Everyone knows I love a good brow! I have followed the ever changing trends with such dedication that when the no eyebrow look started being adopted a weird part of me fancied trying it.
It seems I am not alone in this thought with sales in eyebrow makeup sky rocketing! Some of this hype is down to a little lady called Cara. According to the american research group NPD the top products come from MAC, Clinique and Benefit. But a new brand born in America and made famous by Cara is Anastasia Beverly Hills and it is taking the market by storm.
I first heard of Anastasia Beverly Hills
when I worked on the beauty desk at Vogue. At the time I was doing some research for a
feature on Cara Delevingne and her famous brows; I wonder if she has them insured?
The woman behind the brand is legendary eye brow guru Anastasia Soare.
Cara swore by the Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow Pomade, a
product that catapulted the brand to cult status. Sadly, back then there was no
way to get the products in the UK and my little feature was scrapped. But now
with the amazing techno behind Cult Beauty and Sephora now shipping to the UK, it
is possible to get your hands on the suff!
I opted for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz *puts tongue back in mouth* in Medium Brown, a pencil with a retractible nib, very similar to the Clinique Brow Pencil which was my go to brow product.
What they say: Sometimes brows need a
little magic. Long wearing pencil feature an ultra fine nib to easily fill in
gaps and mimic brow hair.

After using Brow Wiz |
What I say: The AB Brow Wiz's fine nib means you can individually draw hairs onto the skin, great if you have the time and patients to watch paint dry- I do not. I found that I had to really layer the product to get some depth of colour, but it meant I made less mistakes and the brows looked a lot more natural. I can't imagine the nib would last very long with the amount you have to use, which is a shame seeing as it costs £15.50. But I do love that it comes with a little synthetic brow brush to tame unruly hairs.
Stay Beautiful
