Ok so this is the catch. When a company says that they do not test on animals that may be well and true. But most of the time they outsource this task. So instead of testing it themselves and having to write that on the labels. They pay some other company to test the products on animals. So it's all legal. It's all legit. They don't test on animals. When in actual fact they do. They're just playing the game so they can avoid writing it. So yes. MAC DO TEST ON ANIMALS.

NARS does not test on animals. I confirmed this with the American and Canadian offices yesterday. Their parent company does, but not them specifically. NARS also has some vegan options. It's up to individual to decide if the parent company is enough for them to not buy NARS or not.
When I contacted I specifically asked if they tested during development/manufacturing, had 3rd parties do so, or buy from suppliers that test, sell/manufacture in china currently or plan to in the near future and if they had vegan products

Also even though a company does not test the final product on animals a lot of the time they will test the individual ingredients on the animals. Also most of the companies that state they don't test on animals outsource the responsibility and pay another company to do it for them so they can clearly state on their labels, WE DO NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS. When in actual fact they've paid someone else to do it. Terrible!

If you plan to stop buying based on testing (I think I am) please do contact the company to let them know and be sure to put on their Facebook page. Not many people will take the time to write so they assume every letter represents the views of several hundred customers. If there is a home office in your area consider making an apt or dropping by to tell them in person. Download an article or two to leave with them.

Sorry for kind of getting off topic about another company.. but nothing annoys me more then a company trying to trick their buyers with carefully worded statements and by hiding facts. I wish they were just honest.

Yes! They're owned by estee lauder, which does test on animals because they outsourced to china. Its terrible!

They are owned by Estée Lauder who is not cruelty free. And I believe MAC is not cruelty free since March.

I thought only the parent company did, Estée Lauder. A parent co can test but that doesn't mean the company does.

My friend did an essay on animal testing (i'm in grade 8) and there were lots of makeup brands that test on animals, i dont remember all of them but MAC and Covergirl are two of them

MAC, Smashbox, Bobbi Brown, Urban Decay, Maybelline, Revlon, Covergirl, Loreal, Estee Lauder, Lancome, Clinique, Loreal, Almay, Rimmel, NYC, Clarins, NARS, Makeup Forever, Sephora Brand, Benefit... these are just some of the major makeup brands out there that DO test on animals. I'm just listing these from memory.. I'm sure there are many more I couldn't think of. It's a very sad truth.

That is a good idea to write them all a letter. I only use cruelty free products (makeup, skin care, hair stuff, everything). I never thought about telling the brands I ditched about it. I thought MUFE and Revlon were cruelty free :( that's really unfortunate. Time to send out some emails!
