MMU and Veganism

[canehdian]

This is my first post here, so first of all, hi everyone!!!

I was just wondering if there are any vegan ladies on here who, like me, switched to MMU primarily because of how vegan-friendly MMU companies are. Of course, MMU has also done wonders for my skin, and it's cheaper than drugstore MU, but aside from all the other benefits, I've been impressed with the wide selection of cruelty-free and vegan-friendly products offered by MMU companies. Before I discovered MMU, I would search high and low for vegan lipsticks/glosses/balms (ie., ones that don't contain the ubiquitous beeswax!), synthetic makeup brushes, and carmine-free pigments. Now I have so many options; I'm in heaven!

I've currently only tried EDM and I just ordered one of their Everyday Kits (before they stopped carrying it), and I'm probably going to order some samples from Alima and Monave. I'm so thrilled that Monave has such a great selection of vegan lipsticks and glosses!!!

I'm not vegan but you need to be aware that there's carmine in some mmu. Blushers and red/pink eye shadows quite often have it in. A lot of companies list their ingredients on the site so just make sure to check them carefully.

Yep, like I said in my original post, I'm thrilled that there are companies that offer carmine-free products.

I love that some companies, like Monave, actually take the time to list which of their products are vegan -- it's so nice when they do the work for me and I don't have to squint at those ingredient lists in the tiny font.

Fyrinnae is vegan I believe.

i've never considered MMU as part of veganism, but i agree MMU is much more vegan friendly than traditional makeup companies.

i know Urban Decay has some vegan products, and they also don't test on animals.
