This includes ingredients such as beeswax, collagen, gelatin and many more. A product is considered cruelty-free when it has not been tested on animals. While not always the case, a \u201cvegan\u201d product tends to also be \u201ccruelty free\u201d the majority of the time.\n\nFor an in-depth look at what vegan makeup is made of and what ingredients it tends to avoid, please refer to our article, Vegan Makeup 101<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”40124″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n<\/span>Why go vegan?<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]For starters, using vegan, cruelty-free products in your professional makeup kit adds an ethical component to your business that\u2019s very beneficial. Morally, there are very few disadvantages to offering clients vegan, cruelty-free products. In today\u2019s day and age, mistreatment of animals is highly frowned upon (for good reason!), and vegan lifestyles are only becoming more and more popular. Vegan products are also proven to have less of a carbon footprint, thereby being better for the environment!\n\nFrom a business<\/em> perspective, it can be argued to be a very smart move, capable of bringing in more clientele. Providing products that align with these modern (and popular) beliefs and lifestyles increases the chances of your MUA business being favorably received by Millennials and Gen X\u2019ers alike.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”40125″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n<\/span>Vegan, cruelty-free makeup products we recommend for your professional makeup kit\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n1. The<\/a> Icon<\/a> Palette \u2013 Charlotte Tilbury<\/a> ($65.00 USD)<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]It\u2019s tough to choose between the eyeshadows and the lip products when it comes to iconic vegan line, Charlotte Tilbury, but \u2018The Icon Palette\u2019 deserves all the praise it can get. With a nice range of pigments – ranging from cream all the way to jet black – this 12-shade palette of glittery hues offers eyeshadow options for every occasion. Day, night, diva, and even disco \u2013 <\/em>there\u2019s something for everybody!\n\nPersonally, my favorite shade in the palette is the bold royal blue. Which shade do YOU like best?[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n2. Matcha Cleanser \u2013 Milk Makeup<\/a> ($28 USD)<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]In addition to being vegan and cruelty-free, Milk Makeup also prides themselves on being paraben-free in all their products. As if that weren\u2019t enough, this cleanser is also microbead-free \u2013 an ingredient known for:\n\n \tBeing impossible to recycle, and<\/li>\n \tBeing ridiculously toxic for marine creatures<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nWe strongly maintain that a strong skincare routine is just as \u2013 if not more<\/em> \u2013 important than the makeup routine itself. Healthy skin means a clean and healthy canvas for the makeup to go on in the first place. So finding a cleanser that not only works, but is as safe for the skin as can be? How can you go wrong!\n\nPro tip: Milk Makeup recommends pairing this product with their \u2018Vegan Milk Moisturizer<\/a>\u2019 in order to best lock in your skin\u2019s moisture. <\/em>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”40126″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n3. \u2013 Day to Night Lipstick Duo – E.l.f. Cosmetics<\/a> ($5.00 USD)<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]Like Milk Makeup, E.l.f. Cosmetics is a cosmetic company proudly vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free. Let\u2019s be real here: most of us are already familiar with E.l.f.\u2019s makeup, and we know it seriously rocks. <\/em>Their variety of different products and their amazing pigments are to die for, on top of being environmentally-friendly and good for your client\u2019s skin!\n\nBut in particular, their lip products are our favorite. Specifically, we feel the Day to Night Lipstick Duo<\/em> deserves a shout-out. Firstly, it\u2019s insanely cheap, and you get TWO lipsticks and colors for the price of one! We don\u2019t think we need to explain why this is seriously awesome for any MUA and her professional makeup kit.\n\nThis lipstick comes with 4 different duo shade options:\n\n \t\u2018The Best Berries\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n \t\u2018Need It Nudes\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n \t\u2018Red Hots Reds\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n \t\u2018I Love Pink\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nNo matter which color set you pick, you\u2019re guaranteed a sleek and sexy shade not just for your everyday wear, but for when you\u2019re ready to have a night on the town![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n4. Total Cover Cream Foundation \u2013 Cover FX<\/a> ($55.00 CAD)<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]With all makeup products known for being 100% vegan and cruelty-free, Cover FX is one of the leading competitors for tattoo-concealing products. While they have many other items that are worth looking into, what we\u2019re interested in is its ability to build enough coverage to successfully cover any tattoo your client may want to hide on their big day.\n\nAs someone with their fair share of tattoos, I\u2019ve tried many different products, and never found any that worked as well as Cover FX! Here, we\u2019re specifically recommending their \u2018Total Cream Cover Foundation\u2019, because it\u2019s awesome<\/em> and provides great coverage \u2013 specifically for normal to dry skin types.\n\nBut it\u2019s worth noting that alongside this product, you can use Cover FX\u2019s \u2018Crea<\/a>m<\/a> Concealer\u2019<\/a><\/em> and \u2018<\/em>Matte Setting Powder<\/em><\/a>\u2019<\/a><\/em> to magically hide tattoos. Very handy for SFX makeup, brides who wish to conceal their tattoo(s) on their wedding day, etc.![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][image_with_animation image_url=”40127″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n5. Jojoba Color Correctors – Everyday Minerals<\/a> ($9.00 USD each)<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]If you aren\u2019t familiar with what color correcting is and why it\u2019s so fundamental that you incorporate this practice into technique, we strongly suggest checking out the Color Correcting webinar<\/a> hosted by QC\u2019s executive MUA and instructor, Nathan Johnson.\n\nTrust us: as you\u2019ll quickly understand by checking out Nathan\u2019s webinar, you should definitely <\/em>carry some sort of color correcting products in your professional makeup kit. The odds are higher of working with a client who has some sort of skin blemish, condition, discoloration, etc. If you aren\u2019t prepared, you won\u2019t be able to do the best job for her as you possibly can \u2013 which is not only limiting you, but your business\u2019s reputation!\n\nEveryday Minerals is globally known for strictly using all-natural ingredients in their products. When it comes to their color correctors, you can\u2019t go wrong. For starters, Jojoba is a wonderful ingredient in general for cosmetic products, namely due to:\n\n \tIts organic ability to mimic the skin\u2019s natural oils, and<\/li>\n \tIts ability to help prevent acne breakouts, thanks to how it absorbs into<\/em> the skin (rather than sitting directly on the surface and clogging your client\u2019s pores)<\/li>\n \tIts \u201csoftening, moisturizing, and conditioning properties<\/a>\u201d for the skin<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][image_with_animation image_url=”40128″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]There are for Color Correcting colors you can choose from:\n\n \tBrighten Jojoba Color Corrector<\/a> (soft pink)<\/li>\n \tMint Jojoba Color Corrector<\/a> (mint green)<\/li>\n \tCover Jojoba Color Corrector<\/a> (light salmon)<\/li>\n \tSunlight Jojoba Color Corrector<\/a> (cream, with the faintest hint of yellow)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nPersonally, we recommend arming your professional makeup kit with each and every one of these all-natural correctors! In fact, while you absolutely do not need <\/em>any of the above recommendation, we DO strongly suggest doing research of your own, and trying out some vegan, cruelty-free makeup products.
