I've been experimenting with new and old brow products in my drawer the past couple weeks. So far these three babies have been my favorite combination. It's fast, easy, and I love the results. The color is perfect and lasts all day.

I start with my Illamasqua brow cake in Motto. The color is described as a warm taupe on their website. It's an accurate description but sometimes when I look at it, it feels slightly cool toned. What I like about these brow cakes is that they aren't super powdery. The powder doesn't poof all over your face. You can also mix this powder with water for a more precise line. I have yet to try that but the dry finish works great. I like to use it with my Anastasia brush spooly.

My second and final step would be to set my brows with Benefit's Gimme Brow in the dark shade. This is a great product when you are in a rush because it adheres to the brows really nice and can be built up. It also dries fast which is great because I don't like the feeling of wet brows.

Being a redhead now, I had to find some new brow products to make my brows have a reddish tint. Dying them just kind of freaks me out so I'm all about the makeup products. Here are two I found and really like...

GOSH Cosmetics - Venetian Brown

I like this and the vibrancy it gives but it is harder to work with than a powder. I am not used to using a marker so it can be kind of weird for me. I think it is something I have to play with and get used to. I do like the color a lot though. This has great orange tones for a copper redhead. I think I might even try using this and the powder listed below and see how they look.



Vanity Mark Brow Powder - Gingerella

This is amazing. I wanted something that would give me the tones of my hair but wasn't flaming eyebrows. lol This is so natural looking but still has oomph. I love the texture. It's very easy to work with and can be used wet or dry. I have only used it dry so far. The pigmentation is fabulous, you don't need a lot to make an impact. And it stays, all day, no issues with smudging or anything! I heard about this from model Doris Mayday on her Instagram and couldn't be happier.

It can also be found on www.pinupgirlclothing.com. Big shout out to Brett Freedman for creating this gem!

using Vanity Mark Brow Powder in Gingerella

It comes in two colors, light/medium and medium/deep. I have been using the medium/deep since my hair is dark right now. I find that it accentuates my brows and dries to a quick (not crunchy) finish. I have never used a tinted brow gel before, this is a new thing for me and so far I have to say it's awesome! The application brush is small so it makes filling in your brows easy and mess free.

This is what Sephora has to say about it:

What it is: 
A brow-volumizing fiber gel. 

What it does: 
This innovative brush-on fiber gel adheres to skin and hair creating brows where before there were none. It builds easily for thick, lush arches, thanks to a tapered brush for blending and a precision tip for shaping. The fiber gel is water resistant, long lasting, and buildable for natural-looking brows.
