Tarte One Brow Architect Brow Shaper

Brow Architect Shaper, Liner, and Definer is a new product introduced in the Journey to Natural Beauty kit.   It's a unique 3 in 1 brow perfector that comes with a universal brow pencil, an underscoring concealer (comes in 3 shades depending on your foundation choice), and a spoolie brow brush.

Brow Pencil

You are supposed to the use the Brow Architect in the follows steps:

• First use the underscoring concealer powder to hide strays and clean up the surrounding brow area.
• Next, fill and define with the universal pencil ( the more pressure you apply the more color you can achieve)
• Finally, comb the brows to stay in place.

Underscoring Concealer

Typically I use Omega eyeshadow from MAC with an angled brush to fill in my brows for a more natural look.  I haven’t really been a fan of too many eyebrow pencils because I find that most are hard to use and don’t fill the brows in very naturally. That is not the case for this product. The slanted brow pencil allows for easy application and coverage so to speak.  The underscoring concealer is an interesting product and I am not sure that I have gotten use to using it. It applies a little heavily under my brows when I use it straight on the applicator so I use another brush or my finger to blend it out.  It’s a neat concept but I am not sure I am sold on it. Overall, I really like the brow pencil and brow brush and will be using this product more often.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Eye Lights Shimmer Highlighter

 I love Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder, so when I had the opportunity to try another product, Eye Lights highlighter ($21), I was excited to see if I would like it. This product is a favorite amongst professional make-up artists. It promises to add a soft, satiny glow to eyes, lips or cheeks. I got the color Sand, which is a light neutral beige. The creamy texture applies soft and smooth and is very easy to blend.

You can use it many different ways. You can apply directly beneath the eyebrow and along the brow bone, blending with your finger to give your eyebrows a lift. You can also use as a liner under the eye and inside the water line to brighten. Also it can be used to highlight your cheekbones and brighten up your lipstick. I mainly use on the eyes to highlight my brows and I really like the consistency. It’s easy to apply and lasts all day. I haven’t tried this on my cheeks yet since I am not a big cheek highlighter person, but I will give it a try. From the way it stays on my brows, I am sure it will last on cheeks. Great product and I would definitely check the full line of Anastasia products at Sephora, Ulta or Anastasia.net.
