{ don't } leave home without it

lots of girls have that one makeup item they simply won't leave home without applying. for many, it's mascara; for others, it's a swipe of red lipstick. personally, i won't even go to the gym without employing a little brow filler. when my eyebrows are on point, i feel like my whole face is in focus ~ even without anything else on. i've tried dozens over the years (powders, pencils, etc.), but on this video shoot, a makeup artist introduced me to stila's stay all day brow pen (i use the medium tint), and i haven't looked at another ever since!

i like that its soft brush tip allows me to make delicate-enough strokes to mimic actual brow hairs, and that it goes on dark enough to give definition, but sheer enough that my eyebrows never look painted-on. my only complaint is that each pen only lasts me a couple weeks ~ but that's why i've been ordering them in bulk, so i never have to go a day without it!!

what's the one product you won't leave home without?

Well your brows are always looking terrific! But now I am going to want to hunt for another product... Oops. I'm a lazy makeup user so lipbalm would be my only consistent product.

I totally agree with you, perfect eye brows are the main point of a fresh look... I rather would give up mascara or foundation, than my eye brow pencils

Daniela said...

I have the same thing, I even wear brow filler when I'm out for a walk or out jogging, since I have so fair eye brows. I always feel like something's missing when I'm not wearing it. (I use a pen and a gel from Lumene, they're good as well.)

I don't leave the house without a brow filler either! It changes your whole face- just look at Audrey Hepburn :)

Eye liner is good if you know how to use it.
And I do not leave the house without mascara.

I use a Shu Uemura pencil for my eyebrows, but I can definitely go without it!

For me it is definitely lipstick that I cannot go without, everything else (including mascara) can be left behind. I own about 68 lipsticks :-S!

Unfortunately I don't think we can buy this product in London... mmm perhaps Sephora

I never leave home without filling in my eyebrows either! It's amazing how huge a difference it makes. I've just been filling them in with a brown shadow, but I'd love to try this product.

ugh, I need this in my life. My brows are so not pretty anymore. I used to get them shaped and dyed, but moved away and haven't trusted anyone here in this new city, to do it for me yet. I will probably have to order this, or maybe run to ULTA and see if they carry it there. Thanks for this! :)

Lisa Griffin said...

hahaha i have never filled in my eyebrows! but i WILL NOT leave without my under eye concealer, those genetic rings are killer!

Same...eyebrows! I love Anastasia tinted brow gel (I used it in espresso for black brows). Holds them in place and fills them and looks oh so natural

Leen. said...

My thing is; mascara, for sure! My parents don't want me to have ' a lot of ' make up on, so I only use mascara but it's perfect(: I don't really feel like wearing tons of make up, cause when I won't wear make up, (my mascara) I feel ugly, just the litle mascara helps! :D <3

lancome clair II waterproof concealer. it's like cement. not. going. anywhere.

Really great suggestion. I too fill in my eyebrows and I consider my brow the anchor to my entire face. If my eyebrows look a mess... my face usually does too. I love the idea of something I can take with me on the go instead of lugging my brow brush, shadow, and makeup mirror with me every where!

a gal after my own heart - I wear it everyday without fail - I even take my brow filler with me camping/canoeing and hide it in my bikini! This one is my favorite so far: http://myshobha.com/myshobha/myshobha_pages/myshobha_products_pages/shobha_browpencils_sand_.html

but now I'm tempted to try the stila...

Excellent!
I've been looking for a good brow filler for quite a while now, although my staple is clearly mascara. i think it works even better together.

to me, it´s got to be the lips! mine dry very easily, so i always have like 2 or 3 different options, glosses balms and lipsticks. but i´m also very obsessive about curling my eyelashes and adding a little mascara.

Brows really are the frame for the face. So no matter how beautiful the picture, without the frame its seems unfinished. Thanks for sharing your fav product!

caribbelle said...

I'm the exact same. I use a filler from sephora though. As long I as my brows look good, and my skin is healthy I'm good.

Katie said...

oo i agree with the importance of well groomed brows! mine are fairly thick (i once over-plucked them, so then i went over to the other side & decided to grow brows like natalia :)
so i just use benefint brow gel to keep them in place.

my go-to product is benetint on my cheeks, it really makes me look like i'm wide awake, especially when i'm still sleepy on a monday morning..
