Cruelty-free beauty brands are more popular now than ever. Because seriously, why should our makeup routines hurt our furry friends? We’ve selected our favorite cruelty-free makeup products for a complete, year-round look that you can rock from home, the office, or during a night on the town.
8 Things You Need To Improve Your Cruelty-Free Makeup Routine
Smashbox The Original Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer
If you have large pores or fine lines and hate the way your foundation melts by lunchtime, consider this primer. It’s lightweight and silky, and gives your face a more even texture while giving your liquid or powder foundation something to hang onto. This formula is free of fragrances, parabens, and talc, too! And as an added bonus, Smashbox even recommends you try a little in your hair to tame frizziness!
BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream
Imagine a BB cream, CC cream, and a moisturizer combined. That’s this cruelty-free makeup product! It’s lightweight enough to wear alone but it can also be layered for more coverage in place of a foundation. The best part? It has SPF 30 so your beautiful face is always protected!
FitCover Active Mineral Powder Foundation
Rainy days and intense sweat sessions at the gym are no match for this 100% natural, Aussie-made, talc-free mineral foundation. It’s waterproof and sweatproof! It doubles as a concealer and has SPF 15. But wait, there’s more! The mica it contains gives skin a lasting, gorgeous glow.

The Balm Bahama Mama Bronzer
If the adorable retro pin-up girl packaging’s not enough, ticket to slightly sun-kissed and contoured. Add a little around your hairline and just beneath your cheekbones and blend for a little extra color. Life hack: Bronzers can help you balance out a foundation shade that’s a shade too light for your skin tone. You know, when you buy one foundation shade that just isn’t quite right? Yeah, we’ve all been there.

Too Faced Sweethearts Blush
Three shades in one? Yes, please! Blend all three colors or use them individually for a variety of looks. Inspired by stained glass, it’s like adding a piece of artwork to your makeup bag. With its peachy, pink charm, this baked blush formula breathes life back into those cheeks and blends wonderfully with bronzers and highlighters alike.
The Balm Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter
This highlighter comes in a mirror compact, so you can pop on a bit of glow on the go! It provides a subtle, dewy finish to any look while not being over-the-top glittery. The champagne color works well with a variety of skin tones and is the perfect way to give your face more dimension and glow!

e.l.f Instant Lift Brow Pencil
This brand is incredibly affordable and available in pharmacies and makeup stores, unlike many cruelty-free makeup brands. This pencil comes with a brush on one end to help blend and tame those brows so they are always #onfleek.
Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara
OK, so we wouldn’t go that far but this stuff is good. It’s just not better. If you’re looking for a mascara that promises volume, length, curl, and conditioning look no further! This mascara comes equipped with a large, contoured brush that provides even coverage without the clumps. And when you’re ready to get some shut-eye, it’s easy to remove and doesn’t cause lash loss or damage.
Your makeup routine doesn’t have to take hours and lots of thought. With cruelty-free makeup from respected brands, you’ll feel good about what you’re wearing and that will shine through. Confidence is sexy, too. Rock it, girl.
