The make-up industry is one of the biggest contributors to animal cruelty, but that doesn't mean that you should abstain from make-up completely. Here's a list of brands that are vegan and vegan-friendly that you can shop from instead. So if you've been thinking of making the switch to conscious fashion choices, check out these brands.

P.S: Vegan brands are those that don't use any animal or animal-derived products in their make-up products, while vegan-friendly brands are essentially cruelty-free make-up brands that also have a few vegan products. 


Disguise Cosmetics

This Indian brand does amazing lipsticks, is PETA-certified 100% vegan, and is pretty affordable as well. There are quite a few shades, too, but only the pretty basic ones (if you're looking for shades like lavender and teal, you'll be disappointed.)
