The Lipstick League – week of 10.17.16
Question of the Week: On a typical day, how many products do you use on your brows?
My brow routine is usually about the same. I begin by using either the Chella Eyebrow Pencil or the Chella Eyebrow Cream (both in Tantalizing Taupe) to fill in my brows and give them a little extra oomf. The Eyebrow Cream is brand new (it’s light as air – you don’t feel like you have anything on!) and the Eyebrow Pencil was just reformulated (they added a spoolie and revamped some of the shades), and I’m absolutely loving both of them! Lastly, I use the Chella Eyebrow Defining Gel to lock my brows into place. My brow hairs can get a bit long and unruly, so this stuff is an absolute must for me.
If I’m going full glam, I will actually double up and use both the Eyebrow Cream and the Eyebrow Pencil to really add drama. Then I will finish by highlighting with the Chella Highlighter Pencil in Ivory Lace. I love this highlighter because it’s so versatile. You can use it to not only highlight your brows, but also your Cupid’s bow, lower waterline, or inner eye corners!
