Being a brand for all gives you a rather wide net to work with. According to her, Clinique matches 98.5 percent of skin tones and 100 percent of skin problems. An overwhelming number of women’s first perfume experience was Clinique Happy, and the lipstick shade Black Honey is similarly beloved.
Sadly Smashbox is owned by Estee Lauder & they test on animals, so Smashbox is not cruelty free, It seems that Stiila is, though, so that’s good news! Also, Urban Decay claims not to test but they are owned by L’Oreal – a company who notoriously tests products on animals. I’m glad that Stila and Smashbox have gone cruelty free.
Lancôme is owned by L’Oreal and inherits the same policy to test on animals where required by law. Since Lancôme is sold in stores in mainland China, it cannot be considered a cruelty-free brand. Lancome makeup products are sold in mainland China, where animal testing is required by law. The following screenshot shows us that Clinique is sold at Chinese Sephora stores. Colourpop, like other cruelty-free brands, only sells to China online. Products must only be tested on animals if the company decides to sell in physical stores in mainland China.
Competition for Clinique continues to intensify, as investors continue to pour money into startup brands emerging in the $380 billion beauty industry.But Clinique, founded over 50 years ago, is holding steady.

Since they are sold in China, they are subject to animal testing and thus not cruelty-free. The latest beauty product to take TikTok by storm? An old Clinique lipstick color that’s new again thanks to creators on the social media platform.
As the granddaughter of the Estée Lauder, she started using the three-step system when she was 11 because she herself had troubled skin. It’s Lauder’s third time at Clinique, after stints at other Estée Lauder brands like Origins. She keeps coming back to the brand — just like her customers. Fast-forward fifty years and the $20 shade is marked as “temporarily out of stock” on Clinique’s website.
It’s hard to accept that all these are unethical. Pin the graphic below to share this list on Pinterest. A good alternative to the Diorshow Mascara is the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara.
They now have a huge presence in mainland China – more sales than their native France and Europe, yet they persist in falsely claiming to be free of animal testing. In fact they seem to be actively quite evasive and untruthful about the issue. Animals that are tested for cosmetics suffer terrible pain and misery because they are held in a lab in restraints that keep them suffering for months or more.
