More and more people are turning to cruelty-free makeup to stand against animal testing in the cosmetic industry. If you're looking to switch up your beauty stash, here are a few options in different price ranges.
Makeup Geek
This makeup line created and owned by businesswoman and YouTuber Marlena Stell has found wild success. The line includes quality eyeshadows affordably priced at $6. Nothing has been tested on animals, but some blushes and eyeshadow contain carmine. Carmine is a red pigment derived from insects that prevents certain products and brands from being considered totally vegan.

ColourPop
ColourPop has taken the cosmetic industry by storm. Their Lippie Stix and matte liquid lipsticks can be seen all over social media. The ColourPop company and its lab Spatz Labs say they are cruelty free.

Wet n Wild
Wet n Wild prides itself in being completely cruelty free. They have some of my favorite single eyeshadows, blushes and lipsticks. On their site, they even have a list of their vegan products. Their new set of makeup brushes are vegan, cruelty-free and gluten free.

Too Faced Cosmetics
You might've heard of the infamous Chocolate Bar Palette or the Sweet Peach Palette (it smells like peaches!) Both are creations of the Too Faced company. It may be on the higher end of the price spectrum, but this company also does not test on animals.
