Mascara is one of the few things I never leave the house without, and over the years I have tried dozens of different brands and types. I am also vegan, so I refuse to wear mascaras that contain animal-derived ingredients or were manufactured by companies who test on animals. Finding vegan-friendly mascaras has never been easier, as more and more companies are beginning to refrain from animal testing and eliminate animal ingredients from their products. If you are looking for a quality mascara that fits in your vegan lifestyle, these mascaras are perfect and fit within any beauty budget.
E.L.F Studio Mineral Infused Mascara
E.L.F is by far my favorite vegan makeup brand, and their Studio Mineral Infused Mascara is one of the best mascaras I have tried. This mascara fills in your lashes to create fabulous volume, and the mineral enriched formula helps repair damaged, fragile lashes. The silicon brush gives you a clump-free finish, and at $3.00 this is the cheapest vegan-friendly mascara I have found. E.L.F Studio Mineral Infused Mascara can be purchased at Target stores or ordered online from E.L.F’s official website.
Urban Decay Lush Lash Mascara
Though this mascara is a bit pricey, it is excellent for repairing damaged lashes. Urban Decay Lush Lash Mascara is infused with Peptides and moisturizers to improve the health of your natural lashes. This mascara both lengthens and fills in lashes, giving you maximum volume while nourishing your eyelashes. Lush Lash has an hourglass shaped brush to provide maximum coverage. Urban Decay is not an exclusively vegan company, but none of their products are tested on animals so purchasing from them does not conflict with vegan values. At $20.00, this mascara is a bit pricey, but its worth the extra investment if you want to build and strengthen your natural lashes. You can purchase Urban Decay Lush Lash Mascara from Ulta, Sephora or through their official website.
Beauty Without Cruelty Ultimate Natural Mascara
Beauty Without Cruelty is an excellent vegan makeup company, and their Ultimate Natural Mascara is one of my favorites. Available in black and walnut, this mascara contains berry wax and bamboo silk to hydrate and repair brittle eyelashes. It lengthens and thickens lashes for a full and fabulous finish. At $25.00, this is a pretty expensive mascara, but its definitely worth the price if you want the best vegan mascara out there. You can purchase Beauty Without Cruelty Ultimate Natural Mascara from their official website.
