Charlotte Tilbury
We love Charlotte Tilbury, but we love it even more when it’s vegan! Not every product Charlotte Tilbury makes for us is entirely vegan. Hardcore vegans might protest. But we believe that we as consumers have the power to convince major brands to focus on becoming fully environmentally friendly by buying their products that are. That way, the products that aren’t will go out of commission or will be replaced with products that are. Trust me! They will keep an eye on that. Some of our favorite vegan items by Charlotte Tilbury are these items worth carrying with you in your handbag.
These are our current faves by Charlotte Tilbury:
Charlotte’s Hollywood Beauty Icon Lipstick
Matte Revolution — Hollywood Vixen
Charlotte’s Luxury Palette
The Matte Revolution is a great limited edition for spring, summer, and if autumn will be mild again. It comes on buttery smooth and stays on for a few good hours without retouching. What’s also great about this lipstick, and most of Charlotte Tilbury’s, is that it doesn’t give you that annoying lip liner look as it fades: which is great! This red looks fantastic on all skin shades. And if you are into reds, like we are, this could become a staple color.
Another one of our faves is this eyeshadow palette, called “The Sophisticate”.If you look at color theory, this palette will look good on most skin colors and shades — no matter your undertone. On to of that, it’s the perfect go to day-to-day palette. Easy to mix for a minimalist and clean girl aesthetic looks, or to layer for a sultry smokey eye. So great to bring along if you need a touch up between work and bar.

3INA
We love the 3INA tagline: “Cruelty Free and Made in Europe”. You know when products are made in Europe they have to pass extremely strict guidelines for consumer safety, that American brands don’t need to apply to in the US. What most of us don’t know is that many American brands, make-up or even food related, produce products for the European market separately. European guidelines often make production slightly pricier. So they keep the American products as is, and produce the European items for overseas markets only. Shocker! We know… But luckily that is not the case with 3INA. When you order them, you know you’ve got the best quality ingredients and formulas sent to your doorstep.
Our personal faves from 3INA:
The 24H Eye Stick with Built-in Sharpener!
Way to go to 3INA! This eye stick doubles as a liner and eyeshadow. The built-in sharpener works like magic when you need to get those outstanding sharp lines to make amazing wings. The 24H Eye stick comes in 21 shades. And all the colors can be layered too.

The 24H Level Up Waterproof Mascara
It literally stays on up to 24 hrs, if you will. Well, more like 20 hrs, when we tested it. But we all need to hug our pillow before that moment hits, so we didn’t sweat it too much. Moreover, we did do a lot of exercise on a hot spring day. A hot spring, mixed with a sweaty face, is detrimental to most make-up, so we are not too worried about that wearing this waterproof mascara. There’s also a regular version of the 24H Level Up Mascara that can still handle a good splash or hot head. This waterproof edition by 3INA has an insane amount of pigment on a twirled brush to cover every single lash. And when you have lighter colored lashes, it’s easy to cover up all the way to the root without getting irritated eyes. So we were not disappointed. We’ve had nice full lashes from this one, and we didn’t need any other eye make-up to make us look good. So if you are all about minimalism, this mascara might become your go to! With this, you may skip the rest.
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez
Wouldn’t it be odd if a celebrity would release a non-vegan or non-cruelty-free brand?Exactly! Thank goodness, none of our favorite celebrities do. And Rare Beauty is definitely high on our list when it comes down to being inclusive, well thought through products and amazing shades. Next to that, Rare Beauty’s online shade finder, is one of the best we’ve tried for foundations or blushes. It was always a clear and direct hit.
Our Rare Beauty Favorites:
Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush
These blushes melt into your skin to create an either natural look, or bold look when you start to layer them out. It melts just so easily into any foundation, even your bare skin.
We love the colors and the depth they have.
Fenty Beauty
When Rihanna created Fenty, she went in with a bang and immediately set a new standard in the make-up and fashion industry. One of full inclusivity. Every skin shade possible became the standard. From the lightest porcelain white that you would never find at a L’oreal stand, to the darkest shade of Ebony. Moreover, Fenty went full inclusive mode for the West and East-Asian market as well. And we are all here for it.
Our favorite Fenty products (But can we really choose?):
We’re Even Hydrating Longwear Concealer
This foundation has a buildable medium coverage for a natural, second-skin finish. Even after hours of wearing, it resists creasing, fading, sweat, and humidity, whilst hydrating, brightening, and improving our skin over time. It’s transfer-proof, waterproof, and non-comedogenic. Which has been a lifesaver when having hormonal breakouts.
This one is mostly for balanced to dry skin, but the PRO-Filter foundation works wonders on oily skin.
We’re Even Hydrating Longwear concealer
Some other great vegan make-up brands are:
Tip: Their mascara improves eyelash growth, which really worked on our mini lashes
Tip: Technically they do not do make-up, but their Lip Replenisher is one of the finest lip juicers and keeps our lips from getting dry and chapped in windy and cold weathers, but also the scorching sun. Keeps them youthful and plump as well.
Haus Laubs didn’t have the greatest launch originally. But the relaunch with new and adapted products made all the difference. Shop for this brand if you want to go for extraordinary naturals, bold shimmers and golden eye-colors to make the Oscars’ statue jealous. Moreover, her long-lasting lipsticks (incl. with shine) are top of the bill. Particularly, the ATOMIC SHAKE. If you wish to have kissable glossed up lips. That’s the one you need to try. Doesn’t smear or come off for hours!
