Shopping for vegan makeup, vegan skincare and vegan tan has never been easier, as most brands have made great strides to eliminate animal-derived ingredients from their products. In most cases, where animal products or by-products were used previously, synthetic and plant-based sources are now used today. To be sure a product is vegan, it is recommended that you check for certified vegan beauty logos like Leaping Bunny and The Vegan Society, and ingredient lists can be checked using PETA's animal-derived ingreidnets list to understand what is in your new beauty product. When something is formulated without animal products or by-products (like lanolin, beeswax, milk derivatives or egg whites) it's described as 'vegan-friendly' and if it's labelled cruelty-free as well, that means the product and its ingredients have not been tested on animals. From all of the of vegan makeup, skin and tan products we love, here are our top 15 buys for brides and bridesmaids. 1.

Doctrine Divinity Cleansing Balm, €42 This eco-friendly, plant-based cleanser is infused with calming spiruline and yarrow extrats - perfect for stressed skin.

Coco & Eve Sunny Hunny Antioxidant Face Tanning Micromist, €29.90 This is a clever little buy for the face, neck and decolletage. A microfine self-tan mist is brilliant for topping up the areas people can see, in between full-body tan sessions. Between exfoliation, twice daily cleansing and/or retinol in your routine, self-tan disappears faster on the face than it does on the body. A quick spritz (left side, centre, right side) in a downward direction will restore that golden glow where you need it. It's scented with passionfruit, watermelon and coconut, making it a very yummy tan hack! 5.
