Are you supposed to apply the pencil/brush color to the SKIN under your brow, or just try to apply it to the brow hairs? I thought I knew the answer to this, but after reading some Tarte brow mousse reviews, I am terribly confused.... Thanks for any responses to my silly question!

I've used a powder before and it would be applied with a brush. I'd swirl, tap, and brush it on then use a spoolie brush to comb/brush over them. The powder was just covering the hair, not staining the underlying skin. Nowadays I'm using either a YBF or IT brow pencil that also has a spoolie brush on the opposite end. With that, it's just light feathery strokes until the correct coloring and shaping is achieved and then I use the spoolie to brush through them.

I haven't read about the Tarte brow mousse. Why are you confused?

ETA - I paid closer attention while applying my brow pencil the morning and it does seem to go on the underlying skin a bit, especially if there is a bare spot. But to clarify, I only use the short, feathery strokes and follow the direction that the brow hair is growing. I don't move it away to purposely get at the skin. KWIM?

I gave up on brow products because I can't seem to get the hang of a polished but natural look! Maybe I'm just not used to seeing me with noticeable brows!!! Any way, I know how you feel. I've tried pencils, powders, gels, marker-type products, etc. I recently saw that Avon has a little kit on sale which has a powder and a clear setting type pomade. I am tempted to try this! It looks easy enough. Maybe you might want to look into this!

On the brow hairs and on the skin underneath. But rather than a pencil, I get more precision with a brow brush (Smashbox). The brush is stiff and angled and just right to apply powder/wax over all the area of the brow that you want to intensify.

On the brow hair and on the skin. My brows have thinned with age so I have to apply to the skin at the beginning and tail to get a nice shape.

Ps: I use IT's YBBB skinny tip pencil. Lasts all day.

On the skin and brow ..... I use ELF, which has the colored "wax" and powder finish. I have tried using it with just the wax part (no powder) and it works great both ways and it lasts all day.

I use the Benefit pencil, but I can't use the stuff with the brush. There just aren't any hairs left to stick to. Results of menopause I guess, I now have virtually no eyebrows left.

I am so happy with "Bobbie Brown Brow Kit". It's easy to use and lasts all day. The brush applies the powder to the skin. Also, since the brush is stiff, it brushes the hair down. I've used other products in the past, however, didn't like the ones that left the brow feeling like there was product on it. Especially the ones that made the brow stiff. This does not. You won't even know that you have it on. Only a little powder is needed, so the kit will last a long time. It defines the brow very nicely. I first tried it at a Nordstorm's counter. Absolutely love it!!!
