We’re talking about veganism but don’t worry, we’re not going to cram it down your throat. Instead, we’ve rounded up some of the best vegan beauty products to slather on your face. (There’s a difference, you see?)
Makeup lovers are increasingly becoming just as conscious about what they put in their makeup bag as they do on their plates. The good news is that vegan and cruelty free (meaning it’s not tested on animals) beauty has come in leaps and bounds over the last few years.
Whether you’re vegan or not, these cult buys and must haves are all products that genuinely deserve a place in your makeup bag.
1. The liquid lipstick that can withstand the messiest meals.
Make-up guru and celebrity tattooist Kat Von D has a range that boasts a number of great vegan products, but her Everlasting Liquid Lipstick, $30 is a cult favourite for a reason. The formula won’t budge and it comes in a whole array of colours, from subtle nudes to bolds.
2. The foundation that will last through whatever the day (or night) throws at you.
There's a reason the Designer Brands Longwear 24 Hour Foundation, $14.95 constantly rates comparisons to the exxy foundations. It's long-wearing, doesn't cake and includes Aloe Vera extract to keep skin nice and soft.
3. The eyeshadow palette that's just as good for beginners as it is pros.
With an array of matte and shimmers, the Garbo and Kelly Overnight Sensation Eyeshadow Palette, $70 is the perfect mix of everyday with pops of colour.
4. The highlighter you can see from outer space.
Make the astronauts jealous with the Sleek Cosmetics Highlighting Palette in Solstice, $24.95. It suits even the palest of skin tones and gives you options for intense highlight thanks to the inclusion of both powder and cream.
