Answer 1

Some

but before like 1995 like 90% of lipstick was made with wale blubber and there are so many nasty ingredients in our beauty products you would be suprised of!!!

just like food....people have no idea.....

Fish scales used to be used pretty commonly for shimmery eye shadows and lipsticks.  These days mica is more common.  Red and pink lipsticks very likely have carmine in them, though (crushed cochineal beetles.)

Answer 9

Yes, some does.  "Pearl Essence" is the substance that adds shimmer to lipsticks, nail polish, and other products.  It is routinely obtained from herring, and is a common by-product of large fisheries.

Look for vegan cosmetics.  Several brands at Whole Foods are tagged "No Animal Ingredients."
