Thanksgiving was last week. Which means, so was Black Friday. There will be hundreds of brands participating in Black Friday sales, and lots of them will be makeup brands and companies. Here is a list of some cruelty-free makeup brands that will be offering sweet deals, so you can spend your dollars wisely.

Bite Beauty

Bite Beauty is famous for their popular lip products, including lip masks and treatments along with lipsticks and glosses. On their website, Bite has a shade finder, so you can find which color works best for you, along with the perfect finish and tone you want for your product. It’s a great way to try before you buy, especially when ordering online.

 

ColourPOP

      ColourPOP is a brand famous for their quality products and affordable prices. One of my favorite ColourPOP products is their Midnight Masquerade collection, which was a partnership with Disney. The eyeshadow palates and lipsticks in the collection were inspired by Disney characters and themes from the films, and the inspiration for the colors came from conceptual drawings of Disney heroines dressed in elegant versions of their trademark outfits, like they are heading to a masquerade ball. 

 

e.l.f.

         e.l.f. is one of the best brands if you want beauty on a budget. They have a great range of beauty products and also beauty applicators at a super cheap price. Almost all of the beauty tools I have are from e.l.f., they work great and they are nice and affordable. 

 

Physician’s Formula

         If you’re someone with sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, or you want beauty products that have formulas that are hypoallergenic and are tailor-made to help certain skin conditions, Physician’s Formula is the brand for you. They have a team of doctors working together to make products that combat certain needs of the skin, from Vitamin C facial oil sticks to primer that hides acne scars and blemishes. If you’re looking for skin-specific products that are doctor approved, check out Physician’s Formula products available in most drugstores. 

 

Urban Decay

         Urban Decay is famous for their eyeshadow palattes, as well as lip products and face products. They are a cruelty free brand, and they also offer products that are 100% vegan, such as their setting spray, brow gel, glitter eyeliner, and their bronzer and setting powder. You can also chat with a beauty advisor on their website to make sure you’re finding products that will suit your skin as well as your goals for ethical consumption. 

 

Check out any websites or in-store deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and rest assured that you’re taking advantage of good deals on your beauty products without taking advantage of our fuzzy friends. Be excited for next year’s Black Friday!
