My brows

I get a TON of questions regarding my brows. Are they really that color? Do I dye them? What do I use on them? Etc. If you are a reader here than you probably already know the answer. I figured I would do a quick post on how I do my brows for everyone else!

I use Anastasia Beverly Hills Hypercolor in Teal Tornado on my brows. You can use a regular eye shadow to do colored brows if it is super opaque and matte but it may not cover the hair that well. The Hypercolors are made for hair and eyebrows so it really coats the hair instead of just sitting on top of it.

To start I get
Hypercolor in Teal Tornado
Small Angled Brow Brush
Tiny Drop of Water or Damp Tissue

First I get my brush damp, making sure to wipe off any excess water. Then I get a little Hypercolor on the tip of the brush and line the bottom and top of my eyebrow to the arch. Basically making an outline around half of my eyebrow.
Then I fill in from the arch to the end of my eyebrow and lastly I fill in between the outline. Sometimes if the front of my eyebrow looks too straight or harsh I will smudge it a little using my finger or a spoolie.

So it is pretty simple and basic but because so many people as I figure I would share <3

Last month I was happily surprised to find a package in my mail box from Anastasia Beverly Hills. I have tried quite a few of their products and really like them. Especially the teal Hypercolor brow powder and the Noir Covet eyeliner. You can see my previous reviews of Anastasia Beverly Hills products by clicking the links below.

I just lightly ran the mascara wand across my arm for the swatches below.
Because I am have a hair phobia I just have to point out that my arm is NOT
hairy, it is the way the mascara brushed on my skin.

What is it supposed to do? Text taken from the product listing at Anastasia.net  " Vivid tint adds a flash of intense color to your brows and even doubles as a curling mascara for ultra-bright lashes! NTENSE, ultra-bright brow and lash color without dyeing or bleaching. Flake-Proof. Fast-Drying. Film-Forming polymer helps define and hold the brow and curls the lashes."
What does it ACTUALLY do? The colors are very vivid with the exception of Ultra Violet which is a bit dark. I personally did not find the formula to be curling but it the formula gave great coverage over my lashes which are a dark brown with just a couple coats.

Overall thoughts? My overall thoughts are I like this product as a mascara. I personally had a hard time using it on my brows. The mascara spoolie is standard size and quite hard to apply to brows with any precision. I think they should have made the spoolie smaller. I found In The Pink to be more clumpier than the other two colors but easy enough to work with. I personally would have liked to see Ultra Violet be a brighter purple. My favorite is Electric Blue by a landslide. The formula is great and the coverage is superb. I think $22 is a fair price as this is a high end brand but I am sure people on a budget or who are not used to spending a lot on makeup would find this price a bit high. I will purchase Electric Blue when my tube runs out.
