It’s so upsetting that no cruelty-free brand has managed to do a truly good waterproof mascara. The industry cannot catch up fast enough for me. It being such a basic makeup product just makes it a tad more frustrating. I will write down all these brands and keep the list in my bag and on my desk.
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. Estee Lauder NIGHT REPAIR (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.
As for the product itself, Black Honey is just as impressive as the world’s reaction to it. In the tube, the product gives off an incredibly deep, almost-blackberry hue. However, when swiped onto the lips, it applies as a sheer and incredibly buildable, lighter berry shade. The formula itself feels nourishing and hydrating, proving its ‘almost lipstick’ name by emulating the feel of a tinted lip balm. When I tell her how many people I’ve talked to came to the brand and continue to stick with the brand, Lauder says it reminds her of her journey with the company.
As a bonus, they also contain more natural ingredients. Some of them are often mistaken for being cruelty-free, but sadly this is not the case. I’ve included a brief description of each company’s policy to explain why they aren’t cruelty-free. A product line in business is a group of related products under the same brand name manufactured by a company. Known around the world for its professional quality of cosmetic products, Mac Cosmetics branded as M•A•C was developed in Canada in 1984. Estee Lauder’s acquisition of the company in 1994 was a strategic move to add a line of makeup products that would be suitable for makeup artists as well as standard clients.
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.

To put it to the test to see if it really works for all, the editors at Well+Good decided to try it on to see how it works on different skin tones. Picking up traction back in August, Black Honey swiftly began to sell out from Estee Lauder makeup stores and their stockists around the world, continuing to sell out with every restock, even today. With the likes of Clinique ambassador and Game Of Thrones alum, Emilia Clarke, singing its praises, there’s no wonder why the world has become obsessed with getting their hands on juicy hue.
