Hi Shara,

It doesn’t have carmine. 🙂 I just realized that I forgot to include my explanation about ColourPop in the post, so I’ve added that in. Carmine is in the +/- list for items, which doesn’t necessarily mean it is an ingredient.

ColourPop currently includes the same +/- ingredient listing for all of their products. This +/- list contains animal ingredients as ingredients. I have discussed this with ColourPop and they have confirmed that the only ColourPop products that contain carmine are a couple of Super Shock Shadows and Super Shock Cheek shades, as well as one Ultra Matte Lipstick. So many of their products are vegan that their FAQ actually lists what’s not vegan instead but it’s a much shorter list. The reason that they do this, and why many other brands do as well, is because it makes things quicker when making packaging and labels. It’s confusing for customers for sure, but as a brand ColourPop is really transparent about what options people have.

I hope this helps!
