My Favourite Cruelty Free Beauty Brands

5:00 PM

If you have seen my last few posts, you would have noticed that I have been talking a lot about cruelty free makeup and beauty. I have explained it before, so I am not going to go in to too much detail, but long story short, I love animals, and the thought of any of them getting harmed really annoys me! So I have been doing research on some cruelty free makeup, and thought I would share my top favourite cruelty free brands!

INSTANT EFFECTS

I got to know about this brand a few months ago, when they kindly sent me some products to review, and I have been obsessed with their brand ever since. They are 100% cruelty free, and they work! The lip plumper is the best I have ever tried, the eye cream is magical and the lash serum makes your lashes and brows very long and thick!

TOO FACED

I feel like this is an obvious one, since I am always using their products and sharing photos of their products on my Instagram. Not only are they amazing for your skin, because they include skin loving ingredients, but they are such high quality, and they have such a good range of products.

BLANK CANVAS COSMETICS

I first started using this brand last Christmas, after receiving some of their goodies as a Christmas present. I was not expecting anything huge to be honest, but these are some of the best brushes that I have ever used. They are so soft, and easy to work with. They do such a good job at evenly applying and blending out makeup, so they are perfect for even professional makeup!

CLARINS

I was so happy to find out Clarins were cruelty free. They have some of my favourite products, their concealer and foundations are so good! Such a good brand, and 100% cruelty free!

BARE MINERALS

Like the Too Faced, if you have been here for a while, you seen this coming. This is one of my top 3 favourite brands. Their cosmetics are so good for your skin, so pure, and very high quality. When my skin is going through a hard time, I always resort back to this, and within three days, the original foundation clears up my skin! A really amazing brand to try out!

THE BALM

This is a high end brand, which is not extremely expensive, but so good! Their highlights are amazing, especially Mary Lou! So happy this is another brand that does not test on animals!

URBAN DECAY

I have been buying Urban Decay since I was about 13 or 14, so if they weren't cruelty free, I would be pretty upset! Thankfully, they are cruelty free, and their products are amazing. Their new All Nighter foundation is my new favourite, and the Naked palettes, are just a holy grail staple in so many peoples makeup collection, including mine!

TESTING OUT CRUELTY FREE MAKEUP / Full Face Makeup Look

5:00 PM

As most of you will know already, I love animals. I have dogs myself, and I love them to bits. I hate to admit it, but so much of the makeup that I use, is not cruelty free. Although I am not going full cruelty free, yet, I thought I would do a full face of makeup, using only cruelty free makeup. I love all of these brands, and I really love the fact that they are all cruelty free. I have researched this, but if I am using anything that is not cruelty free, please let me know!

This is a really simple, and natural look. I didn't want to do anything intense, but something that everyone could do! Let me know what you think of this!

I started of the look with Bare Minerals Bare Skin Foundation. This is a gorgeous foundation. It is very build able, and I was able to get a full coverage finish, in a very short amount of time. It feels lovely on your skin, and it lasts such a long time. I really liked this, and will definitely use it again!

I then used Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer, which I was very happy to find out was cruelty free. You can read my whole review on this product here. I used this under my eyes, chin, bridge of my nose, and centre of the forehead, my shade is Fair Neutral.

Next, I set my face using the Blank Canvas Cosmetics Contour palette, using the yellow toned powder all over my face. I then took my Beauty Blender and applied the white powder under my eyes and anywhere I applied the concealer.

To contour, I used Sleek Face Form Palette in Light. I took the contour shade and lightly sweeped it under my cheekbones, jawline, forehead, and sides of the nose. I didn't go too harsh with the contour.

For my blush, I used one of my favourites, Physicians Formula Happy Booster in Rose. It is a beautiful pink shade, that complements so many different skin tones. Its very blend-able and looks gorgeous on your skin.

To highlight, I used Too Faced Champagne Truffle, this is technically an eyeshadow, but right now, it is my favourite highlight shade. Too Faced is completely cruelty free, and this shade is stunning.

For my brows, I used the Ardell Mechanical Brow pencil*. I didn't really get on with this. Its very waxy and just too soft. It smudges everywhere, and makes it very hard to create really sharp and precise brows.

For my eyes, I used the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette. I used the shades White Chocolate to highlight my brow bone and inner corner, Salted Caramel in the crease and all over the lid, and Semi Sweet on the outer corner and lower lash line. I then took the Urban Decay / Gwen Stefani Palette and applied Pop in the inner half of my eye. All of these shadows are amazing, and they are definitely some of my all time favourites.

For my mascara, I don't know if L'Oreal is 100% cruelty free, but I did see a quote from them saying that they don't test on animals, however, I have heard many different opinions on this. Anyway, I used the Miss Manga mascara, then the Miss Hippie mascara to my lashes.

I also lined my water line with the Bare Minerals Eternal Bronze liner. Then finished by applying Bare Minerals Lip Gloss in Wow Factor.
