The #ProductEmpties We Loved to the Last DropFrom new finds to longtime favorites, these are beauty products that our editors use until the bitter end (of the tube) |
The Brow Product That Does Everything in One Step I over-tweezed in the '90s, and my brows just don't grow. (You've probably heard this before -- it's one of my biggest beauty annoyances.) Now, my daily brow routine involves three products -- a pencil, a powder and a gel -- to get my arches to look believably full.
But this multi-step system feels too high maintenance for the weekends (and some weekdays, too, let's be honest), so I've been searching for something that gives me the look I want in just one step. That something is Maybelline New York Brow Precise Fiber Volumizer, $9.99. It's a tinted gel with volumizing fibers, which isn't especially revolutionary -- except that this one seems to have twice as many fibers as similar products. You can actually see them attaching to your brows to fill in holes (of which I have numerous). Instead of a round spoolie, you apply the product with a tiny pointed paddle brush, which allows you to really focus on the holes and any other areas that need the most filling. The tint looks natural, and the hold is seriously strong. (My brows hairs like to migrate out of place during the day, but this gel keeps them where I want them.) It does everything I need to make my brows look thicker and groomed, and it takes seconds to apply. If only it could get them to grow -- but I guess I'll keep trying serums for that. --Dawn Davis
