In the second installment of my What About Brows series this post is all about shopping and selecting the best brow products and tools for your busy/expensive or inexpensive/crazy lifestyle. Before we can dive in to topics like, how to shape your brows at home, waxing versus threading, etc. etc., I thought it would be best to break down the best pencils, powders, gels, and tools. I rounded up the best brow products for every personality, every hairy situation, every budget, etc. Just call me the Goldilocks of brow worthy products. ; )
I fondly remember spending my tween years obsessing over hair streaks and spending all my allowance money at Claire’s on those faux colored clip-ins. Flash forward a decade or so later and neon hair streaks have never been bigger (and in my opinion, far more chic), thanks to some hair-spiration at the Oscar de la Renta spring/summer runway show.
You can get the look sans a trip to the hair salon, thanks to Anastasia Beverly Hills Hypercolor Brow and Hair Powder collection. These temporary 3-in-1 pigments (these can also be used as liner or eyeshadow) can easily be applied on the ends of your locks or brows, by sandwiching your strands between your fingers and the powder, or by using a brush. Combining silicone and pigment-rich oxides, these powders offer intense color, not to mention a soft application that glides on hair smoothly.
I was pleasantly surprised when I tested “In the Pink” shade on my tresses because the application was smooth and the color was eye-catching, but not overwhelming. I felt like my inner rebel was coming out. And as soon as I was ready to ditch the neon pink, a quick wash was all it took (no chalky residue!).
Priced at just $12.50 each and available in Electric Blue, Teal Tornado, Megawatt Green, Ultra Violet, and In the Pink, you’ll want to scoop up the entire collection and rotate each hue on a weekend basis.

It’s rare for me to step outside of the box when it comes to various eye looks. My trusted day-to-night smokey eye look is a timeless staple, not to mention a quick and easy application. But when I received a sample of Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Bold & Beautiful Kit, I kind of fell in love with it’s mini encyclopedia book of eye and brow looks that you couldn’t classify as anything else but glamorous. It’s also really convenient to pop this in your purse if you don’t have the time in the morning to primp before a long day at work.
The makeup kit itself includes two palettes: volume one is dedicated to creating bold brows using two ultra fine brow powders for definition, a mini duo brush and mini tweezers (my favorite tool!) for any last minute grooming; volume two is your go-to for creating timeless eye looks using matte and shimmering shadows (which are infused with Anastasia’s Youthful Synergy Complex to help smooth, firm and hydrate skin) in versatile neutrals and one peachy pink shade and a mini duo brush for layering (wet or dry).
To celebrate this new kit, I’m giving away one Bold & Beautiful Kit ($36) to one of my lucky readers! Check the widget below for deets on how to earn extra entries. Good luck! a Rafflecopter giveaway
