Over the past few years, more and more
people are becoming vegan; I even have a few friends who have been vegan for a
while now. A common misconception with veganism is that it’s only a diet and
about what you eat, however being vegan is in face a lifestyle choice. With the
increase in people choosing to get vegan, more brands are becoming cruelty free
too. Although there are a lot of vegan beauty brands, a lot of the main ones
that would most likely spring to mind (Maybelline, MAC, Bobbi Brown) do in fact
test on animals. So I’ve compiled some of my favourite vegan beauty brands and
their best sellers!
KAT
VON D
Kat Von D is renowned for her vast array
of talents (as a tattoo artist, model and musician), however one of her biggest
and latest achievements is launching KVD Beauty exclusively with Sephora. Some
of the best-sellers are the Tattoo Lock It foundation and concealer, the Shade
and Light palette, Tattoo liner and last but not least, the everlasting liquid
lipstick. I myself have recently delved into KVD Beauty and so far, so good –
I’m impressed!
NARS
Nars has definitely gone up the ranks
with me and has become one of my favourite makeup brands in general, in
addition to being one of my vegan makeup brand picks. They’re base products are
definitely some to reckon with – consisting of great quality, shade range and
longevity Nars pretty much has all bases covered. A couple of my beloved Nars
products are the Sheer Glow foundation and the Radiant Creamy Concealer. Nars
is definitely a brand that I tend to gravitate towards when I want a lovely
high end product that delivers every time.
REAL
TECHNIQUES
Makeup artists and YouTubers Sam and Nic
Chapman have done a complete 180 when it comes to amazing quality brushes at an
affordable price. Unlike brushes that are made up of real fibres, RT brushes
are great not only for powder products, but also liquid and cream products. Being
synthetic brushes, they are a lot easier to clean and restore to the bristles’
original colour. Real Techniques brushes make up the majority of my makeup
brushes, as I know exactly what I’m getting, as they are hugely reliable and
definitely stand the test of time!
COVER
FX
In my opinion, Cover FX is an underrated
brand, but nevertheless, one that I have loved for years now. The first product
I ever tried from Cover FX is their CC Tinted Moisturiser back in ’14. Nowadays
with highlighting being so engrossed in many makeup routines, their current
best seller is the Custom Enhancer Drops, designed to wear underneath, mix into
or wear on top of your base as a highlighter to give you an all-over healthy
glow. When it comes to Cover FX, my
favourites are most definitely their base products!
