The range of cream-based foundations could not get any better\u2014and Cinema Secrets is proof of that. Cinema Secrets is not vegan, however, it is cruelty-free as they don\u2019t test on animals! I discovered Cinema Secrets last year speaking to some of the celebrity makeup artists at the London IMATS and fell in love with the product. The concealers, correctors, and foundations come in dozens of colors, making them perfect for media work, plus once set with fixer and powder they are completely waterproof. My model Nikki pictured above is very fair, and Kit 1 was perfect for her skin tone. I managed to conceal any flaws and create a creamy, dewy finish.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1640378776887{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_3\"><\/span>Myth 3<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Vegan makeup doesn\u2019t come in as many colors and shades<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]If you ever happen to go to an Urban Decay Counter or visit ELF\u2019s website, you will see the shades, textures, and finishes are endless when it comes to vegan and vegetarian makeup.
