Look through the current list of makeup brands that test on animals to see if your favorite brands are cruelty-free or not. Makeup brands who test on animals are mostly sold in countries where animal testing is still required by law.
China is a lucrative market for makeup brands and there is a lot of money to be made from a country with such a huge population.
Issues With Current Testing Methods

Scientists have come up with alternative testing methods that involve in vitro testing, and computer-modeling techniques (in silico models) which don’t involve animals and are often cheaper and quicker to implement.

Some cruelty-free brands are owned by parent companies that conduct animal testing. Avoid these brands if you are a purest and don’t want to indirectly support a parent company paying for testing on their products.
Many cruelty-free shoppers choose to support cruelty-free brands owned by parent companies that carry out testing because they believe it sends a message to these companies that cruelty-free products are desirable and profitable.
