Korean brand 3CE (under Stylenanda) is one of our absolute faves, thanks to their fun take on graphics and bold colours. Plus, all of their products come in cute packaging (would you expect anything less from a Korean brand?), making them easy on the eye. The I\u2019m a Chubby Mascara is one of their best sellers worldwide.<\/p>\n

Another cruelty-free makeup brand that we adore is 100% Pure. The Pretty Naked Palette is an absolute must-have for any makeup bag, thanks to its subtle colours and glide-on finish. We are fans of the hand buttercream too, as it’s full of coconutty goodness.<\/p>\n

Founded in San Francisco, bareMinerals is all about working with natural minerals to create beautiful makeup, so being a cruelty-free makeup brand was a natural fit. While beauty brands take it wild with colour, bareMinerals is about enhancing natural beauty with barely-there colours and long-lasting, natural-looking products. The bareSkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation corrects tone and brightens skin all at once, plus it includes SPF20, which we think is pretty great.<\/p>\n
