How's your brow game, ladies?  If you ask me, well, I'm still mastering my skills to achieve perfectly neat and filled brows.  Again, I admit that I don't excel in the reshaping and grooming department.  I always struggle when I don't follow my their natural shape.  All I know is how to fill them in.  That's it.

But thanks to my new brow weapons, it's now easier for me to practice.  I really made a good choice buying a brow crayon and of course, its reliable partner, browcara.

Before, I was only using eye shadow as my filler.  It worked for me and actually, I still reach for it from time to time.  Recently, I finally decided to "press Q" (control to switch weapons in an action game called Counter Strike HAHA!) and now 'em bad boys are happier.

In the brow arsenal, I chose this crayon type called Wonder Drawing by Holika Holika.  It's the common multipurpose tool because it has a spoolie brush at one end and the actual colored stick at the other.


Obviously, no need to sharpen.  All you need to do is to twist it.

According to the product description, this one's very long lasting.  See the label?  It says 24 hours (keep on reading to see how it looked like after several hours).


I picked Dark Brown.  The other shades are Gray Black, Light Brown and Red Brown.

What I love about it:

• color payoff is pretty good even with light pressure
• it glides on smoothly
• stick is not too thick and it's angled - perfect if you want a more precise application
• travel friendly - no need to bring a separate brush
• easy to use
• perfect tool to use if you're in a hurry
• fills in sparse areas nicely
• has a waxy formula - lasts longer than powder

Seriously, ever since I tried brow tint, I realized what I had missed all my life.  HAHA!  The effect is just mind-blowing.

Browcara instantly makes brows look fantastic.  There's really a huge difference.  Trust me.


As my second weapon, here's Eyelove Proof Browcara, still from Holika Holika.  It's water and sweat-proof as per product description.  By the way, I didn't really look for long-lasting brow tools when I was shopping for these two.  I just picked them because they're not too expensive.  However, the longevity is a plus point for me.


The brush has a fat middle and it's slimmer towards the tip.  I do not have any problem with this type of applicator.


It only comes in 2 shades.  Of course, I picked Natural Brown to match the brow crayon.  The other one is Light Brown.


When I need to rush my makeup or whenever I feel lazy (and that's 80% of the time), I just use either the browcara or the brow stick.


What I love about it:

• very pigmented - though I'm not sure if the Light Brown shade has the same color intensity
• really tames unruly brows 
• gives a neat and natural finish
• can be used alone
• does not make the hair stiff
• clings well to the hair strands
• fills in sparse area
• no strange scent
