12 Cruelty-Free Makeup Brands You Can Buy at the Drugstore

We love drugstore makeup prices, but not when the products have been tested on animals. Luckily, times are changing and the number of affordable cruelty-free brands just keeps going up.

If you prefer to buy cruelty-free makeup, there's no reason not to. The brands that form the list below are certified cruelty-free, and you can find them at a slew of spots, including CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Target and Walmart. You may just look and feel better than ever. Goodbye, guilt!

Covergirl

At long last, Covergirl announced in November that it had gone cruelty-free. Beauty lovers cheered, because that meant a big jump in cruelty-free products at the drugstore. The brand has a ton of popular ones, from its foundations to its mascaras.
