Chemo was my friend last year and I was left with no brows. After trying absolutely EVERY brow product, with inconsistent results, this tip was given to me by an Anastasia rep. It’s changed my life!
Use a damp brush with an appropriate eyeshadow color to draw on brows.
It looks more natural, stays on, and is much easier. I use a small, domed brush from ELF that is the perfect width, but whatever you are comfortable with.
