You’re probably thinking the same thing I was thinking when M•A•C introduced this new Waterproof Brow Set…NOT ANOTHER EYEBROW ANYTHING!!!
I felt like we have totally been over obsessed with eyebrows this past couple of seasons and I really don’t understand it. One brand specializes in brow products, then Instagrammers go nuts with scouring for bigger bolder even more colorful brows! What’s next on this new brow frontier?
Well, I answered my own question…not water resistant but waterproof brow set! Not a brow gel but a set (setting the natural brow hairs in place). Well, with all the work most Pro MUA’s do can find them in some unlikely situations.
EXAMPLES:
1) Having to spray liquids on a makeup and not have any streaks of makeup flowing down
2) With men the focal points on men with facial hair are brows, sideburns,mustaches and beards (especially these days with men actually growing out long styled beards).
You know sometimes with character makeup you may have to completely change the appearance of a person and; surprisingly changing someone’s brows can really make a person look different!
After testing out these colors I’ve got to say I’m really LOVING THIS PRODUCT!!! All the colors are matte except for one that has a slight shimmer to it Toasted Blonde. My personal favorite is Red Chestnut. I like it for a slightly bleached brow look without actually bleaching my brows!
Where was this product in the 90’s when all of us top MUA’s were on Blonde Ambition Brow watch, buying cases of Jolene Cream Bleach?!?? No slight to Jolene, which is still the #1 selling facial hair bleaching cream!
I also love the smaller brush head. This brush helps you really navigate combing through the hair and getting each strand covered!
Okay now lets look at the available colors. There are 6 colors all together.
1)Emphatically Blonde
(light ash taupe color)
2) Toasted Blonde
(golden slightly shimmery)
3) Red Chestnut
(red brown)
4) Gentle Brunette (not pictured)
5) Bold Brunette
(chocolate brown)
6) Brown Ebony
(chocolate black)
Alright people as much as I love this brow set it does have it’s areas that need improvement. Well it’s not completely waterproof more like water-resistant and I think they should add 1 or 2 more colors like silver and a shimmery snow white (for actors playing older characters).
Overall do I love it? Emphatically…YES!!!
M•A•C’s Pro Longwear Waterproof Brow Set sells for $17.00
