My brows—or rather, lack thereof—are the bane of my existence. In fact, when I don’t pencil (or powder or gel) them, I look like I have no brows whatsoever. None. I usually refer to my naked, pre-brow product face as “a well-groomed Gollum.” And so every morning, I brush, powder, trace, brush again, sculpting and shaping something out of nothing with my trusty army of brow products (currently on rotation: Julep’s soon-to-be released new Brow Powder, Stila’s Stay All Day Brow Gel ($34), and an amazing brow pencil I picked up at a Japanese dollar store). But even when I do fill my them in, I find that my natural brows are so incredibly sparse that there isn’t enough hair for the powder (or gel) to catch onto, and I’m left with little gaps along my brow line. I know, I know—the struggle is real.
