THE 10 BEST VEGAN MAKE UP BRANDS TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION
More and more of us are choosing to live – or at least experiment with – a vegan lifestyle. And while that predominantly involves diet and the way you dress, you shouldn’t forget your beauty products too!
{Vegan make up} is free from animal-derived products and by-products, and to be truly vegan and cruelty-free, it must not be tested on animals either. You can sometimes tell if a product is vegan and cruelty-free from the packaging - look out for a ‘V’ sign and a leaping bunny icon! But it won’t always be crystal clear.
To make things easy for you, we’ve created this list of the 10 best vegan make up brands for you to add to your collection. Every product from each of these brands is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, so you can rest easy knowing that no animals have been harmed in the making of your {make up}.
