Highbrow eyebrow

Eyebrow maintenance, I believe, is a little like exercise.  You feel generally anxious about it as everyone else seems to do very complex things and you just plod on doing what you've always done and hoping you're getting away with it.

My father had Denis Healey eyebrows which would shoot skywards in moments of comedy or drama and my sister and I live in fear that we are going to wake up one morning with two strips of badger hair over each eye.  I am also starting to develop terrifying white coarse eyebrow hairs - only one every three months but it's enough to make me book in for a haircut and go on a diet immediately every time I discover one.

I went to Liberty recently to seek eyebrow advice and spoke to the Nars lady, who sold me completely the wrong colour eyebrow pencil.  They look utterly drawn on when I use it, like a pantomime dame.

Then this arrived - ta da!  The HD Eyebrow palette.  Six neutral shades, the right tools (sponge pads, definition brush) to fill in eyebrow gaps and highlight the browline and, splendidly, a very large, very clear mirror.  It's a fabulous kit;  really excellent.

With this kit you can get exactly the right colour, whether you want to go a little darker for a more dramatic evening look or just nicely groomed for daytime.  There's no gimmicks, the powder's good quality, and for around £25 I think it's a bargain.   Set to be my product of the year.
