NK!
Testing on animals is not cool and with so many
amazing, animal loving make up brands on the
market right now there's no excuse for choosing
cosmetic cruelty. We rounded up our top picks from
the high street and high end.
A drug store staple, NYX is everything we love in a
make-up brand - lots of glitter, ten varieties of eyeliner
and low, low price tags. The New York based giants
recently made their way into Boots stores across
the UK, and provide brightly coloured essentials and
going out glam for any occasion. A lot of their range
is also vegan! We love their Vivid Brights liquid
eyeliner pens, just £5.50.
If you've got extra spending money this month,
treat yourself to an Urban Decay palette. You won't
regret it! Known for their quirky collaborations and
pigmented shadows, Urban Decay are an animal
friendly brand for the more adventurous make up
lover. We're adding the gorgeous Moondust
palette (£36) to our wish list.
By now we've all pretty much accepted Anastasia
as Queen of the eyebrow, but her range covers all
bases. Highlighters, liquid lipsticks and contour kits
are all available through the ABH website and come
at no cost to our furry friends. Start your collection
with the timeless Brow Wiz, just £15.50.
If you were a teen girl in the early 00's, you'll
remember spending your pocket money on neon
glitter and fluorescent lipstick from the Barry M stand
in Superdrug. Fast forward a few years and the range
is a little more sophisticated, offering gorgeous nude
lip liners and lipsticks that will take you from day to
night with ease. (Hot pink lip gloss is still stocked
though, don't panic.) Our personal fave is the Matte
Me Up lip pain, retailing at only £4.99.
lllamasqua has a really luxe feel to it, without the
jaw-dropping price tag, and that's something we
are always here for. Combine this with their zero
tolerance to animal cruelty policy and we're on to a
winner! The brand offers a wide range of cosmetics,
from their famous foundations to eccentric lip shades.
We're big fans of the Skin Base foundation (£32.50).
Available exclusively at Superdrug, Gosh is the
hidden gem amongst cruelty free brands that you
really need to hear about. With such a wide variety of
shades, formulas and products available, Gosh have
something for every skin type and every taste.The
Boombastic mascara (£8.49) is our personal pick from
the range.
