Is it just me, or did eyebrows suddenly become the big beauty thing? It used to be that you'd use your favorite brown or taupe shadow to fill in thin or light hairs and add structure to your face. Now, kits are available in all sizes and prices. Some include tweezers, brushes, stay-proof waxes and multi-color shadows, while others have fewer bells and whistles but still get the job done. Below are my personal favorite eyebrow kits; what are yours?
- Anastasia Brow Ex-press in Brunette ($38) is one of my favorites. Her tweezers are amazingly precise and I really like being able to blend all of these colors without having to spend a fortune.
- Le Sourcil de Chanel ($46.60) has a thick, waxy texture that blends surprisingly well, and leave it Chanel to choose just the right combo of colors to suit just about any brow color.
- Too Faced Brow Envy Brow Shaping & Defining Kit ($35) has an unbelievable price for all it includes. Inside of the pink polka-dot box comes two powder shades, molding wax, stencil, mini-tweezers, mirror, brown pencil with a blending tip and an angled brush.
- Ramy Beauty Therapy Miracle Brow ($28) is near and dear to my heart because it's the first brow kit I ever used. The creamy gel texture blends like silk and leaves your brows not only darker but also well groomed — this is a winner!
- DuWop Browwow in Darker ($34) is small, but it does the trick every time. Inside of the pink compact lies a colored powder, a shimmery highlighter and a tinted gloss to use when you're finished and a double sided brush for precise application and flawless blending.

The Chanel Perfect Brows is definitely my all time fave.
I've been using if for a few years now and it works great. The tweezers that it comes with are easily the best I've ever used... they'll grab any hair no matter how small.
Just yesterday I placed an order with Smashbox, and I picked up their Browtech in Taupe. I've heard good things about it, so I thought I'd give it a try.
1Cool, I'll have to check these out. My brows go haywire if I leave them alone for as little as 2 weeks.
2Love the Smashbox. I have naturally light blonde brows and they aren't super full so the waxy ones just make a smudgie mess. The Smashbox is super soft and powdery, instead of hard like so many, and works great on me. The only pencil that works for me is the Lancome powder pencil because it is super smooth and the color doesn't grab.
3I use the Smashbox Browtech and really like it, but the Benefit eyebrow kit is a really solid choice. I just find the colour for blondes a little too warm for my me.
4I find that benefit, brow zings in medium are the best for me...they have a bit of waxiness to it which helps hold the shape
5Ack typos again. I shouldn't post while groggy.
Ah, vacations.
Oh, and eyebrows have always been super important to me. I just do not hardly pluck them anymore.
6I'm partial to the LORAC Take a Brow set. It has two colors, a wax, and a small brush AND it's very compact. I can throw it into my makeup bag and go. The other sets, while they look great tend to be too much packaging for just your brows.
7I like the Urban Decay brow box, but I'm not so keen on the wax.... I felt like my eyebrows are unruly enough...
8Smashbox Brow-tech is awesome.
9Brow Zings, cannot live without it, especially since my brows are naturally too short.
10BE brow kit for me. And I agree brows are big beauty - you look silly when they are not done properly.
11I've been using the Urban Decay Brow Box for several months, and before that I was using a brown shadow, but I don't recall doing anything to my brows more than maybe 2 years ago... it does seem to be something of a recent phenomenon.
12I've never seen anything like this for eyebrows! I'm confused what all that stuff does (besides the tweezers obviously). I mean it looks like eyeshadow and lip gloss in those kits but that's obviously not what it is...is it the equivalent of an eyebrow pencil?
13If I was going to purchase one of these, I'd probably go with the Anastasia one...
14I have been wanting the Anastascia Brow Ex-press for awhile now, I hope to buy it soon.
15Brow Zings are being discontinued ladies...snag them up for $22. And the Get Even powder...check it!
16I have the Anastasia one but this is the one that my brow place uses and I bought this one for myslef and this is my most fav of all. It is from Lizette Cosmetics and you can order it online or I go to a place called Merle Norman. This is a franchise salon that you might have in your town. This is $30
17SATClover - way better than a pencil. Check them out where you can sample the product, I think you'll be amazed at these kits compared to the old fashion pencil.
18Can never get over Smashbox Brow Tech!!!
19I loooove my Brow Zings! Is Brow Zings reeeeally being discontinued??! If so, then I'm in the market for a new eyebrow kit..So I'll have to check these out.
20Amber: So what are all of the different colors for?
