I have been using a budget brow kit for about a year now from Collection and whilst it has been a good starting point for brow shape training, I have been after something a bit more refined for a while and after a shopping trip to Leeds I found a great replacement product from Laura Mercier.
Brows are big business and in the last few years it's been all about making them look shaped, defined and tamed. I have mine waxed and tinted every few months and I'm trying to grow them a bit thicker following the post over plucking days! There are starting to get a tad sparse in areas *cries inside* so I've been looking for an brow upgrade product and here's what I bought.
I popped into SpaceNk and a lady in there showed me the Laura Mercier Brow Definier .She used it herself and applied it to my brows so I could see how it looks and I was immediately impressed.
The Collection palette is a powder brow kit and the main downside I found with this type of brow kit is that you tend to be able to see the powder on your skin underneath the fine brow hairs which I really don't like. I've had the same issue with brow pencils too so these for me are a no go.
The brow definer is a wax gel formulation which attaches to the brow hairs to build colour and definition without having the skin stained look. It clings to each brow hair and holds them in place without that crusty feeling which is brilliant! I picked up the shade warm which is the darkest of the three on offer and it was the sales assistant chose for me so I'm afraid I didn't actually see the two other shades to be able to tell you about them! However I think the warm it a great shade for me, I have fairly dark brow hairs anyway and I think this colour matches well.
I've been using this little brow pot for about two weeks and I have to say I really love using it. I apply it with a Real Techniques slanted brow brush from the core collection set and I use light upward strokes following my brow shape and applying more where the sparser areas are. I have taken some before and after pictures to give you an idea of how the products looks. I'm not into strong brows, I just wanted a defined but still natural look. I've taken some before and after photographs to give you an idea of the look you can achieve with this product, obviously if you want a stronger look you can keep building the colour.
I'm really impressed with this product and I can already tell it's going to be one of those products I'll be repurchasing.
What are your best brow products? Have you tried this one?
