What make up is vegan?

Question

I've recently been trying to turn from vegetarian to vegan, but I'm concerned about what make up i use has animal products in it. There are a few brands i know of that don't TEST on animals. But that doesn't mean they don't have animal products in their make up. There are two specific make up products I'm worried about. One of them is Revlon ColorStay liquid eyeliner, and the other is Maybelline Define-A-Lash mascara. I'm wondering if these contain any animal products. Any help would be great.

Answer 1

I have never met a true "vegan." As definied by their own terms in the Memorandum of Association of the Vegan Society, "Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose" (http://www.vegansociety.com/html/downloa... How then can a vegan truly exist in the United States of America, as there are animal by-products that go into the manufacturing of the glues used to make our paper currency. So far as I can tell, even if a proclaimed American vegan uses their credit/debit card exclusively, they are still promoting the slaughter of animals for their own purpose, as someone, somewhere is receiving the American paper currency that they have spent electronicaly. Unless an individual lives by trade of goods for services or services for goods and abstains from known interactions with individuals that would use the fruits of their labor to gain money, than I am of the opinion that they are not a vegan and would be better served being critical of the dissonance created between the ideals and the reality of their lifestyle. Further, let me postulate that most "vegans" are not nearly as dedicated to the ideals of veganism as they believe. I am sure that they firmly would denounce that prior statement when directly preseted to them, however, when push comes to shove they'll bend to further their own benefit. To support this theory I challenge any vegan to denounce scientific animal research (which I suspect they initially would), and then not allow their child to recieve allopathic or pharmacutical treatment if that child should contract cancer (which would violate the operational definition of veganism as defined by their own memorandum).
