Hello lovelies, happy new year and I hope you are having a good year so far. :-)
I have always been a big fan of eyebrow products, its the one routine in my makeup application I never leave the house without. In fact, come to think of it, more and more girls have become obsessed with achieving perfectly groomed brows, we all agree, a nice set of brows make such a difference to your face from framing the eyes to defining facial features and so on. And the true beautyholic that I am, I am always on the lookout for new products to help me get the 'look'.
As you can imagine, years of experimenting as a teen with tweezers in one hand, and curiosity in the other, the sparse scary looking brows I have today need all the help they can get.
A few weeks ago, I came across Billion Dollar Brows (BDB) on Twitter and it was great to hear about another brand in the market. More and more brands have now started to introduce an eyebrow range in their line. but with so many to choose from, it can be quite overwhelming finding a product that suits you.
Although, I hadn't come across them before, a little digging later, I found that they have become quite big in the US in the past few years. Initially, their product line consisted of just their Brow Boost -an enhancing serum which quickly became so popular, they later followed it with brow pencils, gels and powders.
Having quite sparse brows, one thing I have always struggled with is getting the shape right to suit my face and creating a natural look. Truth be told, I have never favoured eyebrow pencils much purely because I found that powder especially those with a waxy formula gave more of a soft, natural defined look so I was actually quite looking forward to trying their Universal Brow Pencil £17.00* It is a dual ended pencil that comes with the product on one end and a spoolie (and a sturdy one at that) on the other for grooming your brows.
"No More Guessing Games! Formulated to work with all skin tones & hair colors this amazing pencil goes on smooth and natural. Perfect for creating beautiful, natural brows for when you’re on-the-go. The pencil’s versatile color works with almost all hair colors and skin tones."
The Universal Brow Pencil has a really lovely formula and comes in a nice taupe brown that would compliment most skin tones as they say, it certainly flattered my skintone. Even when pressing on hard, it is still manageable to create soft feathery strokes that do not give a harsh effect.
Because I have gotten so used to filling my brows with shorter in length flat angled brushes in powder kits, the size of the pencil was a slight issue for me. I tried to create a defined arched brow yet I found with the larger width of the pencil tip, I couldn't quite manage to create a subtle effect. Otherwise, it is a lovely little pencil and really travel friendly as it wont crack up on you like a powder kit may if damaged.
The lovely people at BDB also sent me their Brow Gel £17.00* to try out.
"Our Brow Gel will lock in your look, giving your eyebrows a long-lasting, radiant glow while keeping them perfectly in place all day. It’s the perfect finishing touch for giving your brows a polished, perfectly manicured look."
Believe it or not, I have never actually owned a brow gel (tut tut)! so I was very excited to try this one. This little baby is great for taming your brows without looking like you have 'gelled' them down. I actually used this just to neaten up my brows before using both The Universal Brow Pencil and my usual eyebrow powder kit and it works wonders, it helps the product go on well, didn't seem to crust or flake and was great if I wanted to retouch during the day. You actually only need to use a little as it goes a long way and is great for taming and keeping stray hairs in place. Thankfully, the gel didn't seem to have an off putting scent either. The packaging gets a big thumbs up from me, I love the clear tube so you can actually see how much product you have used/have left but most of all, I love the fact that the BDB Brow Gel is designed so that when you insert the wand back and forth into the tube, you do not end up with a nasty goop of gel!
BD Brows can now be found at most salons where they use their Brow Buddy tool (which shows you where to start, arch and end your brows with precision and ease) and products for recreating the perfect brows for salon goers. Whether you are a makeup artist, eyebrow fanatic or just someone that takes pride in their brows, either way Billion Dollar Brows (BDB) are definitely without a doubt worth checking out.
