Mascara is hands down one of the biggest go-to staples within most makeup lovers' routines.
While the age-old eyelash enhancing product is great for helping you achieve amped up eye looks, have you ever really stopped to think about the associated ingredients used to coat the wand you may be using... each day?
There are loads of mascaras that hit the market every year that include potentially harmful chemicals or associated animal products such as beeswax, lanolin, and more.
However, there are several brands that have been launching or creating new vegan-friendly mascara options that work just as well, if not better, than their non-vegan counterparts. Most of these picks are almost always cruelty-free (do not harm or kill animals) -- added bonus!
Ahead, check out seven top-rated vegan mascaras that work to help you look and feel good while applying.
