00:00Hi guys, I'm senior beauty editor Lexi Lebsack and we're here hanging out in LA
00:04with celebrity makeup artist Kira Nasrat. Hi! So me and Kira have known each other
00:08for many years and I have to say the last year or two you've been blowing up,
00:14killing the celebrity makeup artist game. Thank you. You have been. Every time I go
00:17to Kira's Instagram it's a new celebrity. Jamie Chong and Bebe Rexha, Jessica Alba,
00:23you are killing the game. Aw, thank you. You are. Just trying to stay busy. So Kira
00:29took some time out from her schedule to come in and test over a hundred
00:33drugstore brow products to narrow down to the five best. If you haven't already
00:38click the red button below to subscribe so you don't miss any of our hundred
00:41product videos. The drugstore products in terms of you know beauty, the brow cream
00:46is pretty strong. I look for products that are going to have a color payoff and
00:52also products that you know are just easy to use. Which one is the first brow
00:58product pick. The first product is the NYX Sculpt and Highlight. What really drew
01:02me to this one in particular is that it just glides right on. Yeah. And it really
01:09does have a nice color you know payoff. Yeah. I think this is really a great one
01:13for someone who has a little bit more of like a bolder brow. Okay. And they just
01:17want to fill in some areas and even someone who's maybe growing their brows out
01:22like myself. Yeah. As you guys probably tell I don't know. There is a highlighter
01:28at the end. I love that. Yeah I love it too and you can actually like cheat with this
01:33kind of a highlighter into maybe covering a little bit of the hairs that are
01:36growing out or whatnot. Ooh. Or even just to kind of make the brows look a little bit
01:40more bolder to give that contrast. I'm gonna demonstrate on the gorgeous Amber. So
01:45I'm actually just going to keep the shape that she has already and I can tell
01:49that she's growing her brows out just like I am. Okay. Now we have this
01:54highlighter on the end. We're just gonna put a little bit of this underneath.
01:59Ooh. Ooh, they do look great. They do look good, right? They look so good.
02:05Alright, Kira, take us to number two. Okay. So number two in our pick is actually not a
02:12pencil or anything of that sort. It's actually a brow gel. It's very, very crucial and
02:18plays a big part in the brow game so strong. So what's nice about this is you
02:25can, with the smaller areas, you can really kind of go in and concentrate on
02:30like certain hairs that are more sparse. Yeah. While the thicker ends you can just
02:34kind of brush through and what's nice is this texture or the product itself, the gel,
02:40it's not like sticky, which I love. If it's sticky, it's not going in like it.
02:46My eyebrows, like many people's eyebrows, probably just go like that. They just kind
02:51of like go straight down. Yeah. And I want them like brushed up. Yeah. So I swear by a
02:56brow gel. Good. And this one's a really good one. I mean, if you're gonna run to the
03:00drugstore and you're gonna need a brow gel, that one's a good one. Take us to number
03:04three. Okay. So the third is the NYX three-dimensional brow product. NYX, first time in
03:12this franchise's history, we get one brand with two shout outs. So what I love
03:17about this, it's like a marker. It has precision, but it stays on so long. I tried
03:24this earlier and I was scrubbing my hands backstage to come off. So this is great
03:29for those who really don't have brows, but want to create, you know, like very, very
03:36fine hair. Yeah. It comes in many different shades. I chose the darker one
03:41just because I want to show you guys and I just want to be dramatic right now.
03:45Yeah, totally. So, I mean, look how gorgeous. It's a good one. I mean, I put this on 10
03:49seconds ago and like, look. Yeah, it dries real fast. Cool. I mean, for those who want
03:54brows during yoga session, or working out, this could be really good. Great. And again,
04:00it comes in different shades. So, you know, if you want to go lighter on this, go for it.
04:05If you have a really full brows and you're deeper, you know, skin tone, maybe the darker
04:10one is your best bet. Very cool. I love it. We're going on now to number four.
04:16Almay. Almay. I know. Almay just, they just do it. Yeah. That's great. You know, I've always,
04:23to be completely honest, I've always sort of overlooked Almay because it's been in the
04:29every single one of these videos. Like, the artist just comes in and just picks it.
04:34And this is not sponsored. It's not sponsored. This is, like, real. This is real life.
04:37People will say it's sponsored, but it's not. It's just, they just have good products.
04:41There's nothing worse than getting a brow pencil that has a brush on the end that, like,
04:45hurts your brows when you're applying it. So, this is stiff enough but soft enough for where
04:49it's not going to irritate your brows. All right, I really want to see this Almay win in action.
04:54So, do you want to do it yourself? Yeah, do it on myself. So, I'm going to brush it up.
04:59And out because I'm letting them grow out and I got to make them look not so bushy.
05:07Mm-hmm. I'm going to just fill in the areas that need to be filled in and just gently creating
05:12little brow hairs. So, I'm going to stay away from filling in closer to the inner brow.
05:21Okay. So, last but not least is the brow pencil from L'Oreal. And this one is just a brow
05:32style
05:32designer pencil. What I love about this is you really, really can go in and draw super fine hairs
05:39with this. Love it. And it rolls on really beautifully. So, it's not going to pull onto
05:45your skin. And this is in the blonde shade. It's much lighter. And I actually use blonde sometimes
05:51on myself. Cool. Yeah. I feel like I've always been just been in the habit of going darker with my
05:56brow. I'm picking like a very dark brown color. But I'm sort of curious to see what the blonde
06:01would look like. Should we try this on you? Okay. I totally would do this on you. Okay. Yeah. Let's
06:06do it.
06:07Brushing up and out. And you could really go in with this. It's not going to give you any crazy
06:13brow effect. Let's throw some gel in there. Yes. Give me a hit of that gel. Ooh. It's good for
06:20you.
06:20That's really nice. You know I'm such a big brow girl. I do. She made you perfect for this. I
06:27know.
06:27Thank you. Yay. Good to see you. Okay. So, where can people find you online to follow you and your
06:34work?
