Black Moon Cosmetics, Necromancy Cosmetica, Lunatick Cosmetics, Fyrinnae, Mother Bear's Hand Made, Au Naturale, Root, and Silk Naturals are all awesome brands :) All of those except Silk Naturals are 100% vegan, too (and Silk Naturals is probably about 95% vegan, with lots of dupes for convential high-end makeup). Maybe you guys could make a video that's a full face of indie vegan and/or cruelty-free makeup?
Mi, I just want to say that a REALLY appreciate you doing videos on cruelty free and vegan makeup, I really think we need to shed light on this topic!!!
Hate to say if but if youre going to go with vegan makeup why not source the product in the united states...e.l.f may be vegan but their shit is manufactured in sweatshops somewhere in china
I hardly consider Pixi to be a drugstore brand anymore considering their ridiculously high price here in Canada. Love their Glow Tonic toner but seriously; $20 for a mini and $38 for the full size. Yikes.
Wet N Wild also has some great vegan products, listed on their site, and NYX just came out with a vegan list that's available on Logical Harmony :) The elf mad for matte palettes are some of my fav vegan drugstore palettes for the price
At first, the drugstore side look better but at the end of the day, I like how the high end side look compared to the drugstore. Can you do videos on face primer and setting spray next?
I have definitely 3 phases of wearing makeup that all happen within the same day: 1. Fresh very clearly makeup 2. Mixes with my oils, natural look 3. Oils take over and I’m a shiny melty mess 😂 But also like, I love Mi-Anne I watch AAAALL of her vids but such a change in tone when talking about the expensive vs. drugstore makeup, like so much shade at the drugstore makeup😕🙁
I panicked when you said you couldn't get your hands on a vegan high end mascara because I thought it meant I've been screwing up by using too faced better than sex mascara but nope! Too faced better than sex is vegan.
I'm the kind of vegan that tries to support the good things from not so good parent companies to show that there is value to doing the good things. If a fast food restaurant makes a veggie burger, I'll eat that burger rather than boycotting them for serving meat and showing that my money has no value to them either way. Hopefully as people increasingly prioritize cruelty-free products companies will realize that they have the most to gain by being cruelty-free :)
Thank you Mi! It was one of my new years resolutions to be a completely vegan beauty guru. My favorite vegan product is definitely the Pacifica dream big mascara, it's a must have!
Maybe use Lush or indie brands They tend to have complete vegan products Starfire cosmetics has really nice and pigmented products and they’re vegan and cruelty free
LUSH is in the process of discontinuing the vast majority of their makeup as of December 2017. Not sure what the future holds in store but it seems like they either didn't have much success with their makeup or are discontinuing it to gear up for something new in the future.
Mi! For the drugstore setting powder, please please please try Cory Airspun Loose Face Powder! They sell it at drugstores (I got mine at Walgreens) and it’s AMAZING. It compares to the high end and there’s many beauty gurus that use that for setting powder! Hope you try it!
From the beginning of the video to the end, I preferred the sheen of the Colourpop eyeshadow to the glitter of the CT one. I would enjoy seeing you do some monochromatic looks, but more than one in a single video in order to compare.
It would have been interesting for you to talk more about what makes these items vegan/not vegan - maybe the history of pigments that came from non-plant products- rather than just "this is a vegan product from____ but they're not a full vegan brand" There's a lot of interesting arguments into cruelty free versus vegan. Also there are several organizations that provide "eats of approval" but I don't know how they get that. Just a thought.
This video is really helpful because since I went vegan is has been very hard for me to buy makeup and even more so because I live in Chile and there aren't that many options around here and what we do get is really expensive, so I'm always looking for new options. Thank you!
As I'm starting the video, I'm guessing your left side is high end. It looks better, the shadow is is more pigmented and the foundation looks smoother.
Tbh in the beginning when she asked us what side we thought was drugstore and what was high end I thought her right side was the high end! It looked so good, if not better than the high end! (At least to me lol 😉)
Thanks for the video! I can't believe how challenging it can be to find GOOD vegan makeup. As for high-end mascara, get your hands on some Caution Extreme Lash Mascara from Hourglass. I was skeptical because it's not waterproof but after wearing it all day yesterday without any smudging at all, I'm nearly convinced. I say "nearly" because I haven't subjected it to the sobbing uncontrollably test yet, lol.
What does Mi-Anne have on her nails? I can't tell if it's a clear glitter polish or actual nail art over a coat of clear polish. Either way, super cute and I really loved this look!
Hi Mi-Anne! Can you do a similar video like this with non-toxic beauty? I find even Vegan beauty products are still quite toxic and there are a lot of great non-toxic beauty products out there. Thanks : )
i think that the drugstore products are on the left side. and from my view its the left side but then when she said witch side they were on she said it as the right side. in my point of view its the left side.
Can someone give me a list of full foundation drugstore products (foundation, setting powder, primer, setting spray, concealer, etc) that make your skin look like skin but flawless and not cakey?
lol this is late but i use the neutrogena skin hint which is very hydrating along with the maybelline fit me concealer and rimmel stay matte powder. i use the elf poreless putty primer and the wet n wild setting spray
joendeo yes you are correct. A product could be vegan but still be filled with harmful chemicals. Vegan makeup just means that there is no animal products in the product. Also a product could be vegan but could have still been tested on animals, so a vegan product could still technically be harmful to you, animals and also to the environment.
Cover FX blurring primer -- they have a few other primers as well. Give it a try! If you don't want to commit to the price, Sephora is great about giving little samples so you can try it out for a few days.
