Make-Up Bag Must Haves

Whether you’re a beauty novice or a professional MUA stocking up your makeup bag with essentials ranging from affordable drugstore finds to high end picks is the key to a flawless application. But what if I told you that you could have all that, and it still remain cruelty free?

Several of these brands such as Rare Beauty partake in PETAS ‘Global Beauty Without Bunnies’ programme, with all their products being 100% vegan. Their packaging is 100% recyclable with FSC-certified materials and water-based ink usage, thus emphasising how they prioritise sustainability. Every ingredient used contains 0% animal derived ingredients and they actively refuse animal testing at any stage of production.

Rare Beauty takes its cruelty free promise seriously—even going so far as to avoid selling in countries like mainland China, where animal testing is required by law. It’s a bold move that underscores the brand’s genuine commitment to animal welfare and ethical beauty.

How do I know if a product is cruelty free?

Shopping cruelty free has never been easier, simply check the back of a product and look for the PETA leaping bunny certificate. This symbol represents ethical methods in the producing and testing of these products.
