Cruelty-Free Beauty Brands

Cruelty free and vegan brands are becoming more and more popular as the years has gone by! If you don’t know what cruelty free means it simply means that companies do not test on animals!  Now days so many companies, Youtubers, and celebrities are coming out and talking about it. After researching a ton of cruelty-free brands for myself, I thought, I would share some of my ultimate favorite ones that are cruelty free, some are affordable, and very high quality.

I love that you can find tons of makeup brands from high to low that does not test on animals. So if you are searching for some new beauty brands why not try these 20.

Note:

One thing I learned as I researched, is if a makeup brand is sold in China its most likely tested on animals. China makes it a policy that if you sell in China you have to test on animals! So make sure you are looking at the back of your packaging to see where it is made!

1. Cover FX

I first fell in love with this makeup brand through my Ipsy bag with a matte face primer. It was so smooth and felt amazing on my skin. This company specializes in working with skin of all types. Cover FX’s Total Cover Cream Foundati0n is available in 28 shades which blows my mind!!! This brand is 100% vegan. Also try their new Cover Drops as your perfect highlight

2. Makeup Geek

I’ve been wanted to try Makeup Geek from sometime now! Their eyeshadows are exceptional! They have high quality formula for a cheap price! They also have blushes and vegan and cruelty-free brushes

I’ve just started hearing about It Cosmetics just a while back so I’m late to the bandwagon. However, this brand helps to not only cover but treat skin problems like rosacea. This company is mostly about a flawless base and also specializes in skincare too!
