This living make-up enhances/heightens/intensifies your beauty with the best from nature.


Explanation:
The expression /living cosmetics/ is related to natural/herbal/organic, as opposed to chemical cosmetics. The expression is obviously pure marketing, but why not?
Forever Living and Living Cosmetics products are organically based, as are those offered by Natura and Boticário. Check the use of /living/ in this Japanese ad:
O Boticário Galbe Eau de Toilette - Men's fragance 100ml
Interprets the man who has evolved over time, living harmony of body and spirit and has a sense of belonging to something bigger.For him, the planet is a living organism. Inside, everything is connected: man, nature, time. Top notes: lemon, lavender and rosemary. Middle notes: geranium, sage and violet leaves. Base notes: sândalo, musk e elemi.

OBS: Depending on the context, the future tense may work better.
