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.

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
