In a world where going green, eating vegetables and saving the planet are encouraged, going vegan, clean or cruelty-free almost seems to go hand in hand with sacrifice. But going vegan and supporting brands that support the environment don't have to come with a hefty price tag. And while making the health-conscious choice to opt for more fruits and veggies may change your daily meal plan, it doesn't have to change your beauty routine.
Gone are the days when vegan makeup was nearly sheer, watered-down formulas without much color payoff. Some of our favorite cosmetics brands are transitioning to vegan formulas with collections that still deliver. We rounded up the best vegan lipsticks from drugstore to luxury to indie that offer major color payoff with cleaner formulas.
Vegan has never seemed so luxe as this silky lip color in a stiletto-shaped gold applicator. This orange-red hue pops great on olive and deep skin tones and knocks a basic red lip to the curb.
This runway-inspired shade was picked by the fashionisto himself, Christian Siriano. It's a bright, wearable pink that dries matte and lasts without chalking up.
Infused with organic jojoba, castor and sunflower oils, this lip creme is full of hydration and color. This universal deep red can dress up a tee and jeans or perfectly complement your favorite LBD.
