In the face of global crises and the heartbreaking events unfolding in Palestine, it’s crucial to have a thoughtful reflection on our consumer choices, emphasizing the need to align ourselves with brands that advocate for humanity and kindness.
Especially as amidst the chaos, there is silence, and indifference of powerful figures, particularly Western leaders claiming to be champion of human rights.
In this blog, I have made a list of Pro Palestinian Makeup Brands. I will be listing the makeup brands that I have tried and tested, and about which I am sure
Let’s explore these brands that advocate for the Palestinian cause or denounce genocide
1. Huda Beauty: A Pro Palestinian Makeup Brand
The first brand is Huda Beauty, which needs no introduction. It is one of the few vocal brands supporting the Palestinian cause. The brand is based in the UAE, and actively supports the Palestinian cause, making it top most in the Pro Palestinian Makeup Brands list.
(United Arab Emirates recognises Israel and has done billion dollar worth of trade deals with Israel)
This is a Pakistani brand and one of my favorite due to its affordable and high-quality products. Luscious Cosmetics is also a female-centric brand led by entrepreneur Mehrbano Sethi. Luscious Cosmetics products suit Indian skin tones more especially the lipsticks and eye makeup. As a Pakistani brand, Luscious Cosmetics proudly stands in solidarity with Palestine and is a Pro Palestinian Makeup Brand.
(Pakistan does not recognise Israel)

This is a beauty brand from Türkiye, committed to vegan, halal, and cruelty-free products. It provides a range of makeup and skincare items. Though not explicitly Pro Palestinian, Note Beauty refrains from having direct ties with Israel.
(Türkiye Cumhuriyeti recognises Israel)
4. Pat McGrath
Founded by the influential makeup artist Pat McGrath, this US-based brand delivers top-notch quality and versatility. I have been a fan of its lipsticks and foundation. While Pat McGrath’s explicit stance on the Palestinian cause isn’t showcased, it maintains no ties with Israel.
(The United States recognizes and supports Israel, including providing arms that are used in the Genocide in Palestine)
5. Innisfree – Korea
A beloved Korean brand known for its versatile products and skincare-infused makeup, Innisfree remains neutral in the political realm but steers clear of ties with Israel.
(South Korea recognizes Israel and maintains a neutral stance on the issue, largely influenced by the United States)
6. Kiko Milano – Italy
This Italian brand, renowned for its quality products, maintains a neutral stance regarding the Palestinian cause but is not associated with Israel. It is also easily available in Europe, Asia, and America.
(Italy recognizes Israel and supports Israel, including providing arms that are used in the Genocide in Palestine)
7. Makeup Revolution – UK
A popular and affordable UK brand,Makeup Revolution is widely accessible globally with many people swearing by its products. While not explicitly a Pro Palestinian makeup brand it maintains no direct ties with Israel
(The United Kingdom recognizes and supports Israel, including providing arms that are used in the Genocide in Palestine)
8. Bourjois – France
Bourjois is a French makeup brand acquired by the COTY group. I absolutely love this brand due to the amazing quality of its products, especially the foundcealer, which is great for acne-prone skin. Bourjois offers a wide range of products, the majority of which I find to be top-notch.
It is also easily available in the EU and Asia but is not readily accessible in the USA.
Again, Bourjois is not explicitly Pro Palestinian makeup brand but it has no direct ties with Israel.

9. Lakme – India
As India’s leading makeup brand, Lakme (owned by Unilever Hindustan) caters to Indian skin tones. It has a wide range of products available. I love its Kajal pencil a lot due to its intense pigmentation.
It is easily available in South Asia and the Middle East but is not readily accessible in the USA and EU.
Although not a Pro Palestinian makeup brand it refrains from direct ties with Israel.

10. Ingrid – Poland
Ingrid is a Polish brand, and I am literally in love with it. All the products I have tried from Ingrid are awesome. One downside is availability; outside the EU, it is not easily accessible, and it is sad that people don’t know what they are missing out on.
Again, this brand is not explicitly a Pro Palestinian makeup brand but it has no direct ties with Israel
(Poland recognises and supports Israel)
11. Wet n Wild – USA with a Taiwanese Twist
Wet n Wild, a household name, hails from the US but is owned by the Taiwanese Markwins group. I guess everyone will agree on how versatile, creative, and awesome Wet n Wild is. Again, Wet n Wild is not explicitly a Pro Palestinian makeup brand but it has no direct ties with Israel.
(The United States recognizes and supports Israel, including providing arms that are used in the Genocide in Palestine)
12. Sapphire Cosmetics – Pakistan
A Pakistani gem, Sapphire Cosmetics offers affordable, high-quality products especially for acne-prone and oily skin tones. I love how it has taken inspiration from high-profile brands and worked on its packaging.
You can order the products from their website, and they deliver easily in most areas, like the EU and USA. I have tried their foundation, and it is a dupe of Giorgio Armani Silk Foundation, so if you are a fan, I’m sure you will love it at a fraction of the price.
As a Pakistani brand, Sapphire Cosmetics is a Pro Palestinian makeup brand.
(Pakistan does not recognise Israel)
13. Essence Cosmetics – Germany
This German brand is known for its affordable and high-quality products. I love how the eye pencils are so pigmented, and even a single swipe is enough. Essence is easily available worldwide although it is not explicitly a Pro Palestinian makeup brand but it has no direct ties with Israel.
(Germany recognizes and supports Israel, including providing arms that are used in the Genocide in Palestine)
14. Fame Cosmetics – Malaysia
Fame Cosmetics is a Malaysian brand and offers great products albeit with limited global accessibility. As a Malaysian brand, it is a a Pro Palestinian makeup brand.

I hope that this guide is useful for you especially as you have been looking for Pro Palestinian makeup brands. I will keep on adding more products to the list. However, I would like to state that that the reality is far from black and white when it comes to supporting Pro Palestinian makeup brands.
For example, while majority of the people are boycotting brands like L’oreal. Very few of us question that what muslim countries particularly Arab countries have actually done for the Palestinian cause. A glaring example is the questionable stance of the UAE, exemplified by inviting the President of Israel during a critical period, lending legitimacy to an ongoing humanitarian crisis.
In conclusion, As we stand witness to the plight of the Palestinian people and the world’s response, our consumer decisions can become a powerful tool in shaping a more compassionate and conscientious global community.
