Listen up lipstick lovers, we have some news for you:
Vegan lipsticks are better! Better for your lips, better for your health, and even better for the planet.
Most non-vegan lipsticks contain ingredients like lanolin, beeswax, shellac—and even carmine; a dye made from crushed beetles. Gross!
Vegan lipstick contains fewer harmful chemicals and uses natural ingredients like avocado oil, aloe vera extract, and vitamin E to keep your lips moisturised all day long.
We’ve rounded up our top five best vegan lipstick brands so that you can choose one that’s right for you. Whether you prefer satin or long-lasting, or if a staple red is your go-to colour, we’ve found a lipstick line for everyone.
Here are our top 5 best vegan lipstick brands:
- Best Vegan Matte Lipstick: Urban decay Vice Lipstick
Urban Decay’s Vice Lipstick is back with a new look and new vegan formula and we’re here for it!
The Vice Lipsticks give high-impact, long-lasting colour in a single swipe.
Forget dry, flaky lips! The creamy, moisturising formula gets a boost from aloe vera and avocado oil, ingredients known to be rich in antioxidants.
We’re super excited about the Matte shade Backtalk, it’s an absolute must-have for any beauty junkie’s collection.
