Look Ma! I stenciled my brows!


Ha! Just kidding!





I used this Anastasia Beverly Hills All About Brows Kit!

This set contains:
-Brow Gel
- Tweezers
-Eye Lights highlighting pencil
-Duo Angle Brush/Spooley
-Four Brow Stencils
-Brow Powder Duo
(All housed in a cute case with pockets and holders!)


I used everything in the set minus the brow gel for the pics above.


Tweezers-The tweezers are excellent. Not too sharp that I'm poking, scraping or pinching myself, but grabs every hair!


The highlighting pencil- adds a nice pinkish nude tint for my brow highlight, as well as helping to further sculpt my brow.


The duo angle spooley- is God send. I always forget a spooley or brow brush and having this on the other end of the angle brush... lifesaver! The angled brush is no MAC #266 (my HG brow brush) but it work and works well spreading the brow powder and filling the stencil... and it has the lovely spooley on the other end of course! The small and compact size makes this a winner.


Brow stencils-Out of the four brow stencils provided, I used the petite arch. By description, it's not ideal for my brow, but blindly matching the stencils to my brows, that one fit. I tweaked the shape after (not by much, softening the front and adding a bit, defined the tail). I wasn't expecting the stencil to do all of the work, but it certainly cut down on a lot of guess work. I was super pleased with my results. The stencils also have guides on them to help you place the stencil properly.


Brow Powder Duo- The Ebony dark neutral brow powder was quite dark for my taste, so I added some of my Kid eyeshadow to my brows.


Overall- This is a 5 star kit! If I was to add anything, which I will, it would be a small pair of hair scissors to keep my brows trimmed and not hanging over too far as they grow. Also, I reached for my #242 brush to help me blend out the creamy highlighting pencil. Would a duo sided angle/concealer brush be a great addition?? This kit comes in 4 shades to suit different hair tones. The All About Brow Kit retails for $75. It's a splurge item, but if you HAVE to do your brows every day like me, it's a great deal for a convenient way to carry your brow essentials. Need something a bit more recessionista friendly? Try the Brow Express Kit.
