We don't have to look good at the expense of animals. Say no to animal testing!

If you've ever owned a pet rabbit, hamster, cat or dog, you would know love and you would want to protect them!

Makeup may look all pretty and glamorous but the process of making it isn't all that great. Before hitting the shelves, cosmetics have to go through stringent tests to ensure that their products are safe for mass production~ One of the most common processes is none other than animal testing.

What's the difference between cruelty-free and vegan products, though? Well, cruelty-free means no animal testing is done while vegan means there's no animal-based ingredients. Not every cosmetic brand or line abide by this two so when we do find one, you know that it's a brand worth supporting. Let's check out 6 of these brands we can readily find in Singapore!

 1. NYX

Not only are their lippies available in both natural and vibrant shades, their concealers are also to die for.

 2. KAT VON D

Besides being best known for their killer tattoo liner, Kat Von D is also famous because of its founder. Kat Von D herself is a huge advocate for all things-vegan and we're not surprised that all of her makeup line's products are vegan and cruelty-free too!

Be it a lippie, eyeliner, foundation or eyebrow pomade, you can shop till you drop here and still look good and feel good about what you use!

Kat Von D's products can be found in all Sephora stores.

 3. TOO FACED

We can't get enough of these peaches! Too Faced is one of our all-time favourite brands ever and it's not difficult to guess why~ Their pigmented palette are marvellously scented and we suspect one of our editors is addicted to it :P

Too Faced's products can be found in all Sephora stores.

 4. Cover FX

 5. FENTY BEAUTY

Rihanna's makeup empire probably needs no explanation but did you know that it's vegan and cruelty-free to? THANKS RIRI! Though some still do contain ingredients of animal origin like beeswa, we're not complaining. Fenty Beauty's shades-inclusive foundation and concealers are what we live for.

Their highly pigmented highlighters are not to be belittled too! Don't believe? Go swatch it at any Sephora stores today!

Fenty Beauty's products can be found in all Sephora stores.

 6. Beautyblender

Good news, everyone. Our favourite beauty blender is cruelty-free and vegan! This sponge is basically a must to have for girls who wants to blend their foundation and concealer evenly. Though New Techniques come close to it, nothing beats the OG.

beautyblender can be found in all Sephora stores.
