We\u2019ve all been there: we find the perfect lipstick, eyeliner, highlighter or mascara after months of searching, just to find out the cold truth that the company tests on animals. I\u2019ve even had the experience of thinking a company was cruelty-free, bought the mascara and brought it home, only to discover that they were indeed not cruelty-free. You\u2019d think that a brand name with the word \u201chonest\u201d in it would be safe. That was certainly not the case.<\/p>\n

For all the makeup lovers out there, a common issue is whether or not companies are cruelty-free. In many situations, this is because the company has factories based in China, where testing on animals is a requirement<\/a>. Regardless, if you\u2019re like me and refuse to support the cruel practice of animal testing, it\u2019s important to find products that are not only cruelty-free but actually work!<\/p>\n

While I\u2019m not necessarily the next big MUA of the world, I\u2019ve certainly spent plenty of time scouring the Amazons and Ultas of the world to find the best mascaras and have come up with a list of some of the best cruelty-free mascaras on the market.<\/p>\n

Is one of your favorites missing from the list? Let us know in the comments. I\u2019m always up for trying new products!<\/p>\n

The Best Cruelty-Free Mascaras<\/h2>\n

Tarte\u00a0\u2014 4-in-1<\/h3>\n

\"tarte<\/a><\/p>\n

Both my friends and I swear by\u00a0this mascara<\/a>. Forget about cruelty or cruelty-free (even though it definitely is cruelty-free<\/a>), this is the best mascara on the market \u2014 period. Well, in my opinion anyway. Every time I try out a different brand, I always end up coming back to my trusty Tarte 4-in-1.<\/p>\n

The mascara applies evenly, doesn\u2019t leave clumps all over the place and stays put. Tarte also offers a waterproof version, but the standard 4-in-1 tends to stay for awhile, so waterproof may not be entirely necessary. And how cute is that mascara tube?!<\/p>\n

Buy It On Amazon: About $20<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Too Faced\u00a0\u2014 Better Than Sex<\/h3>\n

\"better<\/a><\/p>\n

While the name is a bit over-the-top, this mascara<\/a> definitely does the job and well. I would say this mascara provides a little more volume than the Tarte 4-in-1, so this could be an everyday mascara, but make sure to limit yourself to one coat. If you\u2019re planning a night out though, this is the one you want.<\/p>\n

This is another mascara that I\u2019ve tried and have had really great results. It stays put and lasts an incredibly long time. While this option is a bit on the pricer side, you get the best of both worlds: awesome volume and the peace of mind of knowing that no animals were harmed<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Buy It On Amazon: About $30<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Stila\u00a0\u2014 Huge Extreme<\/h3>\n

\"stila<\/a><\/p>\n

Amazon reviewers rave that if you have thin, fine eyelashes, Stila\u2019s Huge Extreme<\/a> will make them not only visible but voluminous and full. Stila had been animal testing in China, where it’s required by law, but as of May 2017, Cruelty-Free Kitty<\/a> reports that they have since pulled their products out of China, are no longer testing on animals and are even PETA-approved!<\/p>\n

Good news for us, because Stila seems to have a pretty solid reputation<\/a> for having an awesome, high-quality makeup line. While I haven\u2019t tried this mascara, I\u2019m definitely up for it after reading all the positive reviews!<\/p>\n

Buy It On Amazon: About $23<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pacifica\u00a0\u2014 Stellar Gaze Length & Strength Mascara<\/h3>\n

\"pacifica<\/a><\/p>\n

Available in both black (Supernova) and brown (Stardust), this mascara from Pacifica<\/a> is designed to separate and extend lashes, while maintaining a cruelty-free formula. Amazon reviewers mention that the mascara not only provides needed volume but does a great job of conditioning lashes too.One reviewer even mentioned that she hesitated writing a review because she doesn\u2019t want the secret to get out of just how good the mascara is!<\/p>\n

Not only are all Pacifica products cruelty-free<\/a>, but they are also vegan, gluten-free and free of parabens and sulfates. They even offer a cruelty-free and vegan nail polish<\/a> in gorgeous colors!<\/p>\n

Buy It On Amazon: About $15<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

EVXO\u00a0\u2014 Mineral Mascara<\/h3>\n

\"evxo<\/a><\/p>\n

While EVXO<\/a> may not be the most well-known brand on this list, Amazon reviewers mention that the quality compares with that of other cruelty-free brands. EVXO also checks off the volume box on our cruelty-free<\/a> mascara list.<\/p>\n

Something to mention is that some reviewers note that the wand itself isn\u2019t anything spectacular. But you can always choose this mascara and buy a separate wand<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Buy It On Amazon: About $20<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bare Minerals\u00a0\u2014 Flawless Definition<\/h3>\n

\"bare<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewers on Ulta<\/a> rave that this mascara<\/a> does a great job of both separating your lashes and providing lots of volume. This mascara features a wand that evenly coats each individual lash, leaving a more natural look that accentuates your lashes.<\/p>\n

Bare Minerals is also PETA-certified and cruelty-free<\/a>, so you know that all their products are the real deal.<\/p>\n

Buy It On Amazon: About $20<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Vivienne Sabo\u00a0\u2014 Cabaret<\/h3>\n

\"cabaret<\/a><\/p>\n

Much like EVXO, Vivienne Sabo is a smaller brand, but their mascara<\/a> can still hold its own against bigger names. One Amazon reviewer mentioned that instead of having to use a primer and three different mascaras, she achieved the same look with just two coats of Cabaret.<\/p>\n

The Cabaret has a dark tone that makes your lashes pop, while the lash wand does a good job of separating lashes while still providing lots of volume. This is another mascara that I haven\u2019t tried myself, but after reading some of the reviews, I may have to give it a shot!<\/p>\n

Buy It On Amazon: About $12<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

theBalm\u00a0\u2014 Mad Lash<\/h3>\n

\"mad<\/a><\/p>\n

Geez, after doing all of these reviews I\u2019m going to be stockpiled with mascara for the next year! This is another option I need to give a chance, mainly because I\u2019m intrigued by the curved mascara wand that’s included. The Mad Lash<\/a> may not be a household name, but it definitely has Amazon shoppers hooked.<\/p>\n

Many reviewers\u00a0mention that Mad Lash does a good job of creating lots of volume. So much, in fact, that many reviewers mention that they had people asking if their lashes were fake! And not only is the formula cruelty-free,<\/a> but it’s free of talc and parabens too!<\/p>\n

Buy It On Amazon: About $20<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Burt’s Bees\u00a0\u2014 Nourishing Mascara<\/h3>\n

\"burt's<\/a><\/p>\n

Burt’s Bees is more than just that peppermint chapstick you\u2019re addicted to. Aside from skin and body care products, Burt\u2019s Bees has quite the array of makeup products too. Their nourishing mascara<\/a> is one of the most affordable on the list at about $13 and is 100% natural.<\/p>\n

Not only is Burt\u2019s Bees cruelty-free<\/a>, but their mascara formula is free of parabens, phthalates and synthetic fragrances. Reviewers do mention that this mascara is good for day wear but isn\u2019t the greatest for a dramatic, night-time look.<\/p>\n

Buy It On Amazon: About $13<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Noix De Coco\u00a0\u2014 Coconut Oil Mascara<\/h3>\n

\"noix<\/a><\/p>\n

As if us natural beauty connoisseur weren\u2019t already obsessed with coconut oil for everything from makeup remover to hair masks, now we can add mascara to the list. Noix De Coco\u2019s coconut oil mascara<\/a> does a great job of nourishing your lashes while still providing a voluminous look.<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional mascaras, this formula is cruelty-free<\/a>, paraben-free, features organic coconut oil and even chamomile to support anti-fungal properties in your eyes. There\u2019s nothing quite like mascara that works well and is good for you too!<\/p>\n
