However, I did not know that the only reason MUFE isn’t considered vegan is because it sells to china, and they have this rule of testing all their products on animals. I’m an employee at Mary Kay Inc. and we do not test on animals. The Chinese market is there for many makeup companies and it’s called business. The products are sent there and if the Chinese government requires them to test our products before it is sold, that is the Chinese putting lipstick on a cat and not Mary Kay employees.
I have been using Stila eyeliner and poreless putty for years, as well as Smashbox’s BB cream. I already use Urban Decay, I love their products, and I just discovered Sugarpill and am debating to build my own palette with them. Right now the mascara I use is Lancome but I was thinking of switching to the one UD has, and I used to use one by Annabelle which is also cruelty free. (I already tried Too Faced one and it didn’t work for me) I like volumizing lashes. The difference in a brand that is vegan and bought in a store that sells dead animals is that the dead animals there are humanely killed, and don’t suffer. Companies don’t pour out individual bottles of foundation, use it to test on animals, then pour it back into the bottle and sell it to you.
Brands who fall under this category could also be selling products where animal testing is required by law. Arbonne skincare and make up is certified cruelty free on peta’s list and does not test on animals. In my opinion as a pro make up artist and skin care specialist. The botanically based products are better than La Prairie and Le Mer.

That has nothing to do with Mary Kay Inc. or the companies’ reputation. I think your article is very misleading to readers and I’m offended. Avon in North America is a completely different company than Avon Global now.
Like many other luxury brands, Dior tests on animals. Because of this, Dior isn’t considered to be a cruelty-free brand. Like many of these brands, Chanel’s animal testing Lancome makeup policy is nowhere to be found on their website. But their products are indeed sold in mainland China, where animal testing is mandatory for foreign cosmetics.
I’m confused with Benefit and Bourjois still, as I’ve talked to people from both companies who are adamant that the brands don’t test on animals anywhere? Obviously Bourjoir’s parent company does though. Maybe there are in this world other bottles of the same product that were tested on animals, but this particular one on my hands wasn’t, and that’s good enough for me. The best way to and all animal testing is education.
Tom Ford is owned by Estée Lauder, and it shares their animal testing policy to test when required by law. They are not considered cruelty-free, since they sell in China, where animal testing is mandatory. The company’s products are now sold in more Estee Lauder makeup than 120 countries around the world. M•A•C added to Estee Lauder’s bottom line and has expanded the parent company’s social and consumer network. They may test on animals, either themselves, through their suppliers, or through a third party.
