Casting a Raised Eyebrow at Too Faced
Thu., Sep. 13, 2007 5:58 PM PDT by Staff
Gorgeous makeup won't mean a thing if your eyebrows aren't perfectly primped. But between years of tweezing and waxing, you may be hard-pressed to pull off this season's tuft trend of fuller, more natural-looking brows. That's where hip cosmetics line Too Faced believes it can help.
The company claims its Brow Envy Kit is foolproof, giving you arched and defined eyebrows in an instant! The customizable kit comes equipped with three stencil shapes (Girl Next Door, Glamour Girl and Femme Fatale) you can use over your sparse brows. A brow brush and two powders are included to fill in the silhouettes.
Worried about matching your brows to your hair color? Too Faced insists women can get a coordinating shade by mixing the powders. There's also a brow pencil to help create the perfect arch, plus mini-tweezers, a built-in mirror and brow wax.
Too Faced creator Jarrod Blandino says, "Creating stellar, perfectly groomed brows is an art, and I've demystified how to do it for countless women who are afraid to try."
The Brow Envy Kit sure sounds like it has everything we could possibly need for movie-star arches, but will it really give us beautiful brows in no time? We asked Style staffers to find out!
"We all know how important eyebrows can be. This kit won't completely replace that pro you pay a visit to once every few weeks, but it's a good kit to have around to maintain your brows between appointments. It helps you accomplish a more defined brow on a daily basis. The shape stencils provided take a little time to get the hang of, but once you do, they come in very handy. My favorite parts of the kit were the wax that sets the brows before you fill them in and the brush that comes with the brow pencil. This is a kit that won't be leaving my makeup drawer anytime soon!"

"I completely recommend the Too Faced Brow Envy kit for anyone who has too-thin brows and is looking for a full, foxy look. I've purchased other brow kits, but they just weren't the same. Oftentimes, the stencils were way too long for my brows. You get a great variety of stencils with this kit. (Girl Next Door was perfect for me.) This kit is great because it contains everything you need to create perfect brows. The mini tweezers are convenient and really pack a punch! It's so tough to find good tweezers, much less ones that come with all the other goodies. The mirror makes things convenient, too! Everything comes neatly organized in one cute and handy case."
—Dione L., On Air Design
"I've spent plenty of time and money to avoid plucking my own eyebrows. I simply cannot get them even by myself! But the Too Faced Brow Envy kit has all the tools to get it right. The stencils were a little tricky at first. I ended up overshading my brows, but it helped once the stencils were off. Once I had the right shape, I could pluck away. I did one at a time and was surprised at the comparison. (Maybe a little embarrassed, too!) The tweezers that came in the kit were short and worked well, but I still prefer my Tweezerman. The whole process took about 30-40 minutes, so I wouldn't use the kit all the time, but I definitely prefer it to getting waxed!"

1. I was watching tv yesterday and there was a small spot between shows that talked about arching the eyebrow. Making three dots at different points of the brow, then drawing a line and removing hairs that are not in the lines. At the end, it said to go to mystyle.com for further instructions, but I can not find the article.
