Finding vegan makeup brands can be difficult in an industry that commonly uses animal products in their collections. So, here’s 6 different vegan makeup brands to get you started! The best part is, most of these brands are ethical and sustainable too! What have you got to lose?
Created by the former chief chemist at MAC, there’s no doubt that Cover FX’s products are of the best quality available. PETA certified and free of parabens, gluten, mineral oil, talc and fragrance; there are only good ingredients in this vegan makeup brand. Their products are also customisable, allowing you to add glitter, matte finishes or illumination to your new favourite products. Their foundation range boasts 40 shades with 3 different undertones, so there will definitely be a product that’s perfect for you. Cover FX is also famously known for their iconic highlight drops, which will give you the most intense highlight ever.
You might not already know this, but Elf Cosmetics’ entire collection is completely vegan. Using quality ingredients to create products that are affordable, Elf Cosmetics does not conduct any animal testing for their products either. Their Studio brush sets are made from Taklon, which is a vegan, synthetic and anti-bacterial alternative to animal hair brushes. Elf Cosmetics’ baked highlighters and concealers are to die for, and the fact that they’re a vegan makeup brand will make you love them even more.
If you’re a lipstick addict (like I am), you need to give Axiology a try. They provide a wide range of lip balms, creams and lipsticks; which are all vegan, gluten-free, palm oil-free and soy-free. If you’re looking for something a little different, Axiology has you covered. Their shade ranges goes from classic cherry reds to jet black. To make this vegan makeup brand even better, their packaging is recyclable and they constantly donate a portion of their profits to animal welfare organisations. You’ll never feel guilty for buying way too many lipsticks from Axiology.
Family-owned and based in the UK, PHB Ethical Beauty is one of the best ethical and vegan makeup brands out there. Their cutting-edge formulas have won 25 industry awards in the past 5 years. Need I say more? Their handmade products are vegan, gluten-free, palm oil-free and work on sensitive skin. 20% of their profits are donated to charities, so be sure to give PHB Ethical Beauty a try when you next go shopping.
Much like Elf Cosmetics, few people know that Jeffree Star Cosmetics’ entire collection is vegan and cruelty-free too! Jeffree Star Cosmetics has one of the most diverse shade ranges in their products; with their velour liquid lipstick shades ranging from nudes to reds, and even to greens blues and purples. Their liquid lipstick formulas are also eye-safe, allowing you to create crazy makeup looks to your heart’s desire!
Created by two sisters in 2007, Eco Tools provides a wide range of makeup brushes and sponges that are vegan and PETA certified. Many other makeup brands use animal hair in their brushes, unlike Eco Tools, who use synthetic and anti-bacterial fibres. Their products are made from recycled aluminium and plastic, and their packaging is also 100% organic and recycled, using 20% recycled cotton and 80% bamboo fibres. It gets even better; Eco Tools donates a portion of their profits to projects that support women’s empowerment. Their brushes are also incredibly affordable, so why not give them a try?
