When it comes to brows, I feel like it’s a constant struggle. I used to have amazingly bold brows and then high school happened in the early aughts where thin was in. I foolishly waxed my brows, now they’re boycotting and refusing to grow back to their glorious pre-2004 era. I’ve tried gels, pots, waxes, pomades and found the whole thing confusing. While I do love me some Dipbrow, it’s easy to veer off into Groucho Marx territory.
When I met with the Hourglass’ Director of Artistry Joel Canales, I practically launched into a word vomit about my brows. Being the kind, gentle soul that he was, he calmed me down and fixed me up. It was almost a religious experience. The brand has extended their best-selling Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil Collection with SIX new shades (for a total of nine total shades for brows). My shade is Dark Brunette, a deep brown with warm undertones that matches my dark hair perfectly.
The Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil formula combines powder, pencil and wax to create the look of naturally fuller, defined brows in one easy step. It has a triangular shape— instead of a sharp pointy tip— that allows you to sculpt with broad strokes (think like a check mark) using the flat edge of the pencil, as well as fill in with fine lines using the tip. The other end of the pencil has a brush to groom brows into place. The brush is actually soft and not scratchy which is my favorite part (aside from having to carry a brow product AND brush). In a nutshell- get this. The brand promises that it won’t budge so no need to worry about smudging your brows on a date like I may or may not have done recently.
The Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil is available now on Hourglasscosmetics.com, Sephora, and more.
