21 Best Vegan Makeup Brands

Best Vegan Makeup Brands

In the last few years, it seems more beauty brands are becoming vegan in the hopes of creating healthier and higher-quality makeup products. Most cosmetics include animal byproducts such as beeswax, carmine (made from crushed Cochineal beetle), and lanolin (a wax-like material secreted from sheep). While vegan makeup doesn’t include any animal-derived ingredients, it’s important to note that vegan does not necessarily equal cruelty-free, which means the products were not tested on animals. If you’re interested in vegan cruelty-free makeup such as foundation, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick, lip balm or concealer, you’ll want to look for the Leaping Bunny or PETA logo on the packaging.

With so many beauty companies and cosmetics manufacturers, it can be a challenge finding ethical brands that make vegan makeup products that are also cruelty-free. To help you find quality cosmetics that are safe for your skin and body, we’ve compiled a list of the best vegan makeup brands to try right now. From Kat Von D to Charlotte Tilbury to Milk, these popular cosmetic companies make some of the top vegan makeup that is animal-friendly.
