00:00Straight from the pages of Essence Magazine, I'm Corinne Corbett, your Beauty Director.
00:04Here to take you on a journey to discover the fiercest products,
00:08the latest gadgets, and talk about all things beautiful.
00:12This is Beauty All Access.
00:20So today, I want to talk to you ladies about brows.
00:24I am always in search of the perfect brow, and I'm sure you are too.
00:28Now, we go to the brow specialist that I get our brows groomed,
00:32but that day-to-day look and achieving it and keeping a perfect brow every day,
00:38it's not so easy, if you ask me.
00:40But I have some products that will help you get there.
00:43So if you have thick brows, ladies, what you really need after a good shaping
00:47is a great brow sealant, a gel.
00:51I like the Makeup Forever Brow Seal.
00:53You can apply it to your brows, and it'll hold your shape in place all day.
00:59And clear gels work for everyone.
01:02You don't have to worry about your hair color.
01:03But if you dye your hair and don't want to dye your brows,
01:08look for a tinted brow gel that matches the color of your hair,
01:13and it'll just lighten your brow slightly, and you don't have to have the commitment.
01:17Next up is powder.
01:19Now, powder is for those of us who have almost perfect brows
01:23and just have to fill in the little sparse spaces.
01:26And my favorite product right now is the Lameek Brow Powders.
01:31I wear Southside because it's brown.
01:34We often think we have to go with black, but black is going to be really, really harsh on our brown skin tones.
01:39So unless you have really, really dark hair, you stay away from black.
01:43I really need a pencil because I'm one of those girls who has very little brows.
01:48And makeup artist Marelle Hollis turned me on to this pencil,
01:52which is the Aman Brow Pencil.
01:54And I love, love, love, love this shade because it's brown again and really, really natural.
02:00See the color?
02:02It defines really, really well.
02:05And the trick when you're applying your brow pencil is that you just want to do quick strokes.
02:10You don't want to draw the line like that because that's going to look harsh.
02:13But you want to do quick, easy strokes to create that soft, even brow.
02:18Some of us need help creating that shape.
02:21And I love, love, love this next product.
02:24Anastasia.
02:25A lot of you may have heard of her.
02:26She's a brow guru from Beverly Hills.
02:28Has a few Anastasia outlets in Sephora stores across the country.
02:32And you can get your brows professionally shaped there.
02:34But when you want to work on your brows at home, she also has these nifty stencils, which I love.
02:39You find your art shape by just placing the stencil on your eye.
02:43When you find the one that fits most perfectly, you simply fill in.
02:49You fill in with your pencil or powder and you get the best brow shape you've ever had in your life.
02:56So remember, if you have thick brows, you need a gel.
03:00If you have medium to thin brows, you can use a powder.
03:04And if you have thinner brows, you want a pencil.
03:07And everybody can benefit from a stencil.
03:11So there you have it.
03:12Four great ways to achieve great brows at home.
03:15Try them out. I'm sure you're going to love it.
