For many people, finding a makeup brand which does not test on animals is important when choosing products to buy, for others it isn't as important and that is just a personal preference for some people. Although both sides are and will continued to be argued, neither is right or wrong and I'm not going to try convince you one way or another.

What I am going to do is share some research which I have found (mainly from the PETA website) on which makeup brands do not test on animals, for my own and anyone else's future reference! This isn't a complete list, just a select few which I myself use, or I know lots of other people will do too.

If you do know of any other brands which I haven't mentioned, please feel free to leave them in the comments!
