The One Brow Product You Should Be Using

For someone who has massacred her brows again and again (even after waiting patiently for them to grow back in, only to accidentally snip them too short), filling in brows is tricky. And sure, I'm not a makeup artist, but the products out there aren't exactly easy to use. Pencils are hard to match to your hair color, waxes almost never show up, powders show up too much, and mousse, which is good, is hard to find. However, backstage at Isabel Marant this season, I came across a foolproof brow groomer that won't make you look like Groucho Marx.

The product is--drumroll please--Anastasia Beverly Hills Tinted Brow Gel. "A lot of eyebrow products can be very dirty-looking colors that are cold and grayish," says makeup artist Lisa Butler (see, it's not my lack of hand/eye coordination!). "Anastasia just kind of worked out how to fix that with these brow mascaras. The colors are warmer, so brows are not just thicker and darker, but healthier-looking. Plus, they have a bit of shimmer in the formula, which makes it look like real hair." And there's a shade for everyone. At the show, Butler used Blonde (a golden taupe) and Auburn (a reddish brown), but there's also a dark, dark brown (Espresso) and multiple variations of brunette. Anastasia even managed to create a flattering gray tone by mixing in a healthy dose of brown to keep the color from looking too ashy. So if you weren't blessed with strong Cara Delevingne arches, or you're a compulsive brow groomer like me, I suggest getting your hands on these magic wands very soon.
