There are two things in life I am truly passionate about and that is my love for animals and my love for makeup. But, unfortunately those two tend to conflict with each other. Many people are not even aware that the products they love are coming from companies who are abusing and traumatizing innocent animals. My love for animals inspires me to only use products from companies that are cruelty free. Although there are some novelty brands such as, MAC and Revlon that we have to put to the side while going cruelty free there comes the opportunity to explore other brands both high end and drugstore that are cruelty free. Here are some of my favorites:

Drugstore:

-Wet'N'Wild

-Milani Cosmetics

-Pixi Beauty

-NYX

-E.L.F

High-End:

-Too Faced

-Anastasia Beverly Hills

-BECCA

-IT Cosmetics

-Makeup Geek

There are many more companies online such as, Lush and Colourpop, for you to try out, as well. With proof from all of these brands that it is possible to be a successful makeup company, there is proof that it takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal. Today's world is filled with so many options allowing you to choose what you stand for and what you support you just have to open your mind as well as your heart. You may think that by you, one person, not contributing to the companies who test on animals will not change the world. But, as you change, someone will be inspired by you and then someone will be inspired by them and so on. Ultimately, spreading awareness and making a change. Many people are constantly expressing their love for animals and are against animal cruelty, so if you truly don't like animals being abused and killed, stop paying people to do this exact thing.
