Have you ever seen a puppy wear mascara? Or a hamster slay a liquid lipstick better than you can? None of us have! This is because makeup is for humans and not animals. Animal testing has been an undying controversy and problem within the makeup industry and community. You do not need to be a makeup enthusiast to understand this serious issue.
