materialisticneeds asked: Hi! Love your blog! I want to ask know how do i prevent my eyebrows from fading and becoming patchy? I use the elf studio eyebrow gel & powder duo but at the end of the day I always find my brows faded & patchy. Will a brow gel help? Or is there other ways? Thanks!

Thanks babe!

A brow gel will help a bit but not drastically, a tinted brow gel would be best because even if your brow powder fades your brow gel will still be there. You can also try using eyeshadow primer all over your brows then going in with brow powder so your brow powder has something to stick to. You can even try using a little bit of brow pencil under to act like a glue for the brow powder :)

However I’d recommend using a waterproof brow product! These tend to be a lot longer lasting and don’t fade at all. Great for the warmer weather coming up lasting through sweat, swimming, etc!

Anastasia Brow Pomade $18. This is extremely long lasting! My only complaint is that it can look a bit over done if you apply too much, it’ll take a few tries before leaning how to work with it. I like to wipe some off on the inside of the lid so very little is on my brush then apply! Dries to more of a powder finish which I looove. Will give you fierce, makeup artist looking brows!

Makeup Forever Aqua Brow $20. This has the same concept of the Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade but it a little more of a gel and feels more light weight than the Dip Brow. This tends to look more natural and the color isnt as intense/pigmented right off the bat. Also has excellent staying power!
