I’ve long been distracted by people’s eyebrows—probably due to how long I’ve been battling my own, searching out the best way to shape them. I always notice if a person’s brows are overplucked, underplucked, drawn on or (deep breath here) untamed. I think these differences are a fascinating—and often a defining—feature of a person’s face. But I still want perfect brows. Which is why I’m constantly on the hunt for a product that will groom, tame and smooth brows into perfect, symmetrical arches. And the other day, I found THE perfect brow gel.
My eyebrows can have a mind of their own, so when I finally get them shaped properly, I use a light touch of Anastasia brow gel, and they’re set (and will stay that way) all day. The gel is so light you can’t feel it; it’s not clumpy, drippy, or flaky—it’s essentially invisible, which is perfect. But if you colour your hair and want your brows to match, Anastasia brow gels now come in tints: blonde, brunette, espresso, granite, and two shades of caramel!
