Your point? I would much rather use makeup that has not been tested on animals but unfortunately, choices are extremely limited.

+1! Totally keeping you in mind if I ever do a shoot that needs an MUA!

Yes agreed, after a day of intense googleing i have found  handful of pro quality brands that do not test on animals, even fewer that are vegan or organic.

I'm also very sad to find out the estee lauder group has been dropped by PETA earlier this year, I must have been living under a rock or something. But on a good note Urban Decays new naked foundation looks good x

LUSH have recently brought out a completely vegan make-up brand, which is multi-purpose. I own the red lipstick, and it is amazing.

Hope this helps.

Oh yes! I'm so happy Lush released a makeup line.

Nope! Recently. I bought the lipstick in August. It's called 'Emotional Brilliance'. https://www.lush.co.uk/emotionalbrilliance/ Link to website.

Yup! That is what I meant, but my words got mixed up! The lipstick I have is called 'Decisive', and it is awesome.

Naked Skin doesn't photograph very well though with flash. ):
I love it for everyday use though. It's so comfortable to wear.

Hi
I did a search but couldn't find much info.
I'm currently working with an organic skincare company, organic and vegan tanning company and would love to use an organic brand of make up that isn't a mineral. In particular foundations and eye products suitable for photographic use.

Anyone have any ideas? Im based in the UK so ideally looking for products avalible here x

I'm vegan and recently have really started to pay attention to make-up -- not just the vegan and cruelty-free aspect, but the fact that a lot of the ingredients in conventional make-up are straight up deadly (parabens, for example, are linked to cancer).

A woman who wears make-up daily absorbs 5 pounds (2.3kg) of chemicals in her body every year. I personally want to start making sure all those chemicals my body absorbs are organic, non-toxic, biodegradable...

If you're going to make statements about ingredients causing serious diseases (ie; cancer), please perform factual research and don't just repeat mis-information you've read on the internet.
Many of these demonized ingredients (like parabens) have NEVER been clinically proven to cause cancer or any other disease.

"Measurable concentrations of six different parabens have been identified in biopsy samples from breast tumors (Darbre, 2004). The particular parabens were found in relative concentrations that closely parallel their use in the synthesis of cosmetic products (Rastogi, 1995). Parabens have also been found in almost all urine samples examined from a demographically diverse sample of U.S. adults (Ye, 2006a).

Parabens are estrogen mimickers, with the potency of the agonistic response being related to the chemical structure (Darbre, 2008). They can bind to the cellular estrogen receptor (Routledge, 1998). They also increase the expression of many genes that are usually regulated by estradiol and cause human breast tumor cells (MCF-7 cells) to grow and proliferate in vitro (Byford, 2002; Pugazhendhi, 2007)."

- Breast Cancer Fund

Here are the facts – In 2004, Dr Philippa Darbre at the University of Reading published a study in the Journal of Applied Toxicology that said her group clinically tested 20 different human breast tumors and found parabens in all of them. Neither she nor anyone else could explain how they got there or why they were there. They also couldn’t say whether normal tissue contained naturally occurring parabens even when they were not exposed through external factors. This raised the possibility that the parabens (naturally occurring or induced) could have something to do with the cancer, but no one could explain what was going on. And since then, there still hasn’t been an explanation.
I REPEAT – since then, there has been no other clinical data supporting the claim that parabens are hazardous.

Many of the "studies" that people quote on the internet are based on probability or heresy, not scientific data collected under strick clinical conditions.  Until they can produce verified clinical evidence that these ingredients cause cancer, I'm not believing the hyperbole.

FACE atelier, my fav foundation, is vegan as is most of their line with the exception of the following noted in this excerpt from their site:
'FACE atelier products have not been tested on animals. We do not buy ingredients from vendors who test on animals, nor do our vendors buy from manufacturers who test on animals.

All products are vegan except for the following: eye shadows - metallic taupe, melon, pink chill, raspberry satin, iced amethyst, african violet, purple haze and azure; flamingo Lip Glaze; peach glaze Ultra Blush; pink glaze, aubergine and chilled berry Shimmers, and rubis and tango Lip Pencils.'
