A Guide to Vegan Makeup!

Doing my makeup is one of my favourite things - it's relaxing and fun - it's my me time! However, to enjoy it, I need to ensure all of the products I use are animal-friendly! There's no way I want my self-love time to contribute to animals' suffering.

All the makeup I use is both vegan-friendly and cruelty-free (genuinely free from animal testing, none of that fake cruelty-free propaganda - L'Oréal, I'm looking at you!).

Below I've listed vegan-friendly and cruelty-free makeup products available in NZ (either in physical stores or via online shopping), and I'll continue adding more! My favourite products have a star on them.

Note: All of the products I've listed are made by brands listed in the NZAVS Cruelty Free Guide - this gives me confidence that the brands I'm supporting are 100% free from animal testing.
