Recs for Eyebrows

UMDTerpFan — Tue, 01 Jul 2014 04:28:34 GMT

I was using Trish McEvoy's Precision Eyebrow Pencil but I've gone through two of them in no time flat so I need to find another product that lasts longer. In the past I've used Tarte's Amazonian Clay Brow Mousse and Mally's Universal Instant Brow Wand (formerly called Brow Beauty Brow Fix?) and I just do not think either of those have staying power. I've been wearing Tarte's brow mousse for the past two days and it fades and looks like I have no brows pretty quickly after putting it on. It's supposed to be waterproof so I thought that would mean that it had staying power but it just does not on me. Can anyone recommend other brow products that look good & natural but also is long wearing? TIA.

I'm not sure if the Q still sells it...........but when Dalton was still Dalton, I bought a set that included a slanted brush and a pot of, I'd guess it's between a cream and a gel. It's in a little pot and you seal it on the insides before replacing the lid.

It has been lasting forever and forever. Once it's on it doesn't budge until I take off my MU.

I've heard good things about IT Cosmetics' brow product.

go to the drugstore and pick up the Milani brow powder. I think it was 7.99? you get 2 shades, a highlighter, a pair of tweezers and two applicators. it's lasted me forever and it stays on all day

When I think of brows I think of Anastasia. In my opinion the brow wiz is the best brow pencil out there.

The Tarte cream is useless, doesn't stay on. My favorite is the Dalton one, stays on all day and while sleeping too. I see others say the Dalton product has changed. What happened to Doris? I'll freak if I can't get her brow gel as I have no brows. The Mally gel pot is good too but it's a second best only..item no. A221599

I use Anastasia brow powder. One little container lasts me about a year! I use a slanted eyebrow brush with it. I have very sparse brows and this looks very natural. It took me a long time to find something that I thought looked natural enough. Sephora and Ulta sell it, and they also have their own website. On their website it tells you how to decide which shade that would be right for you.

I use Benefit Gimme Brow to fill in; then, wherever there are still sparse areas, I use Maybelline Color Tattoo shadow in Tough as Taupe. I got the tip about the Color Tattoo from this board, and it works wonderfully. Looks natural and stays put.

I LOVE my Anastasia Kit, because it comes in more shades of colors than red, blonde and brown. You can get a lighter taupe that doesn't make you look like Groucho. Two shades of brow color, two ended brush, good tweezers, gel and it fits in a little case that is just right. I don't leave home without it. I personally feel groomed brows are the most de-aging thing you can do to your face.

Try using brown or taupe eye shadow. I brush on BB nudes palette w/a stiff brush and it works great if you have brows and are just making more even. If you have no brows maybe there's a better fix.

I have suggested this method at nauseum. Some women have a problem with staying power, try to apply eyeshadow primer on your brows (without moisturizer) let it set well. Your product will not budge. I use Anastasia for brows & still use a primer. You can also try NYX eyebrow cake powder which is similar which come with 2 shade with a brow gel, slanted brow brush & spooly. I lightly apply my pencil just under my brow then take it on top & fill it slightly with brow powder & I do get quite a natural look. Both powders have different shades.

I also like the brow wiz although I""m not sure of its staying power. i avoid touching the area.

2 Pencils--Dior Brow & YBF. At opposite ends of the $$ scale, obviously. But I like both. I've been using the YBF a lot lately and if I really just follow my brow and make short strokes with the pencil, it's the best, most natural-looking pencil I've used.

NYX used to make a product called Browser (???). Was a tiny compact with a color powder, gel, and tiny brush. I used to love and use this all the time. I don't know if it's still available, but I'm pretty certain if it is it's still under around $6.

Also, I like Benefit's brow product (the one with the mascara wand and color gel), but I've found that the lightest of hand is needed to apply this correctly.

I second Anastasia for brows! I love Dipbrow & it has staying power. Here's the link:

Another vote for brow wiz! Goes on easily, covers nicely (I have a few grays) and it stays all day for me. I use her brow gel and allow to dry.

I am cost conscious as well. One brow wiz takes me thru 90 days. I use it daily for work and weekends. I look scary without brows!!

I just got Benefit Browzings at Sephora. It comes with a pigmented wax for shaping, and powder for setting. Everything you need to apply it comes with it. It's the only thing I've tried that looks natural, and not have the Groucho Marx effect. If you want natural looking brows, and not the dark caterpillar look, I think you might like it. The product stays on well, and is easy to apply.

IT Cosmetic's brow products work fabu for me.....the original one she started with stays on me until I wash it off.

I like the others just as much..they last well on me too, the taupe shades work on my sparse brown brows.

I am looking for a new, sweat-proof brow product.

I've been using YBF & that is OK when the weather is cool. But it is hot & humid now and my brows disappear quickly - even before I workout. If I could find something that would even last through my workouts I'd be a very happy camper. At the very least I need something that can last through the rest of my day.

Found Laura Geller's brow markers to be excellent: stays put all day. If you make a mistake applying, get a Q-tip and erase. Best to do this quickly though! H T H
