Anastasia Comparison – Part 2
Earlier this week I compared three brow products from Anastasia Beverly Hills – you can check it out here if you missed it. One of my instagram friends asked to see a brow done with each one, so wish granted! By the way, please pardon the mascara flakes – I took these after an extra-long day at work. Also, Chanel Inimitable Intense flakes like mad, just so ya know.
Powder Duo:
I can actually fake a pretty decent-looking brow with the powder, but unfortunately it just doesn’t last all the way through the day on bare skin. Over hair it does fine though.
Dipbrow:
For filling in hair, I love this stuff. It can be a little tricky to get the bare areas to match my hair without totally overdoing it, though.
Dipbrow + Powder:
Solution: Layer just a tiny bit of the lighter powder color over the Dipbrow, which evens out the color pretty nicely. Since I apply both of these with a brush and then comb through with a spoolie, the edges are fairly soft.
Brow Wiz:
Out of all three, the Brow Wiz disguises the transition between bare skin and hair the best. The fine tip makes a more defined edge, which I like, but it doesn’t look quite as natural unless you comb over the edges pretty carefully. This is the one I reach for the most.
What are your favorite brow things?

Good review, like that you had comparison pics!
