Brow Essentials

I speak/write an awful lot about brows and cannot stress enough the value a well-groomed/shaped brow can add to your face; they frame and highlight the face. The face is the first thing people see; why distract them with an unruly/unkempt or misshaped brow?

Fear not! Here are some of my favorite tools to help keep your brows in order:

If you are trying to grow in sparse brows that have been waxed too much or tweezed to oblivion, try Ardell's Lash and Brow Growth Accelerator. Typically, I recommend an application twice a day (morning and evening) to help accelerate growth.

Admittedly, creating the perfect brow can sometimes be a task but with Ardell’s Brow Perfection Stencils it is much easier. They work well for those who need help shaping or recreating and those who don’t have much hair. Stencils come in Delicate, Elegant, Glamorous and Classic. Use the stencil that best matches your natural arch.

To add precision and definition choose from either the Lorac Creamy Brow Pencil or the Benefit Brow Zings applied with MAC 208 Angled Brow Brush. The Lorac Creamy Brow Pencil is perfect multi-tasking tool. Brush and tame unruly hairs with one end and fill-in, shape and define your brows with the specially formulated textured pencil. The Benefit Cosmetics Brow Zings allows you to custom blend the perfect shade to create a natural look. Available in light, medium and deep. You can use the angled brush included in the it. However, I prefer to apply the powder using the MAC 208 Angled Brow Brush. It is the perfect width so it allows a more natural application of the powder. (Note: the brush included in Brow Zings is a bit thicker than preferred. The thicker the brush, the thicker and less-refined the application will be)

For the girl-on-the-go, the Tarte Cosmetics Toolbox Brow Know-How Eyebrow Kit is the perfect all-in-one mini toolkit. Contains brow pencil, wax, powder, gel, tweezers, stencils, mini-angled brush and a mirror. Kits are available in three different shades (light, medium, dark) to match pencil and powder to your hair color.

Anastasia's Clear Brow Gel is a necessity in my kit and the finishing touch. For quick grooming or after you have created the perfect brow, use the brow gel to keep hairs in place.
