A closer look at the new brow products from Prestige

I went so crazy for the new 2011 lipstick and lipgloss releases from Prestige that I almost forgot to share with you their new 2011 brow collections! There are some great products here for both brow experts as well as the brow-challenged (um, that would be me).

 Prestige Ideal Match Marbleized Brow Pencil in Light/Medium

(also available in Medium/Deep)

(retail: $5.50)

I had been wanting to try one of these marbleized brow pencils from Prestige ever since I first saw the display at Rite Aid, so I was very grateful when Prestige sent me this one for review. Note: the pencil actually comes with more of a fine point, but I snapped the above pics after I had already used it a few times.

I love that this pencil comes with a spoolie, and I find the marbleized colors to really help give added dimension to the color of my brows. As we all know, the hairs on our bodies are not one uniform color (naturally, that is) so it's nice to get a blend of shades when you use this pencil. I do want to point out that the texture of this product is a little bit softer than what I'm used to (I tend to prefer a firm pencil for my brows because I find they work well with my oily skin), so oily skinned gals might want to take extra precautions and not use a lot of moisturizer (or rich foundation) around the brow area prior to using this product, just to ensure better staying power.

 Prestige Brow Perfection Brow Building System in Light/Medium

(also available in Medium/Deep)

(retail: $7.50)

I have to admit, I don't usually go for tinted brow gels. But that's only because I prefer using a pencil due to how sparse my eyebrows are--a tinted gel doesn't give me the definition I need. But as a finishing touch, this product really gave my brows some extra bulk (see the fibers above). I also love that it comes with the clear gel as well.

 Prestige Revitalizing Clear Brow Gel

(retail: $6.50)

This one's my favorite of all the new Prestige brow products. I LOVE clear gels to help keep my brow hairs in place, and I think one's got a fantastic formula. For me, it doesn't flake, it doesn't leave a white glue-like texture behind, and it keeps my hairs in place all day. What more can you ask for in a clear brow gel?

Prestige Brow Perfection Brow Shaping Studio in Light/Medium

(also available in Medium/Deep)

(retail: $8.95)

Last but not least, we have the new brow powder duo with accompanying brush, tweezers and brow stencil. This little compact contains everything a powder-loving gal needs to keep her brows in check! The powder's got a nice, firm texture to it, but don't let that scare you--it's very pigmented and you only need a bit to fill in your brows. I also was very pleasantly surprised by how well the tweezers worked! I was able to groom my brows with ease with them (even the tiny hairs), which is definitely an added bonus.

I hope this closer look at the new Prestige brow products helps you to better determine whether or not any of these products might be a good fit for you.

You can find Prestige products at Rite Aid and Ulta, and also online at both the Prestige website and the Ulta website.
