The Best Cruelty Free Makeup Brands

Kat Von D Beauty


Kat Von D is a world famous tattoo artist, and she has a fantastic makeup range too. If you like matte products then you have to try the eyeshadow palette. Her range is perfect for all people as it includes neutral everyday tones and bolder shades for evening looks. There’s also a great collection of liquid lipsticks and the company are currently transitioning to become a fully vegan organization and have tools such as makeup wipes to make life easier for you. 


Urban Decay


Urban Decay is owned by L’Oreal, but it’s a cruelty free subgroup of the global company. They are known for their bold and edgy shades, but also have a great neutral collection too. Try their primer potion which is perfect for oily eyelids and the all night setting mist will keep your makeup looking great for hours. It’s important to note that while Urban Decay is cruelty free, L’Oreal still tests on animals. 


Becca


This growing makeup group is owned by beauty giants Estee Lauder. They have an extensive range of makeup, but are known for their bases and highlighters. If you want to find the perfect shades for your skin type, then it’s likely Becca will have it. The color correctors are fantastic for covering up redness or dark eye circles. If you have sallow or dull skin, try the lavender corrector. Overall, we can’t fault the beautiful foundations and easy-to-use primers.


Josie Maran


If you’re looking for makeup with a luxurious feel, then you can’t go wrong with Josie Maran. Their range is perfect for achieving the natural look and the products are reasonably priced. The cheek, face and lip products contain pure Argan oil and all of their ingredients lean towards natural sources. The extensive collection even includes hair treatments for the full beauty experience. 


Cover FX


You’ve probably heard of Cover FX and it surprised us to find all their products are 100% cruelty free! If you suffer from conditions such as acne or rosacea then Cover FX is the perfect choice. Their foundations and concealers are made for difficult skin and can cover up redness. Choose from 28 foundation shades and enjoy the incredible effects this makeup has on your skin. We should make you aware that all Cover FX makeup is vegan but the brushes may contain animal hairs.


Bite


Bite focuses on lip colors and they have an array of bold shades to choose from. They don’t test on animals and mostly use natural ingredients. However, they aren’t a vegan company as they use beeswax in their lipsticks. They use less synthetics and harmful ingredients than most other brands and you can find some great colors.


IT Cosmetics


IT Cosmetics are also owned by L’Oreal and they focus on foundations and bases. Jamie Kern Lima created the range to improve common skin conditions such as rosacea. Not all the products are vegan so make sure you examine the ingredients before purchasing. 


Nudestix


If you’re a fan of the “less is more” approach, then you’ll love Nudestix. The brand focuses on subtle and neutral tones to enhance facial features. It’s perfect for an everyday look and popular with young women. The collection of crayon style makeups are fun, unique and easy to use.

Remember, this is only a guide and companies continue to change. Make sure you check the ingredients and look for the leaping bunny logo.
