If you’re on the hunt for the best vegan and eco-friendly makeup brushes, then you’ve come to the right place. In this article, I’m sharing 5 cruelty-free and sustainable makeup brushes to try in 2022.

Remember, the most sustainable and eco-friendly makeup brushes are the ones you already own! Use them up till the very end, and when it’s time to buy some new ones consider some of these eco-friendly options.
