The Lipstick League Question of the Week
On a typical day, how many products do you use on your brows?
G's answer: One or two. I either use a pencil and then follow with a clear brow gel, or I use a pomade which serves to both fill in and tame my brows. If I'm feeling extra fancy, I will also use a brow highlighter pencil for just below and just above my brows to make things look more clean.

Mostly I just use a pencil, like the Maybelline dark blonde or the Milani blonde/dark blonde (whatever it is), to darken my brows a bit and then brush through to soften/blend. I did buy one of those Milani two-step brow kits when it was on sale at Walgreens, with the gel and the powder in one compact, but haven't done much with it yet. It does do a decent job of adding a bit of brow drama, though.
ReplyDeleteI stick with a pencil on a daily basis. I love Sephora Collection waterproof brow pencil in either Nutmeg or Honey Blonde. On a dressed up occasion I highlight above and under the arch.
