ANASTASIA'S - CLEAR BROW GEL

I dye my brows using Just for Men facial hair dye so I don't bother filling them in with pencil or brow powder                   I do have to keep them well-shaped though

I have very thick eyebrows but i'm too lazy and too short-shighted to shape them myself.All I do everyday is put transparent mascara on after make up to control the crazy ends. Maybe I must try the gel formula.

I'm a plucker and I hate my eyebrows. I have bought the Revlon Brow Fantasy gel/pencil and I have to say it's not that great. The pencil makes you feel like you are coloring with a crayon and the gel is just funky. It's colored and sticky. It's like having really stiff hairspray on your eyebrows. Some of you may have used it and liked it, but if you haven't I wouldn't waste the 6/7 dollars for it. I'm interested in this brow gel, is it sticky?

I have very fair skin and dark, sparse brows. So I have to fill them in or my face just looks unfinished. I usually just pluck them but once in a while I get them waxed, which I love having done because of the nice clean look afterwards, but growing them out in between drives me a bit nuts. I've tried a couple of brow gels but it always bugged me how they looked kind of oddly shiny when I had it on. Something tells me that Anastasia wouldn't let that happen, though! :)

I'm obsessed with my eye-brows. I get them waxed, but threading is the best solution. I love brow gels but I prefer them tinted, because I like to have a strong brow. I learned the importance of good brows from my Grandmother, who had the most ridiculously perfect brows I've ever seen on anyone. There is a picture of her at 10 months, and you can see a clear arch - on a baby??? Regrettably I didn't inherit them, but I do the best I can with what I have.

i had a sample of this, and i can attest- it lasts all day, dries clear, and it is a fabulous product to have for brows

I have nearly invisible eyebrows - sparse and very light in color.  They were blondish, but now grayish.  So I have to dress them up every day.  I use Anastasia's brow express.  It has 2 colors of eyebrow color - one darker, one light, I mix them together.  And it comes with brow wax and a brush.  It works beautifully and stays on.  My only issue with it is that it's large, so I never take it with me when i travel.  Instead, I carry an old Laura Mercier eyebrow powder compact... no wax, but for a short trip, I make do.  I think the Laura stuff has long exceeded its natural expiration - but it doesn't smell and it works fine.  I can't throw it away.  

I'm also lucky enough to have low-maintenance brows. It's the only part of me that's low-maintenance! I do absolutely nothing with them, and even when I do, they still look the same.

I've been getting my brows threaded lately, which I really like.  I just moved, though, and can't find a place around here that does it :(  I normally pluck a few stray hairs in between sessions if I see them and that's about it.  My brows are very blonde, though, and look strange with my darker hair, so I fill them in with pencil or powder pretty much every day.  I tried having them tinted once but it didn't last very long.  Maybe I'll try King Taco's suggestion of Just for Men :)

I do all three. Mostly plucking and waxing, but I have tried threading and apparently its better for your eyebrows and the skin around your eyes. It hruts a alot more but its worth it IMO.Ive used clear mascara to hold my brows in place when I was younger, now I just leave them alone.

Alright ladies, so here's the deal...when I can afford to, I get my brows waxed. Nothing says 'clean' like getting your brows shaped and waxed by a professional. When a lovely brow wax isn't in the cards financially, armed with my supersonic magnification mirror – three spot lights and a tweezer, I do the best I can myself. As to the the rest of my brow care, I operate outside the respected lines of behavior and have my own little tricks that I do. The gel type brow product I have used in the past is Maybelline Define-A-Brow Gel Clear Mascara for Eyebrows! I found it quite a while ago at Target and I see that Drugstore.com still carries it. The cost is about $4.99. It's a clear gel so no matter what color your brows are you can use this. It does an fairly good job in gathering your brow hairs into one nice looking more professional brow. You can use it over your brow pencil if you use it. The gel does wear off by the end of the day but if you wet your brows a little it kind of reactivates the gel qualities and you can just smooth them back into place again. (Carry a little clean mascara brush with you in your purse for reshaping.)
I try using brow color pencils but I hate all of them because they all look to me like somebody drew eyebrows on me. I know that if a PROFESSIONAL uses a brow pencil on me my brows do look far more pronounced. I have no talent in applying pencil/powder to my brows; I end up washing it off just about every time. So here's the part of my brow story that will make some of you cringe because I'm sure it's not anything ANYONE would recommend doing but it works for me.
See the thing is...for years I have watched and observed professionals who have either dyed and foiled my hair as well as beauticians who have dyed my brows. So...as old as I am, I have watched A LOT of how they do things so ladies...you have to know I have done a lot of self trial and error routines here in the privacy of my basement lab attempting to duplicate the processes I have been watching!!!!
So here is my secret that I figured out on my own that I would never recommend to anyone but that works for me!!! We are sharing brow information here right?? I figured this little trick out on my own both in correcting little hair mistakes and in a way to color my eye brows. I like to have my brows colored because I HATE the color they are – and they don't ever look complimentary to the colors I like to have in my hair – my brows are an icky dull grayish black. ICK! It involves extra $$$$'s to have your brows professionally dyed so I DON'T. In the past I would buy an entire package of over the counter hair color and MIX the entire contents of the the hair color and then take a teeny tiny amount and put it in a small glass/Pyrex bowl. Then I would take a clean over the counter mascara type brush that they sell at the store and I carefully dip it into the hair color mixture and while looking into my LARGE MAGNIFICATION mirror I slowly and meticulously use the applicator to apply the color to my brows. I leave it on for 10-20 minutes and watch it carefully. I thoroughly wash my brows to make sure I get all the extra color out and my brows look great. Now here's the thing...it is absolutely NOT recommended that you do this because IF you get even a drop of this colorant in your eyes...well you just DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN because it could really damage your eyes!!! That is why I go S L O W and carefully. You never want to glob it on! If you are using a dark color it will stain your skin so I put Vaseline all around my brows. I figured this out because when I first met my Harley man I would dye his goatee red and he had me try it on his brows too and it worked! We don't do that to him anymore thought...wayyyyyyy too much work! So..as much as an advertisement would say DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME...I do and I am happy when I do!
Last thing...I figured out that I can dye my brows without mixing the entire content of the hair coloring kit by just doing the “24 hour in advance” skin test that all color kits recommend in the instruction sheet. So I open the two products that you normally mix together, and I put equal parts of both products in my little Pyrex glass bowl (approximately one teaspoon of each) and I mix it with a plastic spoon and there I have my little brow coloring concoction! Whatever the hair product says is the ratio to use for the skin test, that's the amount I use on my brows! It is NOT easy and it probably would be a good idea to wear swim goggles IF you do this just to make sure it doesn't get into your eyes! There you go...my absolutely appalling, way too long, brow story!  AGAIN, I would never recommend this to anyone but I'm usually really happy with my results!  I have asked beauticians who do my hair why they don't just dye my brows too and they ALL say that they CAN'T because of the risk to your eyes!
 
 
 
 

I use Anastasia's brow gel and pencil duo. It's the first time I've used an Anastasia product and the woman sure knows her brows! I find it so easy to use the pencil to lightly fill in my brows and then set with the clear gel. Once it's set it doesn't budge! My brows can get unruly and I simply pluck and groom them with my trusty ecotools brow grooming kit!

AAwww... The eye brow gel!

I use the elf $1 brow gel and that's all.  It keeps my eyebrows in place for the day, and I don't do anything else besides pluck some unibrow hairs.

I am a compulsive waxer.  I get it done at ULTA about every three weeks or so.  They take more hair off every three weeks than many people have.  DEAR GOD, if it were not for waxing I very well may be a uni brow girl.I thought about laser hair removal.  Do you know you have to have them grow out and then have the laser?  No --thanks! Plus, there are many treatments involved.  It is not a one shot deal.

I wish I could find a perfect eyebrow shape & color. My eyebrows are naturally gray and I sometimes fill them in with Anastasia brow powder. Not the best, but there are some sparse spots and some thick spots... I tried their eyebrow gel too, but I just prefer a spoolie. :)

i like plucking just because its easier to do at home and cheaper and u dont have to schedule it.lol

I have always plucked my brows, fast forward to present day and WHOA...I have very little eyebrows left!  Years of over plucking have just about left me bald in the eye brow department.  every morning I pencil them in, one morning I forgot, I got to work and I glanced in the mirror and I almost screamed!! I don't carry eyebrow pencils in my mini make-up case for my purse but I did have a brown-ish lip liner and it had to do...Now I carry an eyebrow pencil along with all my other make-up fixer-uppers. I have been using rogaine for women on my eyebrows for about 6 months and I can say YES I am deffinatly seeing a differance.  My eyebrows are slowly filling in.

When I was a kid I used to make fun of my younger sister because she had ridiculously long and voluminous eyelashes. And she used to make fun of me for having boobs (I had to start wearing bras in the 2nd grade, by 3rd I was a 34B--not easy for a kid!). Well... needless to say that once we grew up we realized that maybe having those features weren't so bad! She eventually caught up with me boob-wise, but I was never able to copy her gorgeous eye fringe. Apparently, the "long and luscious" gene skipped my eyelashes and went to my eyebrows. I have the coarsest, most erratic brows ever. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but when I look into that magnifying mirror I swear I'm growing a forest on my forehead. Not only do I have ashy blonde-brown brows, but I have numerous little white hairs too. I have to pluck almost every day to get the darker hairs, and try to wax bimonthly. I also have to TRIM the length of the hairs because otherwise they stick up all crazy. AND I have to use a gel. I've tried several prestige makeup eyebrow gels, and I can honestly say that they do not work any better than good ol' drugstore brand clear mascaras. They all keep the crazy hairs in place all day, don't flake, set brow color, and eventually get gunky from the brow fillers/foundation and have to be replaced. So my advice is to go as cheap as you can. Hope this helps someone! 

I'm completely obsessed with my eyebrows, since they're so horrible. I pluck the second I see a hair out of place and I've tried threading, but it didn't go to well... Right now I'm using the clear mascara from The Body Shop, but I don't like it, so I guess I'll try the brow gel from Anastasia next. 

I love this stuff! I have Clear and Blonde! I'm a plucker but I would really like to learn how to thread

I pluck 'em.

I get my brows done at the Anatasia Brow studio and use their products for my brows, I love the brow gel.  My brows get curly and unruly like my hair an the brow gel holds them in place.I pluck in between going to get them done.
