Long before I cared about my eyebrows I recall hearing about the brow guru that is Anastasia - I've always been a little obsessed with celebrity culture and I'm pretty sure that it was Jennifer Lopez who divulged did her brows. Luckily for us mere mortals who don't quite have the millions that J-Lo has access to there is a complete line of brow products by Anastasia and none I love more than the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Genius Kit.
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Genius Kit is a two step product that not only creates a wonderfully strong brow but once set the brows are waterproof which is perfect if you happen to reside in a wet country like myself. Contained within one nifty and totally travel friendly kit is all you need to fill, shape and emphasise your brows including a duo ended applicator (stiff angled brush and spoolie), waterproof brow gel and a loose brow powder which is available in two shades : brunette and medium brown. I have brunette which is ideal for those with dark hair or for fans of a strong brow, if you have light hair or prefer a more natural effect I advise going for the medium brown option.
Although a little messier than most brow kits due to the loose powder the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Genius Kit gives results which are second to none and can be used in a few ways. You can use the powder in the typical sense and brush on to the brows before setting with the clear waterproof brow gel or you can mix the powder pigment with a little of the brow gel to form a tint and then brush on. Oddly I prefer the latter and find it gives the best natural looking result.
Normally I roll my eyes at waterproof claims as they tend to be more than a little far fetched but I can vouch that the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Genius Kit really does do exactly what it says on the tin - it's waterproof (I'd imagine it would disperse if you were to go swimming or the likes) and sweat proof as a trip to the gym proved for me. If you are a dab hand at filling in your brows this is the kit for you and I'm pretty sure once you use it you'll swear off any other brow product. If you are new to brows I still say give this a go and practise at any given opportunity. Yes the powder is a little more fiddly than a pencil but the results are far more natural not to mention long lasting!

I'm desperate to get my hands on one of these but I'm a little wary that I can't swatch the shades!

For some reason last week i decided to pluck my brows away to literally one hair width. I now look like a cross between an alien and boiled egg. My saviour has been my mac lingering pencil. As soon as i look human again i might check out the anastasia products.x
