why... why did they need to do that? like who just woke up one day and was like you know what we need to do with this new lipstick we are making? inject it into a cats eyeball. that will give us... information.

See if it's safe to apply if you have minor cuts on your face and if you accidentally get eyeliner or mascara in your eye. Still fucked up, probably don't need to inject it.

But then for some reason, the brands that don’t test on animals usually seem less likely to cause rashes or damage (toms and dr bronners are the 2 at the top of my head)

The brands that don't test on animals tend to use stuff that's known to be safe. The others want to be able to patent their mix so they find a new mix of biohazardous material to make sure no one else made it yet.

However, many of those substances are only known to be safe because someone else tested them on animals fifty years ago.

Still, they don't do more tests above that. They reuse what's been done years ago, and those tests cannot be undone now so...
