e.l.f.
In case you were wondering, e.l.f. stands for “eyes,” “lips,” and “face.” This animal-free makeup brand is especially affordable and easy to find. This brand carries an array of beauty products in many different colors, tones, and pigments. Their Intense Ink Eyeliner is not only animal-free, but glides easily onto your eyes.

Au Naturale

Au Naturale prides itself on using all natural ingredients in their makeup products, specifically creating makeup that feels light and comfortable to wear.
Their makeup selection is wider than their name might suggest to some. Not only do they carry more natural tones of eyeshadow, but products like the Swipe-On Essential eye pencil come in a rainbow of colors.
Plus, their High Lustre lip gloss will have your lips looking more irresistible than ever!
Sugarpill
Sugarpill is an unconventional and mostly animal-free makeup brand. “Unique” is the best way to describe the spectrum of metallic to matte makeup colors and pigments this brand creates.
All of the animal-free makeup products are marked with a pink “vegan” sign. The “about” section of Sugarpill’s main site claims that “by offering a beautiful selection of cruelty-free cosmetics – most of them vegan – [Sugarpill hopes] to show people how fun and easy it is to make animal-friendly choices.”
If you’re looking for a makeup brand that truly cares about being animal-free, this is one you’ll cherish – just pay attention and buy the ones marked with the pink “vegan” sign.
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics is an animal-free makeup brand that is a favorite among vegans and animal lovers. This brand has been vegan and cruelty-free since 2004.
Because Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics is totally vegan, their cosmetics do not contain lanolin, carmine, or beeswax like other cosmetics do. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics’s website claims that “you need not necessarily be aligned with animal rights issues to reap the benefits of a vegan cosmetic line” because animal products are allergenic and skin reactive.
This vegan beauty line’s products come in an assortment of colors and tones you won’t find elsewhere!
