June 13, 2017I ordered cocoa bear, frappe, latte and creme brulee having researched that they are carmine free and vegan friendly but was surprised to see carmine included in ingredient -listing. So these shades and others listed on ur page are definitely vegan friendly?

June 13, 2017I checked the 4 eye shadow colors you mentioned and I didn’t see Carmine listed as an ingredient. However if you see Carmine in the ingredient list under “May Contain”.. this doesn’t necessarily mean that the particular color contains carmine. They sometimes use the same ingredient label across multiple shades. If you want extra reassurance whether the colors you bought are carmine-free, Makeup Geek themselves have a list you can check out here! https://www.makeupgeek.com/content/makeup-geek-cruelty-free-and-vegan-info/
