Hive5: At-Home Solutions to Better Brows - Stylehive

Eyebrows are so important of the overall balance of your face. Pluck or wax them too thin, and you look blank. Leave them too thick and bushy, and you look unkempt.

J.Lo reportedly keeps not one, but two eyebrow specialists in her entourage at all times. Most of us don't have the time, resources, or ego for such an investment, but most of us could still use a little help up there. So in lieu of a good salon or brow bar, try these quick fixes at home. They should help you wrestle those seemingly sweet, but really quite unruly, little hairs into line.

The precise tip and stiff bristles of this brow brush are perfect for applying touch-up color and sweeping stray hairs into place. Tip: for perfect arches all day long, try spritzing a little hairspray into the bristles before brushing your eyebrows.. but don't forget to wash your brush thoroughly!

#5 High Brow by Benefit Cosmetics

Just make a few quick swipes of this under your eyebrows and blend it in to look instantly more awake. I prefer this over under-eye concealer because it's easier to keep in place throughout the day and has a more subtle effect.
