Animal testing paints a horrible picture for all of us. It not only shows the horrible side of the beauty industry, it also shows how far people would go for convenience. The hardest thing to understand for most people, is why? Why do companies still test on animals when there is a sea of cruelty-free makeup out there that are actually really good?

We love companies that actually go all out to use vegan and all-natural ingredients as well. Trust us, all of these brands are fantastic and worth every penny. Support the cruelty-free makeup industry with these Top 10 Vegan or Cruelty-Free Makeup Brands That Are Amazing!

#4 JANE IREDALE

We love Jane Iredale for her natural makeup products that have really nourishing skincare qualities, making it an all-in-one product. The products in her line are generally very ‘natural’ and ‘fresh’, giving you the ‘no makeup makeup look’, but she also has some shimmery and colourful items that you can play around with.
