This Really Works: Drugstore Brow Perfector

The world has been “Delevingne-d,” with everyone looking to model-of-the-moment Cara Delevingne and her magical eyebrows as the standard of beauty. Mine are a bit thin—and my eyebrow inferiority complex went into overdrive backstage at New York Fashion Week when a Maybelline makeup artist handed me their new brow-grooming tool: Maybelline Eye Studio Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara (it hits stores next month.)

While a regular pencil or brush fills in your brows, this tool promises to fill in, groom, and hold them in place. One swipe made me a believer: the tinted gel-soaked brush is like instant organization for your face, defining the arches that define your face. The formula comes in blonde, soft brown, and deep brown so most hair colors are covered, and it’s easy to layer and manipulate so that you can go from softly filled in to statement brows in a few seconds. If you’ve had trouble getting the hang of a brow kit or palette, this is the answer to your prayers from something simpler.
