Hello, lovelies!
This post contains affiliate links.
When I made the switch to 100% cruelty-free beauty, I had to change my everyday face. I’m still looking for a good, cruelty-free primer. I adore Hourglass’ Mineral Veil Primer, but I just can’t get myself to pay that much. If you have recommendations for a primer or setting spray (that isn’t Urban Decay), please let me know!
The Tools
I purchased these brushes before I switched to cruelty-free beauty, so I won’t list their brands here. As soon as I have the money, I’m definitely buying some from Furless. I absolutely can’t do my face without my Beauty Blender. I’ve tried other, cheaper brands, and none of them could compare.

The Everyday Face
I know it sounds like a lot of steps, but it really takes less than half an hour. If I’m short on time, I skip the Brow Pot and contouring. I only apply lashes, if I’m wearing contacts. Lashes and glasses do not get along.
How do you do your everyday face? Let me know in the comments! xo
My everyday face is basic as basic can be – moisturizer with sunscreen, Revlon mineral foundation in light/pale (and I buy a discontinued type off amazon because they stopped selling it in stores!), Revlon lipstick in the few colors that suit me, and only since reading your site have I bought a brow pencil (I quite like the way it looks now so I won’t be going back – I can hide the patchy bits!). None of this contouring cause that’s voodoo! Voodoo, I tell you!
You have a great everyday face routine! I love that you use a brow pencil now! I was a little late to the eyebrow party myself. It’s amazing how much a tiny change can affect how your face looks.
