If you’re looking for affordable cruelty-free options that deliver bold color, quality formulas, and are easy to find at Ulta, the drugstore, or from my favorite indie brands, these are my top picks:

@nyxcosmetics
@essence_cosmetics
@aboutfacebeauty
@lacolorscosmetics
@pixibeauty
@silknaturals (use code CORDELIA to save)
@aromaleighcosmetics (use code CORDELIA to save)
@clionadhcosmetics
@devinahcosmetics (use code CORDELIA to save)

Cruelty-free doesn’t mean expensive. These brands prove you can have gorgeous makeup, bold color, and great quality without compromise. 🖤

I'm not supporting elf because I find Matt Rife deplorable. Glorifying DV is disgusting.
