyeshadow in a pinch or travel. I have dry skin but Alima's products never dry me out. They look better as the day goes on."
Maggie - "I'm pale and this is the most natural bronze ever. This Alima Pure bronzer is not too orange/red and not too cool. Builds beautifully as well. Makes my skin look like it's glowing. Great to help tame down a foundation that's too light too. Plus is a beautiful, easy eyeshadow color. Will definitely re-purchase"
Velvet Lipstick
Gigi - "Moisturizing. This Alima Pure product is a semi-matte lipstick that doesn’t dry but it actually moisturizes and softens the lip. I love the nude color."
Amel - "Great Alima Pure lipstick. Beautiful colors and hydrating."
AJ - "The Alima Pure color Stella is stunning. Stella is a beautiful earth - toned red, and I had no issues with it bleeding. Wonderful!"
Pressed Eye Shadow
Amel - " Lovely Alima Pure eye shadow. Nicer color range and highly pigmented."
Tain - "Alima Pure eyeshadows are always so pretty. I bought an icon that looks taupe as pictured, but is actually greyer. I do like it as it is a subtle shade and stays on well. The fact that the eyeshadows are refillable is great."
Akilah - " love this Alima Pure eyeshadow, specifically this gold colour for my dark brown complexion. Really warms up the skin and makes the eyes pop. Very pretty, my go-to shadow. I like that it's versatile and can be applied wet for a more dramatic look or dry for a more subtle look. It has good staying power. It can even be used other places than the eyes (highlight, imo)."
Loose Mineral Eyeshadow
Shannon - "I was trying to find a nice taupe shimmery eyeshadow that didn't drop glitter all over my face, and this Alima Pure eyeshadow does this trick! The "Paris" color is a great neutral that has great coverage (a little goes a long way) and doesn't drop all over my face throughout the day."
Maria - "Loved this Alima Pure eyeshadow! They stay on well and blend well too."
Beverly - " fully support Alima Pure’s principles and am happy that they offer a collection of loose mineral eyeshadows. I prefer sparkly and brightening one-&-done eyeshadows that flatter light-medium olive complexion with brown eyes and Venus is my favorite."
Loose Mineral Blush
Katie - "Great Alima Pure color. I love this blush because it doesn't makes me look sallow and older, this one brightens."
Susana - "I love Alima Pure products and this blush is no exception. I bought Leigh and Freja. The glow is subtle but gorgeous. Both shades work well for my medium skin tone. Easy to apply and blend. Lasts all day and looks good as the day goes on. I usually prefer cream blushes, but Alima Pure products never dry me out. Beautiful!"
AJ - "Lovely Alima Pure product. Gives just enough light and shine without being unnatural."
Satin Matte Foundation
Taylor - "Best powder foundation. Not only is this powder non-toxic but it's not cakey. The finish of this powder is so natural and gives you buildable coverage."
Debra - "My Holy Grail foundation. This is the best mineral foundation out there. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, has a natural finish and there are so many different shades."
Chi - "Beautiful on the skin. This looks beautiful on the skin and the olive shade is the perfect color for my light Asian skin tone. I use this mainly as a setting powder for a little added coverage and the minimal ingredients."
Pure Eye Primer
Silvia - "I’ve been using this Alima Pure eye primer for a few years and will continue using it. I love that it has a slight tint for my mature eyes and my shadows stick well and last all day."
Rosemary - "Excellent eye primer! I've tried a lot of eye primers and this is, by far, the best. You only need to use a little and it spreads sheerly but provides good coverage."
Jennifer - "Both Effective and Hydrating. Goes on smoothly, grabs eyeshadow, and holds it all day. If it works on middle-aged eyelids, it’s good stuff!"
