Foundation is applied to the face to create an even skin complexion and to cover flaws. It’s a great makeup product and is generally the base layer on the face over which everything else is applied. Unfortunately, many cosmetic brands test their products on animals. It’s a cruel and unnecessary act. There are plenty of brands that do not test their products on animals, and these are the ones to support if you don’t want to contribute to cruel animal testing!

Here is a list of 15 cruelty-free foundations available on Amazon to help you get started on your search for the right one for you!
