Six of the Best Cruelty-Free Eyeliners We’ve Found

Whether you prefer a subtle outline or a dramatic winged look, cruelty-free eyeliners are just the thing to perfect your look. This list of some of the best cruelty-free eyeliners, which are vegan as well, will help you get gorgeous without doing anything ugly to animals.

NYX Epic Ink Eyeliner

This pen eyeliner comes in a variety of neutral colors and is easy to apply, whether you’re looking for a thin line or a thick one.

My Favorite Cruelty-Free Eyeliner

All things considered, I think my favorite cruelty-free eyeliner is Tarte’s Double-Take. The versatility of having a pencil and a liquid liner in just one tool is hard to beat. If you’re looking for a wider range of colors than black and brown, though, I’d go with NYX’s Epic Ink.

It’s easy to shop cruelty-free and vegan—and more importantly, you’ll avoid harming animals, whether they’re sensitive, feeling rabbits used in tests or industrious bees whose wax is stolen from them. Find more cruelty-free companies in our database.
