If you have dry skin, you might have been frustrated in the past with getting brow pencils to grip to the skin and leave a mark. But Anastasia Beverly Hills is here to help! These tips will help you work with the skin you have to create brows you love. Step 1 Start by outlining the shape of your brow with Brow Wiz®, our award-winning eyebrow pencil. Then, apply hair-like strokes in sparse areas where needed. Blend with the spoolie brush for a natural-looking finish. Brow Wiz® features a wax pigment formula that glides on smooth and easy over dry skin, creating a buildable base for the next step. Step 2 Next, highlight and define your brow using Highlighting Duo Pencil. For the most natural look, apply the shimmer pencil tip first, from the arch of the brow to the end. Then apply the matte tip from the beginning of the brow to the end. Use the flat side of Brush 20 to soften and blend edges, using short, downward motions. Blend with the spoolie end of Brush 20 for that natural-looking finish.  Step 3 Description: Finally, apply Clear Brow Gel in short, upward motions – about 5 to 6 times for each brow – to set color and hold hairs in place for a clean, polished finish. Plus, you’ll be glad to know Clear Brow Gel includes soothing chamomile as an ingredient to condition your brows!

Blend with the spoolie end of Brush 7B for a natural-looking finish. Step 3 Your brows should already be looking really good! But if you still have some sparse spots to take care of, grab some Brow Wiz®. This brow pencil is great for adding definition and detail. Starting at the highest point of your brow, sketch in hair-like strokes in the direction of your natural hair growth.  Work toward the end of your eyebrow, blending with the spoolie brush as you go for natural-looking results.

Want sculpted, well-defined lips that make an impression? In this comprehensive guide, we’ll unveil expert tips and techniques to help you achieve sculpted-looking lips that will leave everyone in awe.    The Art of Lip Contouring  Using Lip Liner strategically, you can refine your lip shape and create the illusion of more defined and sculpted lips.   Begin by selecting a lip liner that matches your natural lip color or the shade of lipstick you plan to wear. Next, outline your lips, following your natural lip shape. To create the appearance of fuller lips, slightly overline the outer corners of your upper lip, and fill in your lips with the lip liner to create a seamless base for your lipstick.   Our Lip Liners are highly pigmented and glide on smoothly, allowing you to define and shape your lips with precision. The creamy formula ensures long-lasting wear, preventing your lip color from bleeding or feathering.  Create Your Sculpted Lip Look  After contouring the lip, you can add extra depth and dimension with few clever makeup tricks. It’s all about creating the subtle illusion of fuller, more defined lips. Here are some of our favorite tips for that sculpted look:     1. Define with Lip Velvet:   Lip Velvet is essential for creating a sculpted lip look. This creamy, long-wearing formula glides on effortlessly and dries to a comfortable matte finish. Its highly pigmented color allows you to define and shape your lips with precision, and sets seamlessly with your contoured lip liner.    2. Accentuating the Cupid's Bow with Highlighter:   To make your sculpted look really pop, apply a touch of highlighter using Glow Seeker Highlighter shade Sun Idol to the cupid's bow. The light-reflecting finish will draw attention to this area, creating the illusion of a more defined and sculpted lip shape.    3. Play with Pigment and Shading:   Another way to create the illusion of sculpted lips is by using additional lip color and shading. For example, apply a slightly darker shade of Matte & Satin Lipstick to the outer corners of your lips and blend it towards the center. This will create a shadow effect, making your lips appear more plump and sculpted.    Don’t Forget To Prep & Set Lip Primer   To avoid smudging and feathering, it's important to apply your lip products with care. Start by exfoliating your lips to create a smooth canvas. Then, apply a thin layer of Lip Primer to moisturize and prep your lips.   To further enhance the longevity of your lip color, blot your lips with a tissue and reapply a second coat. This will help set the lipstick and prevent it from transferring or fading throughout the day. You can also fill in your pout with lip liner after applying Lip Primer to create a more pigmented base to work with.
