All About Brows

Hello,  I am lucky to have born with full brows.  But as time passes with over plucking and tweezing, I am left with some miniscule bald spots.  For the most part, I can live without filling in my brows.  But there are times when I want to achieve a more polished and youthful look, having fuller brows to frame the face is key.

I mostly rely on brow pencils over the years.  Occasionally, I also like using brow powder or eyeshadow because it creates a natural look that is not as harsh looking as you would get from pencils.  Therefore with pencils, I prefer to use ones that have a powdery finish to achieve a softer look.  I have been using three different brow pencils lately and they are all great in their own little ways...




Same order in both pictures:

Top - Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 002 Hazel - Warmest brown out of the three pencils.  Great for brunettes with warm or golden highlights or redheads

Middle - Tom Ford Brow Sculptor in 02 Taupe - Cool grayish brown.  I blogged about it here last year.  The flat slanted tip is the best.  This sculptor is also the most water resistant

Bottom - MAC Veluxe Brow Liner in Brunette - Neutral brown that leans warm.  This is the softest and has the most powdery finish out of the three

From drugstore to high-end, I currently love all three.  They all come with a brush on one end for blending.  Have you tried these brow pencils?  What is your HG brow product?

Until next post......

  2. I haven't tried those particular pencils but they all sound great! :) I'm currently using Benefit's Brow Zings but don't know if it has HG status. I am actually thinking of trying MUFE's Aqua Brow next. :P

  4. I did once have full brows until I overplucked and they didn't grow back :( I endured a brow tattoo which was painful but ultimately worth it cause it saved me alot of time filling in my brows which I still do with a Lioele Auto Eyebrow Pencil which I think is a pretty awesome product :)

  5. I'm pretty hopeless when it comes to brows, it definitely needs to be filled in daily though. My favorite product is Lioele Auto Eyebrow Pencil, it matches my skintone really well!

  6. Thin brows run in my family.. I'm scared for the day that all my hairs fall out, haha! I don't use a pencil for brows, but I use the Benefit Brow-zings kit with the wax & powder. Love it!

  7. Full brows were so "in" - I think they still are but not as much. They really do make the face look more youthful - love that picture of Arizona Muse. I don't do anything with my brows usually, but I have a Rimmel pencil for when I want to put in a bit of effort :p

  8. I haven't tried the Deborah Lippmann one yet but will check it out if the Dior one doesn't work out. (Hopefully I won't have to of course) Speaking of DL polishes, I still want to try Candy Shop. I'm so behind...lol! ;)

    Happy weekend!!
