Review (5/5): Finally eyebrows all day!
After a mountain of research on Wunderbrow products, I came across all of the recommendations for Blissful Brows and the Duo Eyebrow brush by Keshia to make it work. I couldn’t agree more! I have never been much of a makeup person and was a bit intimidated with semi-permanent makeup since it is prone to sticking on your face for a few days. With sparse eyebrows, at best, I needed makeup and a tool that I could manage as a novice (in my 50’s!) without looking like I had small animals resting on my forehead. This makeup and the Duo brush absolutely make it work! While my first instinct was “why do I need another makeup brush - this looks just like a lip brush?,” know that this brush is different and the Blissful Brows spoolie is prone to putting the makeup on too thickly. This Duo brush is also stiffer which controls the amount of makeup you have to use and is just perfect for making short angled strokes to mimic eyebrow hair. It also has a long enough handle so that a novice like me can manage to brush a straight and not to wide line for my eyebrow tails. I can make the line thick enough to avoid looking like I used a pencil on my face. If you do use Blissful Brows, I also recommend that you use the Duo brush firmly enough so that you are reaching your skin and not just touch up the tips of your brow hairs. If you stroke the Blissful Brows onto you skin and let it sit a minute or two to dry a bit, you will be able to use the Duo spoolie end to brush through your brows to create a more natural look so that your brows don’t look plastered on. Remember that a little bit of Blissful Brows goes a very long way! (I load my brush only off of the Blissful Brows wand and only a little bit at a time!). The Duo brush holds a deceptively large amount of product - if you clean off the brush afterwards by squeezing it with a paper towel, you will be surprised at how much makeup is left over! Last thoughts: I find that if you wash your face with Noxema or if you use cocoa butter on your face as a moisturizer, you can get most if not all of the Blissful Brows off at the end of a long day (it stays put otherwise especially if you touch up your brows with toner before you apply Blissful Brows). You may want to have Noxema handy the first couple of times that you use this just in case! Highly recommend!//
