When I heard that Estee Lauder makeup Black Honey was a universally flattering shade, I didn’t really know what to expect. At first glance, it looks like it’s going to be a deep plum. Black Honey, however, is a really sheer, glossy shade of plum that’s perfect for everyday wear. Although it is sheer, I wouldn’t actually say the lipstick is “buildable.” Slathering it on made my lips shinier, but it didn’t yield a deeper color. That said, it’s not too sticky and almost feels moisturizing—I can see how it’s a fan favorite.
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 genifique 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.
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.
When I first started reporting this story, I turned to Facebook. I’ve lived all over the country, so I figured I’d start with a fairly diverse focus group, at least geographically, which due to climate would mean a variety of skincare needs. Despite conversations among friends and the confidence of my editor, I was still worried. It turns out my worries were completely misplaced, because even some men had opinions on Clinique products they used and loved. For the longest time, Feinstein associated the brand with her grandmother, who had great skin, but she never thought of adopting it herself.
In addition, Arbonne voluntarily bans 2000 harsh chemicals are voluntarily which is stricter than the European Union which bans 1300, and North America only band 8-12…. The best part is the price genifique because it’s sold directly from consultants to clients. If you want to research, Arbonne’s ingredient policy is completely transparent. I have so many of the product brands that test on animals.
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.

Natural makeup and quality skincare have been the company’s mission for nearly half a century. Freyre said Clinique has worked especially hard to translate many of its beauty counter features to the digital realm. The company recently started offering one-on-one consultations online called “skin school”that aim to mimic the “high-tough service” that it provides in physical stores around the world.
The deeper pigments blend easily and pair with my natural lip color for a finish that’s somehow bright, slick, and without the least bit of heaviness. If you add more layers, the tone deepens evenly, so you could easily build up the color for a glam nighttime look, too. Instagram may be far removed from Clinique’s original department-store counter set-up, but the platform is becoming increasingly important to brands trying to reach young consumers. Clinique’s Instagram strategy is bit subtler than most brands.
