The face-shaping, eye-opening power of a pair of well-groomed and shapely brows is a topic we girls could go on and on about. So, please indulge us!
Taking 30 seconds to brush up your brows and fix them in place will leave you looking instantly more awake and fresh, and flatter your natural facial features – which is probably why the sales of eyebrow products skyrocketed during lockdown.
Much to our delight, this season has seen a barrage of new brow products hit the market, which we have taken great joy in testing-our sleep-deprived eyes have certainly thanked us for it:
“The newest kid on the block, and one of my favourite launches of recent years is the Brow Microfilling Pen by Benefit Cosmetics ($44). Designed to imitate the look of microblading, where ultra-fine, her-like strokes are applied to the eyebrows with a semi-permanent dye, this is a washable, affordable ‘cheat’ version.
The three-pronged nib makes creating the illusion of thicker, fuller brows a total breeze. I’m also really impressed with the range of shades on offer.”
“This spiky, ball-shaped spoolie looks more like a medieval flail than a brow brush, but I promise it’s completely foolproof.
Just wiggle the tip through your brows in an upward motion, or angled slightly towards your brows’ respective temple, and the formula-boded bristles will coat every single hair for ultimate stay-power.
Whether you’re a first-time user or a master-level crafter, this Maybelline New York TattooStudio Eyebrow Gel ($19) is easily the best drugstore brow gel I’ve tried!”
“I highly recommend the Brow Pen by Anastasia Beverly Hills ($38), whose founder Anastasia tease plays brow-tamer to the Kardashians.
The elegant felt tip applies beautiful brushstrokes of watercolour-esque ink, which is both sweat-proof and waterproof.
It takes some practise, but once you get the hang of It, the results are great!”
We nourish our hair and skin with treatments, oils and serums, but we’ve never thought to do it for our brows… until now. This daily Amy Jean Privee Collection Daily Brow Mask ($86) is enriched with castor, argan, sweet almond, and sunflower oils to deeply nourish, tame and promote brow growth.
