Stila stay all day waterproof brow color

I actually got this product because my mom tried it and didn't care for it, so she handed it off to me. Thanks mom! Here's what it claims to do via Sephora's website:

 "Create natural looking and defined brows with this innovative waterproof brow color. A precision felt tip pen applicator ensures easy application and the unique formula glides on with ease. It won't smudge or run and stays in place until you say when!"

I definitely think it does what the description says. The results are very natural looking when using the brow color alone, although I much prefer to use it after I fill in my eyebrows with a powder. It's perfect for cleaning up the edges of my brows and makes them look super crisp and polished. 

Since I like nicely filled and defined eyebrows I don't typically use this product on its own, but if I'm in a rush I'll quickly run it through my brows so they don't look so sparse. I've been using this brow color for a while now and I haven't experienced any smudging or smearing. It's not 100% waterproof, but it doesn't slide off easily like a powder would. There are a total of 3 shades to choose from, ranging from light to dark. The one I have is in medium, although I think dark would suit me better.

Overall, I think this is great if you're going for a natural look, or if you're like me and want to use it as a finishing step to your normal brow routine. 

What's your favorite method to filling in your brows- powder, pencil, or something like Stila's stay all day brow color?

How to get full, natural looking eyebrows in just four steps

Happy New Year!!!!

I hope you all had an amazing New Years Eve!
To start off the new year, I thought I'd show you how I get beautifully filled in brows in just four steps!

What you'll need:

-A small, angled brush. I got mine from the drugstore!

-A matte eyeshadow slightly lighter than your natural brow color. I use the matte dark brown shade called Caravaggio (furthest to the right) from Kat Von D's Saint palette. 

Before:

Step One:

Pick up some product on your brush and begin in the center of your brow. That way if there's too much eye shadow on your brush, it's not going to look super dark and unnatural like it might if you started near the front. Start brushing it in in the direction of your hair. This also ensures a more natural look. Remember, use a light hand! Especially if you're new to filling in your brows.

Step Two:

Without picking up more product, brush the front part of the brow in short, upwards strokes (once again, following the direction of hair growth). If it's not dark enough for your liking, feel free to add more shadow and repeat. It's easier to add more than to take away.

Step Three:

If you're like me and don't have much of a natural arch, go ahead and add one! Follow the shape of your brow, but just exaggerate it a tad on the top.

Step Four:

Fill in the tail of your brows & you're done!

After:

Go rock your natural looking, full eyebrows!
