According to PETA’s latest report, there are still over 250 cosmetic brands that test on animals. But Business of Fashion also stated that this is about to change as the beauty world is planning to lean towards the cruelty-free route. Not only is this good news for the small lab rabbits, but the consumers will also get the best out of their products and not get possible skin irritation.
These days, some makeup junkies don’t just think of which products give them the best pigment and quality. It’s also important for them to support cruelty-free brands. It seems difficult to spot which brands are cruelty-free, which is why we made this short list for you. Go grab a product or two to save the bunnies.
Pixi Beauty
Makeup artist and brand creator Petra Strand started Pixi Beauty to “bring out the natural beauty in all women” with “skin-loving products.” Their makeup items like the ItsEyeTime eyeshadow palette and the Multibalm promise great pay-off. You can also find skincare products like the Vitamin Glow Mist, which you can use as a setting spray for that natural dewy skin effect. Available at SM Makati.
Makeup Revolution
This brand may be getting a bad rep for duping Kat Von D’s palette and other makeup brands. However, beauty vloggers have great reviews about Makeup Revolution‘s quality and affordable price. If you’re looking for an intense glow, grab their Vivid Baked Highlighter. For on-point contouring, there’s the Ultra Contour Palette. They have a wide range for all your full-face makeup needs. Available online.
NYX Cosmetics
We bet you already have a tube of NYX‘s Lingerie or Lip Creme in your makeup bag. Be glad to know that they’re also cruelty-free. So don’t feel bad about getting that 10th lipstick shade because it’s definitely safe to use. Available at SM Makati.
Wet N Wild
Wet N Wild has been getting lots of love recently for their MegaGlo Highlighting Powder and Au Naturel Palette. They’re praised for being one of the most affordable brands out there—to give you an idea, you can find them at Target. The brand also prides itself for being the go-to brand for “all ages, ethnicities, skin colors, and economic statuses.” Available on Beauty MNL.
J. Cat Beauty
When it comes to vibrant colors, J. Cat Beauty isn’t playing around. Their Pout-Holic Lipstick and Lipfinity Matte Lip has colors from nudes to bright purple. Their eye shadows are also pigmented, which dares you to mix and match for any time of the day. Available at Uptown Mall.
Milk Makeup
Milk Makeup‘s FAQs page already indicates that they don’t test on animals and are paraben-free. They mostly have easy-to-use products like the Blur Stick and Cooling Water, which are used as makeup bases. Other products like bronzers and highlighter also come in stick form for quick and easy application. Available online.
Anastasia Beverly Hills
You can’t say no to ABH‘s line of intense highlighters like the Moonchild Glow Kit. This brand is on the high-end side, but it’s worth the buck if it’s good for you, right? Available online.
BECCA
Another brand known for their highlighters is BECCA. Champagne Pop, along with their other Shimmering Skin Perfector compacts, give you the right glow and pay-off you need. Cult Beauty also notes that their Backlight Targeted Colour Corrector can really conceal blemishes and dark spots. Available on Sephora PH.
