Reader Review: MAC Brow Set

The other day, Fab came over and started waving a tube of brow gel in my face.

The other day, Fab came over and started waving a tube of brow gel in my face. "Have you tried this?" she asked. "It is the best." Since I hadn't, I asked her if she'd share a review with you. Since she's a sweetie, she agreed to. So, take it away, Fab:

"My eyebrow prayers have been answered. Here's how. . .

"I never had a lot of brow to begin with. I covet the thick, dramatic brows of Jennifer Connelly, Angie Harmon and, of course, Audrey Hepburn. Like all adolescent girls, I took a tweezer to my brows at a too-early age. I quickly learned that thin brows didn't work for my face, and now I am in a happy brow place, sort of.

"My brows don't have natural lushness and for photo ops and evening I use a kit to plump them up. But for everyday, I let them be their usual uninteresting selves. And so, I found M·A·C Brow Set ($13.50) and I've had fiercer brows ever since. The awesome thing is it doubles as a brow gel so I don't have to use a separate product for that. I just lightly glide it on with its round mascara brush and Q-Tip away any unnecessary brow gel. It comes in six colors; I use Beguile (pictured) for my dark brown brows. Great price, great brows."

I should add that Fab really does have great brows, and from looking at them, I never would have guessed that she uses any product at all. Fab tested, Bella approved.

Get The Most From Your Makeup: Your Old Toothbrush

About to throw out that old toothbrush of yours, are you?

About to throw out that old toothbrush of yours, are you? Whoa Nelly, hold your horses. Your used toothbrush can also double as an eyebrow brush! I know it sounds kind of disgusting, but if you clean it properly, it's not going to transfer any cooties—I promise!

First, disinfect it by soaking in it hot water infused with liquid anti-bacterial soap. Then, instead of spending more cash on a brow brush or a brow gel, just spritz a little bit of your favorite light hold hairspray on the bristles of your toothbrush to help hold the shape. Voila, you've got yourself a brow brush! For more ideas on how to save money and get the most from your makeup, click here.

Clearly Fabulous Brow Gels

After you've perfected your arch and filled in your wow brows, you've got to set your eyebrows so that they don't become unruly and wild.

After you've perfected your arch and filled in your wow brows, you've got to set your eyebrows so that they don't become unruly and wild. To apply, use the same motion as you would when putting on mascara. Here are some fabulous, crystal clear brow gels that act in the same sort of way that a light hold hair hair gel would act on your hair.


Lola Brow Gel will put your rebellious brows in their place. This gel goes on extremely smoothly and it won't clump or flake. Your brows will simply feel set and secure, but never stiff or gooey. Buy it here for $16 in clear only.

Paula Dorf Brow Gel is another crystal clear get that acts as a brow groomer. I love Paula's stuff because it's professional quality without costing a fortune. Buy it here for $16.

Amazing Brow Gel is a real underdog in the cosmetics world. I think that their products are truly amazing. You only need one coat of their clear brow gel to reach your desired effect. Buy it here for $12.
