There are a surprising amount of Makeup Geek vegan products – eyeshadows, blush, bronzers, highlighters, and even lipsticks. It’s always great when a cruelty-free brand also has a lot of vegan options. While they are primarily available on their own website, you can even now find Makeup Geek in Target.

Makeup Geek Vegan Product List (2020):

Below are all of the Makeup Geek vegan product options. It is split up by category to make your cruelty-free shopping easier.

If you are new to Makeup Geek, an important thing to know about their ingredient list is that they use the same “May Contain” listing for all shades – vegan or not. The May Contain list does contain carmine, however, this does not mean that there is carmine in all of their products. On some Makeup Geek product pages vegan options are noted, but they are not on all shades or on all product pages.

The following list includes only Makeup Geek products that are not only cruelty-free but also vegan. Cruelty-free means that there is no animal testing occurring anywhere. Vegan means that there are no animal or animal derived ingredients.

Makeup Geek Blushes:

The following Makeup Geek Velvet Powder Blushes are vegan. The blushes used to come in either a compact or a round pan. With the rebranding, they are now available in only a square pan. This means less packaging waste. It’s also very easy to create your own custom face palette using empty magnetic palettes.

The new blushes in Covet and Sweetness are not vegan-friendly. Covet was vegan before the rebranding, so if you own this in a round pan that version is vegan-friendly. The reformulated version in the square pan is not.

Some older blushes that came in round pans that were vegan are Blind Date, Cherish, Heart Throb, Love Letter, Promise Ring, Puppy Love, Rendezvous, Romance, XOXO, Soulmate Head Over Heels, Honeymoon, Infatuation, Love Affair, Main Squeeze, Secret Admirer, Valentine.
