Brow Primer

When you hear the expression “two is better than one,” we wouldn’t blame you if Brow Powder Duo came to mind. This duo features two complementary shades to create ombre effects and pristine, customized colors in your eyebrows. The highly pigmented, finely milled formula of Brow Powder Duo delivers buildable intensity that also blends seamlessly for your most polished looks. Whether you prefer bold, defined brows or a more subtle, natural look, this versatile product lets you style your brows perfectly.  If it’s your first time using Brow Powder Duo, or if you want some extra tips for using it, this blog post is for you!   Step-By-Step With Brow Powder Duo Achieving impeccable, defined eyebrows is easy with Brow Powder Duo! The first thing you’ll want to do is select the right shades. The specially curated shade range is designed to match your natural hair color. You can use the lighter shade to create a background color for a shadow effect and the deeper shade to create hair-like strokes in sparse areas.  When it comes to applying Brow Powder Duo, it’s always a good idea to prep your brows. Start by brushing your eyebrows with a spoolie brush to shape and tame any unruly hairs, creating a clean canvas for the powder. Applying a small amount of Brow Primer or Brow Freeze® across the brow will also help the powder adhere to skin and brow hair. To apply, use the angled side of Brush 7B to apply the deeper shade from the highest point of your brow and work toward the end. Blend as you go for a natural look. Then apply the lighter shade through the front of the brow using light pressure. Blend with the spoolie brush for a natural-looking finish. Advanced Tips & Techniques  For extra dimension in your brows, pick up a small amount of Brow Primer or Brow Freeze® on Brush 7B and pinch the fibers together to create a thin, sharp angle. Then, gently dip the brush into Brow Powder Duo and stamp into sparse areas of your brow, creating hair-like strokes with expert precision.  Gently fill in sparse areas with light, upward strokes, avoiding too much pressure for a natural appearance. Remember, less is more! When blending, apply the powder in short, feathery strokes following the natural direction of your brow hairs. Blend with a spoolie brush to soften any harsh lines, giving you a well-defined look.  To enhance dimension, use Tinted Brow Gel to set color and brows in place. This gel will also keep your brows looking groomed and defined throughout the day. Simply comb it through your brows using an upward motion for a polished finish. With these simple tips and tricks, you'll be able to achieve your best-ever brows using Brow Powder Duo.

Do your brows lack shape and definition? Maybe there’s just not a lot of there there to work with. But Anastasia believes everyone deserves perfect brows – and you are no exception. With this how-to, we’ll show you how to whip those sparse, shapeless brows into beautiful shape. Step 1 For best results with sparse and shapeless brows, our Eyebrow Stencils will help you achieve perfectly balanced, symmetrical results every time. There are five stencils in the set, so you’ll want to use Anastasia’s patented Golden Ratio® shaping technique to make sure you’re working with the right stencil for your face. Find the stencil you need, then apply Brow Primer to your brow to get ready for the next step. Step 2 Line up the stencil on the three points of the Golden Ratio, making sure the black bar is parallel to the ground. Then, using the angled-side end of Brush 7B, apply the deeper shade of Brow Powder Duo from arch to tail. After that, apply the lighter shade through the front of the brow. 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. Step 4 Finally, apply Clear Brow Gel in short, upward motions to set color and hold brow hairs in place for a clean, polished finish. This gel dries without leaving residue behind, giving brows a fuller-looking appearance. The last step: admire your dream brows!

Do you have “barely there” brows? With fine or sparse hair, almost like peach fuzz? If you’re after glorious volume and fuller-looking brows, we’re here to help. Just follow these three easy steps and we’ll show you how to do it! Step 1 Let’s start by giving those fine brow hairs some depth and color. First, apply a small amount of Brow Primer across your brow. Then, using the angled-side end of Brush 7B, apply the deeper shade of Brow Powder Duo from arch to tail. After that, apply the lighter shade through the front of the brow. Blend with the spoolie end of Brush 7B for a natural-looking finish. Step 2 Next, for sparse areas, we’ll use DIPBROW® Pomade, our fade-resistant, waterproof eyebrow pomade. Pick up a small amount of this product using Brush 12, moving the brush from side to side so you don’t pick up too much. Then apply hair-like strokes to sparse areas in your brow. Start at the highest point in your brow, then work toward the end. Use the remaining product on your brush to fill in the front of the brow. Use light pressure and blend as you go with the spoolie end of the brush. Step 3 Finally, we’ll lift and lock your brows in place with Brow Freeze®, our extreme-hold styling wax. Pick up a small amount – that’s all you need! – with Brush 12 and apply in short, upward motions. The result will be a nice-looking feathered effect for your brows.

  What’s one of the hottest trends going right now? Brow lamination is an extremely popular, semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that straightens and sets eyebrows to create a fuller, more defined look. It’s sometimes called an “eyebrow perm.”  But did you know that you can achieve much the same effect for a night out with products from Anastasia Beverly Hills? The laminated brow look isn’t difficult to master or expensive to maintain – anyone can do it! All you need is to follow three simple steps and use these product recommendations. STEP 1: FILL Brow Powder Duo Use Brow Powder Duo and Brush 7B to softly fill and define your eyebrows. You can apply the two shades separately for a natural-looking ombre effect, or blend them together to create a custom shade! Apply the lighter shade in the front of the brow, and the deeper shade from the highest point of the brow (arch) to the end of the brow. Blend with the spoolie brush as you go for a soft, natural-looking finish.  For best results, consider prepping with Brow Primer before applying Brow Powder Duo. One swipe of this colorless wax pencil will adhere the powder to the skin and hair for a seamless application.   STEP 2: DETAIL Brow Pen Next, let’s build dimension and fullness using Brow Pen, a superfine-tipped detailing pen that creates natural-looking brows. For best results, shake it before using, then use light pressure as you apply hair-like strokes in your sparse areas. Start by applying Brow Pen at the highest point of the brow and work toward the end of the brow, then lightly etch through the front. If your brow needs some additional definition or highlighting, our Pro Pencil is a versatile multi-tasking tool. To apply, start at the base of the brow and sweep from front to end, following your brow shape. Use the flat side of Brush 20 to soften and blend edges, using short, downward strokes. STEP 3: FINISH Brow Freeze® Gel Finally, let’s laminate and lock those brows in place! Brow Freeze® Gel is an innovative wax-gel hybrid that shapes, sculpts and sets brows with extreme hold. It can be used by itself on the go, but here we’re going to use it as the finishing touch for long-lasting results. For extreme, extra-long hold, we recommend Brow Freeze® styling wax.
