Help switching from Lancome Makeup
Started

I recently became vegan and I am currently using Lancome makeup. I have tried many different brands, MAC, Estee Lauder, Bare Minerals, Jane Iredale to name a few and I am allergic to all of them. Lancome seems to be the only brand that I can tolerate. Does anyone have any suggestions for vegan makeup that might work?
Have you tried E.L.F. make-up? They're PETA certified cruelty-free and super cheap. An organic brand called Lavera also has vegan make-up, although there's is a bit expensive. There's also Urban Decay if you haven't tried it already.
Thanks, I will take a look at those brands. Hopefully, I will be able to use one of them.
You might want to try Gabriel and/or ZuZu Luxe too - they are made by the same company and are vegan, and very natural. Also Alima Pure, if you want to try the powder/mineral makeup route. They have very few ingredients and everything except their liglosses is vegan. Alima has samples for about $1.50 each, so you wouldn't have to spend a ton only to find you are allergic!
You might want to try figuring out what ingredients you are allergic to, and then avoid brands with those ingredients. It might be hard, but there must be some common ingredient that Lancome doesn't use that the others do!
Thanks, I have thought about comparing ingredients from Lancome to the other brands. There are so many ingredients, but before I spend any more money it is probably worth it to try determine what I might be allergic to and check any new brands for those ingredients. I will probably try some samples from Alima since it is so inexpensive.
