Get Perfect Arches

Eyebrows are the first thing people will notice about your face, even if it's unconsciously; they are among women's most overlooked and underrated features. Having a well groomed brow will bring the attention to your eyes and even more importantly, serve as a frame for the entire face. Even if you're not at all big on make-up or beauty cosmetics, maintaining your brows are essential. With hundreds of products on the market aimed towards brows and their maintenance, below, Beauty Muse has narrowed down our favourite products for your arches:

1. Waxes/Gel: Anastasia Brow Ex-Press ($38, sephora.com), available in 2 colours (blonde & brunette)
This palette is the supreme travel kit for creating perfect, Hollywood eyebrows anywhere. It contains everything you need to achieve the perfect brows:
-4 perfect brow stencils created by Anastasia to suit a range of brow shapes and styles (stencil results vary from different face structures and hair growth);
-2 brow powders in your colour range to blend the most natural brow color to your own;
-an angled brush for precise application;
- cream highlighter to apply along to advance and accentuate the eyes;
- wax cream to keep those brows in place all day long.
2. Pencil: Diorshow Brow Styler Ultra-Fine Precision Brow Pencil ($28, sephora.com), universal shade
This ultra-fine pencil is the supreme tool to define, fill, and shape your brows to excellence. Perfectly tamed brows are the key to that finishing touch look of refinement. This pencil comes in a universal shade (that flatters everybody) with a superfine tip that helps create a naturally clean and polished look for women of every skin tone and hair color.
3. Tools: Slant Tweezers- Tweezerman ($20, sephora.com)
It is no wonder these babies have been named "Best of Beauty" (for the 8th year in a row!) in the tool department for brows. All major make-up artists and estheticians recommend this amazing brow-shaping tool and we couldn't agree more: they are ideal for removing even the most stubborn of hairs. They are also great because for those small hairs, use the pointy side, and for the thicker, broader hairs, the angled side is best (for general tweezing): this tool is what you need to achieve true precision for your (eyebrow) hair removal.
4. Kits: Anastasia: The Kit for Perfect Brows and Eyes ($75, sephora.com)
Anastasia (known for her amazing brow ex-press), has updated her kit to include products enhancing brows, eyes and skin! Use these expert tools to shape a pair of gorgeous arches to emphasize your face brilliantly, or to preserve your salon brow at home. It now includes:
- Cooling Eye Brightener: a soft cream-serum mixture that helps to cool, tone, soften, and de-puff around the eye area, especially after tweezing
- Mini Lash Lifting Mascara (along with the original brow items) - Brow Powder Duo, Stencils, Precision Tweezers
- Clear Brow Gel, Matte Camille Highlighter
