Review | Beverly Hills Brows

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz (around £15) - Cult Beauty | Net-a-porter

It's safe to say that the whole brows topic has become more popular and we are spending a lot more time grooming taming them; steering well away from any sign of over-plucking. I was quite happily using a powder and brush duo, until my eyes set sight on the Anastasia Brow Wiz and a little purchase was made. I know the thought of doing your eyebrows with a pencil springs the words 'waxy' or 'bold' to your mind, but this one is not like the rest of the bunch.

Out of the four shades available I chose Medium Ash, my hair is a fairly dark brown and this colour is a perfect match. There is no red-tones in sight, neither is it so dark that you look like you've coloured your eyebrows in (neither is it ashy as the name may suggest). The tip is ultra-fine so you can create a natural, hair like effect; all you need to do is twist up the nib and more crayon appears... keep those fiddly sharpeners where they are! On the other end is a handy little brow tamer so you can tidy those brows up. All you need to keep your brows beautifully shaped in one. 

I've been using this for a few weeks now and my brows have stayed in place all day, with no colour rub-off. I cannot praise this enough, will I ever go back to powder? Plus the sleek black and gold packaging makes it a delight to have in my make-up bag! 

Let me know if you've tried this as well or any bad brow pencils to stay clear of. Do you have any favourite brow techniques?
