I didn't become aware of what was really happening to animals, as far as makeup testing, until about a month ago. I was ignorant to it. I knew it was a thing, but I wasn't truly aware of what was happening. It is not just mice that are being tested on, they also test on dogs (beagles are the most popular type of dog that is tested on). They don't just wipe the makeup on the skin of these animals, they put it in their eyes, they make them swallow it and see how much they can intake before they die.
THIS IS NOT NECESSARY. Every time we purchase makeup, we make the choice. We choose to either hurt an animal or stand against it. Honestly there are so many brands that are cruelty free. It is companies like: Loreal, Estee Lauder, Benefit Cosmetic, Maybelline that DO test.
Companies that DO NOT test: Anastasia Beverly Hills, Nars, Urban Decay, Tarte, Too Faced, Stilla, Hour Glass, Becca, Bareminerals, Cover FX, Milk Makeup, Wet n Wild, Etc.
I personally don't think enhancing my eyelashes or makeup myself look slightly more bronzed is worth the torture and mutilation of these animals. A lot of companies will make it seem like they don't test by saying "yes we are cruelty free", but then they will follow with a statement that says "we only test when necessary." Any company that sells in China IS NOT cruelty free because China requires it by law.
Lets stand up and be a change. Lets STOP buying from these terrible companies.
