My Favorite Vegan and Cruelty-Free Makeup Products

Many of you have been asking for a list of my favorite vegan and cruelty-free makeup products. I’ve spent a lot of time finding all my fave beauty products and none of them are tested on animals OR contain animal products. Today’s post, I share with you my go-to, everyday vegan and cruelty-free makeup products I could not live without.

Let me just say, I l-o-v-e makeup. I love watching makeup videos on YouTube, searching for new vegan and cruelty-free makeup brands online (and in Sephora), and experimenting with new makeup finds. I actually went two years where my “makeup” of choice was coconut oil during my Master’s in Belgium. I still don’t wear makeup everyday – like on the weekends – you gotta let your skin BREATHE sometimes, but most days (let’s be honest!) I do.

As you already know if you’re on my blog, I’m vegan (meaning: I don’t consume anything that comes from an animal, and yes – that includes Fish – you’d be surprised how much I get asked that!). But being vegan for me is not just about the food (even though it is a lot about the food). It also means, I choose not to participate in purchasing leather, going to the zoo, AND buying cosmetics that were tested on animals or contain animal products. Can you believe that even dogs and cats are used in animal testing?

AND lucky for makeup addicts everywhere, there are SO many beautiful, high-quality vegan and cruelty-free makeup brands out there. Buying vegan makeup is fun and maybe even a little too easy (says that girl with basically has a subscription to Sephora, lol!).

Here are a few of my favorite vegan and cruelty-free makeup LOOKS. During the week at the office, I love a natural look and when going out I love an all out G-L-A-M look (because, why not?).

You can imagine how I almost fell off my chair when she told me she’s transitioning her makeup bag to ALL cruelty products. Can I get a h-e-l-l YAH?!

Here we go! My top vegan and cruelty-free makeup products.
