7 Eco-Friendly (And Vegan!) Makeup Brushes for Cruelty-Free Primping

Pretty is as pretty does. You’d rather go naked than wear fur, so why subject your punim to makeup brushes that are part squirrel, mink, or horse? These seven cruelty-free primping tools don’t just require zero hunting or trapping, they’re also pretty groovy for the planet. Plus, synthetic bristles aren’t chockfull of dead skin, bacteria, and janky preservatives, which means happier, healthier skin. Above, a bundle of Aveda’s Flax Sticks ($65), featuring soft bristles made with 100 percent non-animal Taklon and handles derived from flax and post-consumer recycled polypropylene.
