I think everyone should thank their lucky stars that they aren't my boyfriend and didn't have to hear every single mope, complaint, and wallow I had about finding affordable vegan make-up in a variety of shades. Of course, there are many companies but I just wasn't finding companies that really "fit". Most I had to buy full size on shades I didn't know if I even wanted. Then, while going deep through the wormhole that is the internet I found "Shiro Cosmetics".

"Making nerds sparkly since 2010! Run by two rad ladies working out of beautiful Portland, Oregon."
They are an indie make up company from Portland, Oregon. All products are vegan and 100% cruelty free. I love nothing more than not having to go through the hassle of cross checking ingredients. They now have Detrivore cosmetics on their page which aren't vegan but thankfully they make that VERY clear when you come across their cosmetics. I chose to order 18 samples of a variety of browns and then some. The shipping was so quick, but then again, Seattle and Portland are connected pretty well.
After multiple uses I'm in love with "Cake" and will be definitely buying this full size, I believe "The Wandering Wizard" and "Attercop Attercop" will be used for my on stage make up! Definitely, strongly considering buying "Attercop Attercop" in full size the blue sparkles are awesome.
