Best Cruelty-Free Makeup Brands

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCD chapter.

An interesting fact about me is that I only use beauty products that have not been tested on animals. I am a firm believer that the cosmetic industry should not use animal testing to produce products. Makeup is not essential for us to live. Is an animal’s life really worth your “on-fleek” eyebrows or glowing cheekbones? Here are a list of my favorite beauty brands that pride themselves in testing cruelty-free.

Anastasia Beverly Hills

Best known for their eyebrow products, Anastasia Beverly Hills can be found at in stores or online at Ulta, Sephora, and many more.
