Is Make Up For Ever vegan?
The brand profile we hold states: Make Up For Ever offers some vegan products but does not maintain a certified or clearly labeled vegan menu. We treat that as the brand's own claim until product records confirm it. We do not score any Make Up For Ever products yet, so this has not been checked against product records.
Vegan means no animal-derived ingredients — beeswax, lanolin, carmine, collagen, silk or milk proteins — anywhere in the formula. It is a separate claim from cruelty-free, and a brand can be one without the other.

How to check this yourself
A vegan claim covers ingredients and materials, not testing. To confirm a specific product:
- Look for a registered vegan mark (Vegan Society, Vegan Action or V-Label) on the exact product, not only on the brand's website.
- Read the full ingredient or material list for beeswax, lanolin, carmine, shellac, collagen, silk, wool, down and leather.
- Check that colours, glues and finishes are covered too — they are where animal-derived inputs most often hide.
