Sometime last year, I decided to switch my beauty routine to cruelty-free products only. It's been simultaneously easy and hard — easy because there are a lot more cruelty-free beauty brands than I initially realized, hard because it takes trial and error to find products that are worth finishing. (I'm probably one transaction away from being on the no-fly list of Sephora's return policy.)
The hardest product to replace was my trusty brow pencil. Cool blondes know that a natural-looking, ashy blond brow pencil is a near-impossible find; most blond pencils have a strangely warm, red tinge. But Kat Von D's Signature Brow Precision Pencil in Light Brown, $21, is a winner. This cruelty-free pencil has the perfect grayish undertone and lasts all day. And the tip is a game-changer: It's shaped like a little dash, so adding hairlike strokes to brows has never been easier. — Katie McCarthy
