Cruelty-Free And Vegan Beauty Tools You Need
It’s one thing to purchase cruelty-free and vegan makeup, skincare, bath and body products.
But what about the tools used to apply these products, or the tools used to help enhance your look?
A lot of beauty tools are made using animal products or are still tested on animals. From false eyelashes to makeup brushes, here are some of the cruelty-free and vegan beauty tools and beauty tools by cruelty-free and vegan brands.
Blending sponge
A blending sponge is a perfect tool for applying foundation and concealer to smooth out your complexion. Also, a blending sponge can be used for applying additional products onto your face, such as a highlighter, blusher or contour. The BeautyBlender is a popular blending product that is cruelty-free.
Makeup brushes
Makeup brushes are often made using animal hairs, but fortunately, there are plenty of vegan makeup brushes sold by brands such as EcoTools, Nanshy, e.l.f. Cosmetics and Coconut Lane sell vegan brushes, so you can apply your makeup guilt-free. You can also find makeup brushes with bamboo wands - plastic-free and less likely to damage the environment.
False eyelashes
Did you know that many false eyelashes are made using the hairs from mink? To avoid purchasing mink lashes, opt-in for cruelty-free lashes instead. Illamasqua - a cruelty-free cosmetics brand - sells a range of cruelty-free false eyelashes that will boost your eye makeup look.
Eyebrow product
There is a range of products you can use to tweak, shape up and maintain your brows in between appointments. Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Brow Wiz is a cruelty-free brow product that transforms the eyebrows. Targeting each hair on the brow - including the finest hairs - the Brow Biz will elegantly shape those arches, with not one hair out of place.
Blotting paper
If you suffer from an oily complexion then blotting paper will certainly come in handy, as it helps to remove excess oil. Also, it helps to get rid of excess makeup, if you’ve put on too much foundation, blush or lipstick. Cruelty-free beauty brand NYX Professional Makeup sells Green Tea Blotting Paper that can be recycled.
Bamboo toothbrush
Maintaining those pearly whites is not just a part of your oral hygiene regimen, but an important part of your beauty routine too. Many toothbrushes are made using plastic, which is very damaging to the ocean and environment, so trade in a plastic toothbrush with a biodegradable bamboo one instead.
