It's time to ditch the animal-derived ingredients!
Years ago, it would've been hard to source vegan makeup. The rise in popularity of veganism means an increase in exclusively vegan brands. But there are also existing brands converting to the new lifestyle.
Keen to switch to a vegan makeup routine but unsure of where to start?
You can browse through 100% vegan brands, as well as those that carry vegan products (but aren't fully converted).
If you're interested, you can check out our comprehensive list of cruelty-free beauty brands but just keep in mind that "cruelty-free" is not the same as vegan.
Inika is a 100% natural beauty brand committed to using only the finest botanicals and minerals. The founders recognised a gap in the market for organic and natural makeup. Not only are the products free from toxins and cruelty, but they're also vegan.
Inika's philosophy is to create high performing makeup products that just so happen to be healthy for you and your skin. Some of the most popular products (that have also won awards) include the Long Lash Mascara and the BB cream.
In early 2020, Kat Von D Beauty became KVD Vegan Beauty and it's now no longer owned by the makeup mogul.
No matter the finer details, KVD Vegan Beauty is dedicated to creating high-performance makeup that is cruelty-free and 100% vegan. Not only does the brand support the environment, but KVD Vegan Beauty also encourages self-expression for all kinds of people. What product belongs on your shopping list? Without a doubt, the best-selling Tattoo Liner.
Mecca Max, Mecca's in-house brand, wasn't 100% vegan from the beginning. In mid 2018, the affordable beauty brand made the switch and committed to producing products that were 100% vegan and cruelty free.
These products are designed for experimentation, allowing you to have fun with makeup. And with the affordable price tag, how can you say no? One of our personal favourites includes the Life Proof Cream Concealer.
Cover FX follows a number of key principles. The products must be free from inflammatory ingredients and packed with vitamins, emollients and redness reducers – it's a great brand if you have sensitive skin.
Cover FX is also committed to 100% vegan beauty, and there's a huge variety of products available. If you're keen to try something from the brand, we recommend the popular Power Play foundation.
e.l.f Cosmetics wants you to look good and feel good at the same time. That's why the brand is fully committed to being 100% vegan and cruelty free. There's no guilt needed when using this affordable beauty brand.
The Poreless Putty Primer is one of the brand's most popular items and it's been reviewed (and loved) by makeup mogul Jeffree Star.
While The Body Shop is strictly cruelty-free, it isn't committed to 100% vegan. Although, the brand understands the market demand for vegan makeup.
There's a huge selection of makeup items that are made free from animal by-products, like the smoothing Fresh Nude Foundation or the colourful Lip Juicer.
100% Pure promises to provide you with 100% natural and organic cosmetics. While not all the items are vegan, they are still good for your skin.
One of the best-selling items on Nourished Life is the Pomegranate lipstick. This is just one of the many examples where the makeup brand uses antioxidant-packed fruit pigments to produce coloured cosmetics.
Charlotte Tilbury is a beauty brand with a focus on luxury. It's hard to resist the gorgeous packaging. While there's no testing on animals, not all of the products are vegan.
However, there is a great selection of Charlotte Tilbury vegan makeup. If you're after a high quality and vegan-friendly formula, you need to try the Matte Revolution lipsticks or the Cheek to Chic in the iconic Pillow Talk shade.
Lush is a brand that's synonymous with fresh cosmetics and ethical buying. While the products are 100% cruelty free and vegetarian, only a select few are vegan.
Alongside the array of Lush's beauty products, the vegan makeup section is pretty exciting. We recommend checking out all the different makeup brushes and the beautiful Skin Tints.
While Tarte is dedicated to 100% cruelty-free, not all of the products are vegan. You can check out the makeup selection here and luckily, the iconic and best-selling Shape Tape formula is included. If you're still yet to try something from the brand, this has to be it!
Unfortunately, Tarte can't guarantee that any ingredients or products are produced in an allergen free environment. That's why the products are labelled as vegan-friendly, rather than vegan.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
