What is the controversy with animals and makeup?

Most types of makeup is tested on animals. Only a few companies don't test on animals.

No animals don't wear makeup because they can't buy it but make up is tested on animals so they basically were makeup that is noy approved, I mean think about instead of blinding a human you are blinding a poor bunny just so you can put on makeup

Multicellular makeup means animals are made of many cells animals cells are eukaryotice which means there cells contain nucleus

M.A.C. is not tested on animals.

As long as the makeup isn't made from the blood of any animals..

No they do not

Yes, some animals are harmed during testing for makeup. But it only depends on the product being used.

No Makeup academy do not test on animals. It normally states this on a sign when you pick the makeup academy product up.

I cannot sit and list all the companies who may use inhumane methods of testing their makeup. The more and more people take a stance against animal cruelty, the more companies are willing to change the testing. The best way to make sure the makeup you are using was not tested on animals is to look on the tag for a phrase that would say "NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS" or "NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN…

that the controversy was around chapters in which the animals speak to one another.

lipgloss has whale blubber in

for makeup and stuff....NEXT!

Loyal Shame etc.

Most make-up tells you if it has not been tested on animals. If it doesn't...then most likely it was tested on animals.

Well I know that mac doesn't test make up on animals,

Yes. Most major cosmetics companies test on animals. More and more companies are not testing on animals. Among those are: Aveda, Avon Cosmetics, Clinique Makeup, Estee Lauder, and Nordstrom Cosmetics to name a few.

It will say on the bottle or website if it is NOT tested on animals. If it doesnt say anything it probably is tested on animals

Belowis a website that tells all companies that STILL TEST ON ANIMALS! Boycott them NOW!!

Yes, it is very harmful because the chemicals in makeup is poison to the animals.

They do not test their finished products on animals, which are products that are ready to go on the market.

flaws in their genetic makeup

It is a SIN against humanity.

when makeup products don't hurt animals and/or plants and/or anything natural, except for a human woman's face. :\

People always want to be secure with their makeup, so they think that the makeup that's tested won't hurt them.

Lip stick and eye make-up.

Maybelline,L'Oreal,cover girl and garnier

i know for sure Mary kay dosent

Yes but it shouldn't be allowed it is cruel.

make up can be tested on animals Makeup, medicine, chemicals, and just all kinds of horrific and disgusting things.

It's mainly about the benefits and disbenefits of animal testing. There are disbenefits, such as loss of money and harassing the animals. On the other hand, the benefit is research help on humans, companies' products, and medicine for humans. So the controversy is this I guess, is it worth to harass animals and lose money for helping research on humans, companies' products, and medicine for humans even though animals are dying.

Yes it is very wrong! Think about it. They have no idea if their product is going to cause a reaction. The animal could suffer from allergic reactions, skin conditions, and could have fatal results. In my opion testing makeup on animals is animal abuse.

If you would like an answer to your question, please clarify it. What controversy is "this controversy"?

It is when they test makeup on animals, that might also mean perfume.

To be reasonably certain that the chemicals used in the makeup are safe for humans.

mesopotamian people wore fur from the animals they killed.

the simplest answer is the lab mice or rats. it can be also used on monkeys.

No, they don't. Look at there website for more details.

sometimes or most of the time they test stuff on animals like bunnies

If they do it is only Make up that isn't tested on Animals.

It kills them and makes them ill and sometimes have a slow painful death.

Actually, they don't look so good as once they've finished testing most animals are killed.

Their is no such thing as organic makeup , rather , less harmful makeup. The benefits of using "organic" makeup is: If you have acne, this will cause little to NO irritation Sometimes in "organic" foundation it will not look like paint against the skin...it will move along with the skin, or add a natural looking shine or glow. "Organic" makeup usually stays on longer than regular makeup(applys with;Lipstick,eyeshadow,mascara,eyeliner,ect.) "Organic" makeup is HARDLY EVER tested…

perfume, makeup, dog food, cat food ect

no not at all. they do not have the genetic makeup needed to complete photosynthesis and they are not plants.

only Beverly hills chiauaus Plenty of rodents, cats , dogs, birds, repltiles , amphibians , fish , monkeys and farm animals.

I don't think any animals. You just see that stuff in movies. No one out there (especially a business) would do something like that to animals because there is the first reason that we are animals too and we aren't as cruel as every one makes us out to be. Really I have never heard of any animals that have been forced to wear makeup. ------------------- Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the question, but if you are…

They test make-up by putting the make-up on a dead person.

As opposed to not being tested on animals? ALL makeup is ultimately tested on humans to be sure humans like wearing it, and that it stays on them long enough to make applying it worthwhile.

The alternatives are either clones of animals,or using humans. Animals have a very similar genetic makeup so they are ideal for testing in preliminary rounds. So in a nutshell, no.
