Our Top Picks

The foundations below made it to the top of the list for our cruelty-free recommendations. If you're looking for drugstore options, skip to our recommendations for best cruelty-free drugstore foundations. If you're looking for the best skin tints, jump to our section on the best cruelty-free skin tints. All other options provide medium to full coverage, while skin tints provide a lighter to medium coverage.

Our top choice for 2025 is Haus Labs' Triclone Skin Tech foundation. If you've tried it for yourself, you won't be surprised. This foundation is super lightweight while providing great coverage. If you have redness or rosacea, not only will it cover everything flawlessly, but it also contains ingredients like Arnica to soothe red skin.

This foundation claims to provide medium coverage, but you can built it to full without it looking cakey. It has a very skin-like, glowy finish without looking oily. It's long-lasting and suitable for all skin types. However, if you have very oily skin or if you prefer a matte finish, there are other options that we would recommend.

Not to be confused with Fenty's previous foundation launch, which has a matte finish, the Soft'lit Naturally Luminous Longwear Foundation has a more dewy, skin-like finish. This foundation is very similar to Haus Labs' (above) in terms of formula and benefits: they're both lightweight, skin-like, and long-lasting. However, Haus Labs offers slightly better coverage per pump.

Note that we haven't received confirmation from Fenty whether or not this foundation is vegan. It's not marked as vegan on their website. It's possible that only certain shades are vegan. To be safe, we have not marked it as vegan on Cruelty-Free Kitty.

The hype around this foundation is real, as it gives a blurring effect due to its silica powder content. If you're looking for a foundation that gives you an airbrushed, "filter" effect, this one's for you. It also contains skincare benefits like 1.5% niacinamide to smooth and refine the look of uneven skin texture and tone.

This foundations works well for all skin types, although it might not be the best choice if you have very dry skin. Other than that, the finish is very skin-like and natural, while being lightweight. This product is also vegan and fragrance-free, which is a nice change if you're sensitive to fragrance.

If you're looking for a fuller coverage à la Estée Lauder Double Wear, this foundation by One/Size is your perfect cruelty-free alternative. It provides amazing coverage that stays put all day. Despite that, it's easy to blend and it still feels like skin. Plus, it's vegan.

This foundation has a soft matte finish, so if you're not into the luminous finish that the foundations above provide, this one might be for you. It also contains rice silk powder for a slight blurring effect.

A longtime cult favorite, this CC+ foundation by IT Cosmetics is America's #1 Sunscreen foundation. With a full coverage and a creamy consistency, it provides a radiant finish while also covering every imperfection. It's rare for a sunscreen foundation to provide this much coverage, but they succeeded. If you want a foundation that provides great coverage with a dewy finish, especially if you live in a sunny climate, this one's for you.

Keep in mind that many products from IT Cosmetics, including this foundation, unfortunately contain some animal-derived ingredients and are not vegan.

The Face Bond foundation from Urban Decay is self-setting, meaning you don't need to use setting powder over top. It dries down to a matte finish that won't budge all day long. It's also waterproof and sweat-proof, meaning it's a good foundation for special occasions, "active" days like for going to the gym, or high heat and humidity.

For these reasons, it's a great foundation for those with oily or combination skin, especially if you live in a humid climate. It's also vegan, and it contains 3% niacinamide.

The Soft Glmam Satin Foundation by e.l.f. is number one on our list for its blend of performance and affordability. Priced at $8, it provides medium coverage with a natural "satin" finish that looks like skin. It also works for a wide range of skin types including acne-prone and mature skin, as it doesn't settle into fine lines. For a drugstore foundation, it comes in 36 shades which is very good.

At this price point, the PhotoFocus Liquid Foundation by Wet n Wild is a gem. Available in two finishes, soft matte and dewy, it was formulated to look flawless in any lighting condition.

Best Cruelty-Free Skin Tints

Our best recommendation for a skin tint is definitely Ilia's Super Serum Skin Tint. It's super lightweight and feels like nothing on the skin while providing some coverage and giving you a glow. It has an SPF of 40 using mineral and not chemical sunscreen. It's also formulated with great ingredients to hydrate the skin: hyaluronic acid, nicinamide, and plant-based squalane boost elasticity.

For a drugstore options, we recommend Bare Focus Niacinamide Skin Tint because it compares to all the top drugstore skin tints on the market that are not cruelty-free. Instead of reaching for Maybelline or L'Oreal, go with Wet n Wild if you're looking for the best skin tint. This product provides enough coverage and gives your skin a healthy glow, plus it's lightweight and easy to blend.

It's vegan and works with all skin types. We also love that Wet n Wild has been expanding their shade options.

    Es increíble la cantidad de cosas que compramos sin la certeza de estar haciendo un bien o un mal.
    Gracias estas personas, podré sin lugar a dudas seleccionar mis artículos sin culpa y disfrutar de ellos, sabiendo que al comprar productos que estan seleccionados en ésta página, voto por ya no más crueldad animal.

  • Sarah Dixon says:

    Thanks such for investing the time to provide information regarding cruelty free products! You are my #1 go to site to look for cruelty free products to use. – Sarah

  • Payton says:

    Do you have any suggestions for sensitive/dry/eczema skin? Looking for something pretty dewy given that most foundations tend to get flakey (quick!).

    Thank you!

  • Erin says:

    Susana, thank you for giving us this amazing website, I always check it before purchasing makeup now. Keep up your awesome work. Much love ♥

  • Kerr says:

    I used to use the Urban Decay All Nighter and was in love with it but I started to feel like my face looked almost “too perfect” and airbrushed. The finish of my face did not match the finish of the rest of my skin and the color was not an exact match. I was looking for something more natural looking while still giving me decent coverage and decided to switch to the Naked Skin. I love this foundation and the finish is way more natural, the color matches perfect, the coverage is medium and it feels like you aren’t even wearing makeup. Super happy with this purchase and it lasts all day!

  • SopranoB says:

    Thank you SO much for this list…It’s a great help in my search for a new foundation. My skin just totally changed in the last year and I need to find something new because what used to be fabulous is a big NO now!!Thank you, hormones!! Anyway, there are a number of companies that have jumped on the “all natural”, “organic”, and claim they don’t test on animals…But you really need to check! That Chinese market is just too tempting when it comes to the bottom line and many companies products I USED to live on are now off the table!! DHC Japan comes to mind-I used their Deep Cleansing Oil for 12 years but they started selling in China which means animal testing!! I have had to become a chemist in my own kitchen making my own cleansing oil and serums to make up for it! Ugh! It’s a huge bummer. I have written SO many letters…I just get form letter P.R. responses. It’s SO aggravating because in order to DO something about it they need to feel in in their profits! Thank you SO much for your hard work and fighting the good fight! If you have any suggestions for foundations that come in really fair colors-I am a ginger and having the worst time finding something that works…The Becca was a GORGEOUS formula but the lightest color was yellowish and way too noticeable! Thank you!

  • Angela says:

    I’m sorry I don’t mean to be rude But did you know the body shop has been taken off the cruelty free list because they no longer meet the requirements, Too faced is owned by Estee Lauder, I choose not to buy from companies who are owned by parent companies who do their dirty work for them. I don’t think this is the site for me.Thank you for sending the download but I think i will be unsubscribing.

  • Lindsay Mouritzen says:

    Is this an updated list? Other cruelty free lists don’t have some of these brands anymore, like Tarte and Nars (to my sadness). How do you keep up to date? Thanks!

    • Suzana Rose says:

      I updated the post to include the update about NARS, unfortunately. Tarte is still cruelty-free as of 2019, though they’re owned by a brand that tests on animals.

  • Ann says:

    There is a brand ( Mirenesse ) that claim they are cruelty free, one of the skin care product actually states it is made in South Korea. What is this country’s policy in cruelty free. I was so happy there was an Australian cruelty free company that I have purchased some of the makeup and skin care. SuzieI would really love to fid out.

  • Charlene C Graveline says:

    Was really looking for a foundation for mature skin (over 50) that won’t leave my face looking caked and dried out. Next to impossible to come by at all.

    Regards
    Charlene

  • Emilie says:

    NARS isn’t longer cruelty free. They ship to China.

  • Sarah says:

    Careful NARS is nor cruelty free anymore. They decided to sell in China.

  • Pamela says:

    Why is NARS on the list when earlier this year you said they sell in China, and therefore, cannot be cruelty-free? And Urban Decay which is owned by L’oreal? I never know what to do as my options are dwindling.

  • OLa says:

    Girl, NARS is not cruelty free. What are you even doing?

  • Erika says:

    Can you update this? NARS is no longer cruelty free.

  • Paul says:

    My friend is going vegan so I will share this list with them.

  • Emily says:

    I don’t think NARS is cruelty free anymore…

  • Kail says:

    The Ordinary makes a great foundation! And it is only $6! Even Wayne Goss (a professional makeup artist) reccomends it!

  • Jyll Marie says:

    Why isn’t Kat Von D’s foundation listed? Isn’t her entire line vegan and cruelty free?

  • Kristina says:

    NARS isn’t cruelty free anymore

  • Evette says:

    Hi, I am looking for a good foundation that can even out my skin color. I have blemishes and discoloration, and wanted to ask your opinion for a good foundation. I find myself having both dry and oily skin. Really depends what moisturizer I put on. Thank you! Your website is amazing, btw 😉

  • Jade says:

    Really wish Tarte was sold in the Uk

  • Asha says:

    Does anyone have recomendations for foundations won’t flake in dry areas of the face like around the nose? I’ve been having this problem with sooo many that I’ve tried so far

    • Aly Laughlin says:

      I have this problem too! I would suggest mixing your foundation with a little bit of moisturizer (or using a tinted moisturizer like BalmShelter from theBalm). Then you can use the foundation alone or a concealer to build up coverage in areas where you want more. I hope this helps!!

  • Michael Pham says:

    You should mention that NARS is yellow based, and doesn’t work for people who have pink based skin. And it cakes a lot too

  • Michael Pham says:

    Milani’s conceal + perfect 2 in one foundation is garbage imo. I remember when i purchased it in the shade creamy vanilla, and it was so yellow on me. my favorite foundations are Too Faced Cocoa Powder Foundation in Light, and Tarte’s Double Beauty Confidence Compact power foundation in light beige. Liquid foundations usually don’t work for me either because of how the color appears on my skin or how they always appear cakey on me.

  • Kateryna says:

    I use Gosh All-in-one BB cream as foundation. It is low price, lightweight and medium covering, invisible on the skin. Although one application take quite big amount of it and on my combination skin it looks a bit oily.

  • Amanda says:

    I’m interested in finding out about the best cruelty free foundation for mature skin. I’m 56 & my skin tends to be dry. I want good coverage without looking like I have pancake makeup on and lately I feel like my make up/look is always blah/tired looking. I do wear make up but not on the heavy side. I still prefer only and every day look but I just want my skin to look more vibrant!

    • Suzi says:

      Have you tried Born This Way by Too Faced? I would also suggest Charlotte Tilbury’s Light Wonder foundation. If anyone has more suggestions, please comment! 🙂

  • Brooklyn Barrella says:

    My skin is dry, but st the same time, I can’t put oil on it. What would you recommend :(?

  • Samantha M says:

    Agree.
