13 Vegan Makeup Products That Will Change the Way You Think About Beauty

If you're diligent about making sure your diet is free of animal-derived ingredients and byproducts, you shouldn't have to settle for anything less when it comes to beauty. Even if you're not vegan, it's always smart to add more plants (read: healthy antioxidants) into your routine. The good news is that more and more makeup brands are developing high-performance vegan products that mean you don't need to compromise.

We're not just talking fruit-dyed synthetic waxes and salt sticks here. We're talking one of the best mascaras you've ever laid eyes on, makeup brushes that feel even softer than bristles made from animal hair, and a high-intensity lipstick that will have your lips vibrating at a much higher (and happier) frequency. Read on for 13 of our top beauty picks, all amazing and 100 percent vegan.
