Waterproof Your Brows

Normally I don't do anything to my brows besides get them waxed at the Benefit store every 6 weeks or so and clean them up in between visits.  Mainly because one, I'm lazy and don't want to add even 60 seconds to my morning routine, and two, I am terrible at brow-related things and always figured if I tried to use brow powder on them, I would end up looking like I let a five year-old do it.  But then I accidentally plucked two random hairs from the middle of one of my brows, leaving a small blank spot in the middle of it (don't ask how it happened, let's just say "Teen Mom" had something to do with it.  I blame Amber). So I turned to Stila's new Stay All Day Waterproof Brow Color.  Basically, it's a little pen-like liner and you use the tiny felt tip to draw on the color wherever you need it.  It's super easy to control where the color goes and also easy to follow the natural line of your brows so it looks natural.  I filled in the empty space where the two hairs disappeared and it looked much, much better.  I even used it on my other eyebrow just to make it look a little darker and it looked great.  (And way cheaper than getting them tinted!)  They're available in two shades - Light and Medium - and the color didn't smudge or run at all until I took if off that night with a swipe of my eye makeup remover.  (I assume this is the way to take off eyebrow color.  If I'm doing it wrong, someone let me know!)  Definitely a worthwhile investment at $21 if you're looking for a new brow color.  Also?  Can someone please teach Amber how to say the word "jail?"  She pronounces it like "Jill" and it's driving me crazy.  Someone make her stop!

Brow Trio

I'm pretty low maintenance about my brows.  I get them waxed because there's no way I could even attempt to do that myself without accidentally ending up eyebrow-less.  And I get them tinted when I have time because it really does make a difference.  (I highly recommend trying it if you haven't already).  But on a normal, everyday basis, I really don't do anything else to them.  Or, at least, I didn't before trying out the new Brow Trio from Darac Beauty.  Now it's an essential (albeit, quick) part of my morning routine.  The slim stick holds three separate items - the chiseled brow pencil that I use to fill in the tiny areas where I got a little pluck happy, the brow comb that I use after the pencil to make sure the color is blended perfectly and my eyebrow hairs aren't all pointing in different directions, and a brightening powder that I sometimes use to highlight my brow bone.  It takes about a minute total and it makes my brows look much, much more polished.  (I will admit that before I started combing them every day, my brows sometimes looked a little mad scientist-like on the few occasions that I went too long between waxes).  For only $24, it's a worthwhile investment to make sure that your brows look great.
