Best Vegan Makeup Brushes (and Cruelty-Free)

I have tried so many vegan and cruelty-free makeup brushes over the years. Not only do I have to make sure that the brushes come from a cruelty-free company, but also that the bristles are not made with animal byproducts. Thankfully, there are so many great vegan and cruelty-free makeup brushes on the market. Here are my all-time favorite vegan and cruelty-free makeup brushes.
