You might think it's difficult or expensive to use cruelty-free makeup products, but there are actually many brands you already love that don't test on animals. Animal testing is cruel and incredibly unnecessary (there's no law in the United States requiring it), so making the decision to go cruelty-free is important to many animal-lovers.

If you're searching for a new lipstick, check out the incredible picks ahead, starting at just $2. Each one is packed with pigment, comfortable on the lips, and completely cruelty-free. It's proof that you can shop for ethical beauty products at any price point.

Once you've found your new soulmate lipstick, check out more incredible cruelty-free brands and what to shop from each of them.
