I used this brands brow pencil and it was good. Got it way back when this brand started--haven't bought anymore since--I found and  love Benefits brow pencil.

@katie1859   She's been around a very long time. Starting with brows, her brow mapping technique got her the attention of celebrities and the rest is history. She created her own brow products and then moved on to boutiques, etc. 

 

She has since added shadow, lip products, foundations, concealers and almost a full line of cosmetics.

 

I used to like her Brow Wiz but now use RMS brow products.

@Shanus   I have both the Brow Wiz (thin one) and the thicker one that's in a triangular shape.  I don't really know how to use the triangular one.  I feel like a dope.  Maybe I should have gotten one that has the tiny-hairstrokes effect...you know, it's like a marker.  This triangular one just stumps me.  Any advice?

@BarbiHollywood   Take the tiangular one at an angle so the thin line can make hair like strokes especially at the beginning of the brow where the "hairs" should look lighter and more sparse. Then you can tun the pencil to the broad side to fill in areas making the highest point at the arch a bit stronger and then lighter pressure as you approach the end of the brow. Difficult to explain w/o actually showing you. Hope this helps a little.

Anastasia started with brows decades ago. I've been using her brow powder for at least 20 years. Looks like she's expanding her line.

I like her lipstick. I have the color praline. It looks rosier and stronger on the color chart. It's not. It's a medium brown with a little rose. I don't have good lips so this color is neutral for me. Goes on creamy and doesn't migrate into lines.

Didn't see the show, but I love her Brow Wiz.... Have been using it for several years now, and it is the best thing that I have tried for my brows.

 

I like other brow products, but this is my fav for the most natural looking brow and easy to apply! I use the Chocolate shade. The only other product I have tried from her is her gloss and it was too matte for me. COlor was grogeous though!

@Shanus Thanks for that, and yes, it does help!  I felt like I was making my brows too thick and was drawing outside the lines, so to speak!!  I'll try it your way.  If I still can't fully grasp it, I can always exchange it.  My right brow is so much better than my left.  What's that saying -- "they can bie sisters, not twins."
