Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow

Let’s talk about brows (for the thousandth time). If you don’t shape or define yours, you should reconsider; when shaped correctly, they frame your face and bring the illusion of symmetry to your features. If you avoid your brows at all costs because you can’t stand brow products, Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow ($20) may just change your mind.

This long-wearing gel glides effortlessly into brows, where it clings to the hair to give you a look as soft or as bold as you choose. It does not go anywhere. If you’ve ever tried a product from MUFE’s Aqua line, you know these are seriously waterproof. You can spend an afternoon in the sweltering summer sun, walk a mile in humid weather, endure the AC breaking on the hottest day, or log a serious sweat session at the gym, and you won’t have to worry about your brows going south. And it dries to a powder, so you get that soft, powdery effect without the drawbacks of actual powder (smearing, fading, sliding, etc.).

You will probably have to pry my Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Brow Color in Light from my cold, dead hands (cause that’s not going a-ny-where once it’s on my brows), but I’m definitely going to give Aqua Brow a try. If you are a fan of brow powders, this could be a nice alternative for you.  Not everyone loves the brow marker (even though I swear it does not look harsh!) — this glides on with a powdery effect, yet has the staying power of a marker.

And it does have one thing on my Stila marker: a little goes a long way. This tube will last you forever — even if you use it every day.
