As we all know, many makeup brands choose to engage in animal testing. This practice is both cruel and unnecessary. Luckily, some makeup brands have chosen to remain cruelty-free and only engage in ethical practices. After researching several makeup brands, I've come up with a list of 10 completely cruelty-free brands. I was sure to include both higher-end makeup brands as well as brands that you can pick up at your local drug store.

1. Cargo Cosmetics

Cargo Cosmetics is cruelty-free and does not contract with third parties who participate in animal testing. This cosmetic line is full of bronze colors and pretty pastels that are perfect for creating a nice summery glow!

2. PÜR The Complexion Authority

Not only is PÜR cruelty-free, they also offer a variety of paraben-free, gluten-free, BPA-free, alcohol and talc-free, and vegan-friendly products. PÜR offers mineral-based makeup and skincare solutions.

3. 100% Pure

All cosmetics made by 100% Pure are made with natural ingredients and are only chemically altered through natural processes including fermentation, distillation, and cold processing. The cosmetics are colored with fruits, vegetables, teas, and other plant pigments. It doesn't get more natural than this!

4. Physician's Formula

Physician's Formula is cruelty-free and also offers some vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and organic products. This makeup line is my go-to because the products are high-quality and reasonably priced. You can also find Physician's Formula at your local drug store.

5. e.l.f

e.l.f cosmetics engage in cruelty-free practices. This is an inexpensive makeup brand that offers a wide array of products. e.l.f can also be found at your local drug store.

8. Marc Jacobs Beauty

Marc Jacobs Beauty products are not tested on animals and the products are not sold in China. Many of the products in this line are vegan-friendly, however, some products contain beeswax and carmine.The entire line is also free of parabens.

9. LipSense

LipSense was created by the company SeneGence, which is cruelty-free, and free of packages to be more eco-friendly. This makeup brand creates amazing long-lasting glosses! The company also raises and contributes funds for women and children in need.
