Now, for a ray of hope.

I guess you mean products that specifically say they were not tested on animals. Those products use formulas that were already known to be benign to humans by previous testing. Basically think of a company that creates a new foundation that was tested on animals first to know if it would have an adverse chemical reaction, which it did at first and many pigs and bunnies died in the name of that foundation.
Then another company makes the same, now tested, formula and sells their own foundation. They said "well, we didn't harm any animals" but they're still selling a product that wouldn't have existed if another company hadn't tried it with animal experimentation.

Solution: Use berries and shit to make your own makeup.

...no, I don't. I'm sure you didn't mean to be patronizing, but I did mean what I said. There is plenty of makeup out there that is handmade, from natural ingredients, by people developing their own mixes and recipes. It's not just a choice between "currently testing" and "used to test" anymore.

I once made cheek tint from roasted beets! It was sorta fun. But then, I'm okay with being a cave woman, so disregard if you wish. (I also just really like making things.)

I was being facetious like Deadly.

This is even more promising.
