I swear by this stuff.
Okay, so, let me start by saying...although this is embarrassing to admit...I have no eyebrows. That's right...none. When I say I have no eyebrows, I mean it. It's not like when MOST people say they have no eyebrows, when what they really mean is, their eyebrows just aren't very visible. No, that's not me. I DO NOT have eyebrows. No hairs. At ALL. I have a really stupid hair pulling disorder, and in high school I-naturally-pulled them all out. I know, it's just as stupid as it sounds, but I can't help it. Anyway, due to pulling them out for so long, they completely stopped growing back. I'm now 27 years old. I have not touched my eyebrows in over 3 years in hopes to let them grow up, but not even a hair comes through. So, here is what I have to do EVERY SINGLE DAY of my life in order to have eyebrows. I have to first use tea tree oil around my brows because I have super-ridiculously oily skin. Then, I have to use a primer. I then apply cornstarch (another oil fighting tradition). THEN, I draw THE eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil. Then on top of that, I fill it in with an eyebrow powder. This takes a good 30 minutes of my make-up applying time. Needless to say, it's a nightmare. But, it's even more of a nightmare knowing that BECAUSE I have such terribly oily skin, I walk around all day long in fear that my fake "eyebrows" will come melting down my face at the slightest sign of humidity, and God forbid, rain...and that it will expose my eyebrowless face. I decided to give this a try because, quite frankly, I was desperate. I just needed SOMETHING that could keep my eyebrow make-up in place enough to lift SOME of my anxiety about them washing or melting off. I am PLEASED to announce that this product has been a MIRACLE. An absolute friggin' miracle. It does EXACTLY what it says it will do. Typically, after the first 1-2 hours of applying my eyebrows, they ALREADY start looking like they're just WAITING to slide down my face. But, not with this stuff. I'll admit, it certainly won't really hold them ALL DAY LONG....but, I can easily wear it for 8-10 hours without ANY smudging AT ALL. I've even TRIED to make it smudge after 30 minutes to an hour after applying...at that point, since it's still relatively new-on-face, it won't even come off on your finger! It's amazing. So, go for it. It's a great price, and you don't need much so this bottle has already lasted me right at 6 months and I've barely made a dent in it, and it works wonders. You can't go wrong. I won't lie, I've even used it on my eyeshadow a few times and it works great there, too!
