Makeup Brands Like Too Faced

Whether it’s their cruelty-free commitment or their colorful packaging, there are plenty of reasons to love Too Faced. But no one wants to get stuck in a single-line makeup rut. We’ve got you covered.

Here are 22 outstanding makeup brands that are just as awesome as Too Faced and definitely deserve some love from you.

Why We Love Too Faced

Before we disclose our list of favorite brands, here are the four main reasons why we love Too Faced. We used these factors to curate our selection.

Fun Factor

Too Faced created the world’s first ever glitter eye shadow. What’s more fun than that? The brand is known for its colorful packaging and over-the-top product names like their sensational Better Than Sex mascara.

Our current favorite Too Faced product with a punch of that famous personality? The Pumpkin Spice line for all your autumn vibes.

 

Environmentally Friendly

Too Faced is committed to carbon neutral shipping. The company offsets the carbon emissions from shipping for every U.S. order placed on their website. They invest in three different forest growth projects.

 

Cruelty-Free Commitment

Too Faced Cosmetics has been a member of PETA’s Beauty Without Bunnies cruelty-free program since 2001. This status means they don’t test on animals anywhere in the world.

Are they vegan friendly too? While not all their products are vegan, Too Faced does offer a wide selection of vegan makeup.

 

Affordability

Too Faced is a high quality makeup line offering plenty of products at midrange and low prices.

 

22 Spectacular Makeup Brands Like Too Faced

ColourPop

ColourPop

ColourPop is best known for their affordable, high-quality dupes of their more expensive counterparts. A brand that’s not afraid of fun, their packaging to their seriously wide selection of colors is bright, bold, and popping.

Their creativity keeps us interested too. Just take a look at their new Harry Potter themed cosmetics line to see what we mean.

Too Faced fans will love their eyeshadow palettes, stellar packaging, and affordable prices.

We love them for their original product offerings, like their Beauty Advent Calendar.

Their brand also boasts a compassionate mission with their Bold is Beautiful line that donates 40 percent of proceeds to partner charities.

BH Cosmetics

BH Cosmetics

Completely loved for their eyeshadows which are a dream to work with – creamy blends, shimmery glitters, and all the colors. This affordable brand is US based, totally vegan, and cruelty-free.

Like Too Faced, they have a loveable, fun personality, not only offering a range of colors but colorfully named products and adorable packaging.

We recommend their eyeshadow palettes–bold, blendable, and long-lasting wear. Their starter brush kits are another amazing product, covering all the face and eye brushes you need to create any look.

Historically they’ve given to causes that help women, including those suffering from cancer, homelessness, or domestic violence.

Plus, all their products are vegan, cruelty-free, and without parabens or sulfates. Similar to Too Faced, we love beauty brands that make an effort to give back and to protect the planet.

When it comes to their products, they offer high-quality beauty basics in gorgeous, classy packaging. They are famous for their buildable mascara that brags to create eyelashes so thick and long that “instantly look like false lashes.”

Rare Beauty

Rare Beauty

Selena Gomez’s makeup brand has been a smash hit since it was released in 2020. The beauty line has gorgeously aesthetic packaging (cool pastels and gold embellishments), highly reviewed products, and a mission that’s easy to get behind.

Gomez has shared publicly about her own journey with mental health struggles and dedicated this brand’s mission to projects that help educate, inspire, and guide listeners on how to talk about mental wellness.

When it comes to the environment, all their outer packaging is 100% recyclable, and they continuously aim to lessen their carbon footprint.

Gomez wanted the products to be accessible and so created them with the idea that they offer enough shades and that yours is easy to find.

We recommend Rare Beauty for full-face makeup like their foundations, concealers, and luminizers.

Cruelty-Free: ✓

Affordability: $$

Our Favorite Product: Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush – $21

 

Beauty Pie

Beauty Pie

Beauty Pie was created as an alternative to outrageous markups on skincare and beauty products that make them unreachable to most consumers. This members-only beauty club quickly acquired a cult following.

While they do offer makeup, they are really known for their impressive skincare line that offers high-quality products like retinal treatments at non-astronomical prices.

Seeking radiant, dewy skin? Dive into their line for dermatologist-recommended, highly reviewed, affordable options.

They don’t sport vivid, lively packaging like Too Faced (removing expensive packaging is how they keep their prices low). And they don’t offer a selection of wow-ing eyeshadow in a plethora of glittery shades. But we recommend them for their insanely high-quality products at uniquely low prices.

Cruelty-Free: ✓

Our Favorite Product: Youthbomb 360 Radiance Concentrate – £44 to members

 

MAC Cosmetics

MAC Cosmetics

MAC Cosmetics is known for providing artist-quality products at consumer-friendly prices. They’ve been in the business since 1984 and haven’t suffered in credibility or quality for a moment.

In 1994 they began a campaign to spread awareness and provide support for those affected by HIV/ AIDS and were able to make a global impact.

Through their sale of the Viva Glam collection, they’ve raised $500 million and provided support to people and communities in need.

A fantastic selection of everything, including all the popping colors and glitter we know all Too Faced fans adore.

Kosas cosmetics is “makeup for skincare freaks.” That tagline is a tell-all. Perfect for a simple and streamlined routine, many of Kosas products combine skincare and makeup.

Choosing Your Next Favorite Makeup Brand

As you search for your next favorite beauty companion other than Too Faced, we recommend keeping these guidelines in mind.

  1. Skin shade is everything. Make sure the brand makes products for your skin tone or else it will never look quite right.
  2. Skincare is key. Think about your skin type. Sensitive? Oily? Dry? Skincare should be a huge consideration when you’re choosing what to put on your skin, especially if you have a daily makeup routine.
  3. Check your vibe. There are makeup brands for every kind of character! Do you like fun and flashy? Or are you a clean-faced beauty? Makeup brands are typically very forthcoming about their personality. Choose one that’s a good fit.

 

Conclusion

We hope you found this article helpful! It’s always fun to find alternative makeup brands that are similar to your favorite ones (like Too Faced), and it’s even better when the products are just as good.
