Brow Tamer: Sephora Lash & Eyebrow Mascara

As a woman of Italian descent, I’m blessed with brows that go on for days. They’re naturally thick and each individual hair is quite long. It’s among the beauty banes of my existence.

While I have my brows tweezed regularly (love the precision of tweezing!), I still need a little something to add control and polish to my everyday look, so recently, I began shopping around for a clear brow gel.

I started in the aisles of the drugstore and found nada (Revlon, Cover Girl, Almay, are you listening?). Then I went to beauty Mecca – Sephora. After cruising the aisles for a few minutes aimlessly, an employee recommended that I try Sephora’s own clear Lash & Eyebrow Mascara.

This cheap thrill (it’s just $8, less expensive than many drugstore mascaras these days) delivers hold without the crunch and adds a little bit of gloss to my brows. It’s the perfect finishing touch!

I’m in the process of packing for my big move on July 1. After living in the same apartment for over 7 years (an eternity for a renter in NYC), I’ve accumulated what can only be called QUITE a makeup stash. So, in the effort to lighten my load, I’ve been sorting through my beauty goodies gradually – donating products to charity (battered women’s shelters love getting unused products), gifting them to friends and of course, tossing the stuff that just won’t work. Along the way, I’ve discovered some long lost gems. Among them? Prescriptives Groom Stick for Brows ($18.50).

This handy, dandy SUPERSLIM pencil is a dual ended threat, housing a spoolie brush to keep brows tidy (I like to coat it with a teeny tiny bit of Aquaphor for some gloss and hold) and a non-smudgy, easy-gliding brow pencil on the other side.

The best way to use the brow pencil is to use short, feathery strokes on any area of your brows that might need a little filling it. The Groom Stick delivers a nice, natural looking finish as long as you can find a match in the four colors available. It’s also waterproof and virtually sweat proof (important as July approaches!)
