9 Of The Best New Lash & Brow Buys
Defined lashes and brows shape your face and define every great beauty look, and now, there are
1. PDC Pmel Essence Mascara Base, £16.87
A well-kept secret from Japan, PDC’s mascara base is finally available in the UK on Amazon. It acts like a waterproof top coat (though you apply it before mascara) so as whatever goes on top stays put and lifted for hours. It also seals your mascara down, so you don’t get any flaking or small black bits of formula on your face come 4pm. Genius.

2. Chanel Eyelash Curler, £28
Chanel’s first pair of eyelash curlers have recently hit shelves and they do not disappoint. Compared to other curlers we’ve tested, these don’t pinch or prod and have been designed carefully to feel more like a lash hug than a clamp down. With their cushion-y feel, they deliver a gentle swoop of curl that helps the eyes to look bigger and more open. Try warming them on a radiator or with a quick blast of a hairdryer beforehand for even bigger results.

3. Revitalash Double-Ended Volume Set, £29
Known as one of the world’s leading lash and brow conditioning brands, Revitalash have finally added a mascara to their range. Combining the powers of a primer and mascara, it uses peptides and panthenol to strengthen and condition lashes while polymers and plant extracts moisturise and improve shine. The inky black formula is impressive too and seriously effective when it comes to elongating lashes.

4. Benefit Brow Blender, £16.50
Unlike other basic brow groomers, this double-ended tool allows you to blend product and sculpt hairs at the same time for a clean, defined finish. The dome-shaped sponge has a tapered tip and works to buff in product around the arch so you have no grey, dull staining, while the micro-spoolie end brushes even the tiniest hairs into space while spreading colour evenly for a fuller finish.

5. YSL Vinyl Coloured Mascara In Shade Two, £26
Coloured mascara may seem too bold for some, but these subtle new varieties will definitely tempt you to try. We’re currently loving this burgundy hue that borders on black but nods just enough to aubergine when worn on the lashes. It catches the light very subtly but is ideal for opening up your eyes (especially those with blue or green) and giving your look a bit of edge, without going overboard.

6. Hourglass Arch Micro Sculpt Pencil, £31
This ultra-thin pencil (1.44mm at the tip to be precise) is the perfect width for filling in brows with short, quick strokes that look realistic and last all day long. Because it’s so thin, you also get complete control so it’s never too full-on or overly sculpted. The waterproof formula is a huge bonus, too – it lasts for hours on end.

7. MILK Kush Brow Gel, £15
Designed to sit alongside MILK’s cult KUSH Volume Mascara, their new brow gel lives up to the hype and then some. The tinted gel takes all of five seconds to sweep on and quickly sets uneven hairs into place while filling in sparse gaps with light, believable colour and tinted heat-shaped fibres which latch onto each individual hair for a fuller finish.

8. NYX Fill & Fluff Eyebrow Pomade Pencil, £10
The thin tip of this pencil has the creamy ease of a liquid liner so you can draw on fine, believable hairs in seconds. As for the fun paddle brush, this works to blend colour for a smooth, pigmented finish that you can build at will to create the finish you want – be it full-on bushy, or subtly fluffed up brows.

9. Tweezerman Toolmates, £29.95
Designed to hold all the brow tools you’ll ever need, this pale pink desk stand comes with a Petite Slant Tweezer (for tidying up strays), a Petite Point Tweezer (for hard-to-reach areas) and a Brow Razor (for serious precision) to keep your arches in check. Each tool is easy to use and delivers on precision every time. They also all magnetically clip into the stand so they’re always ready to use and protected from bacteria on any hard surfaces. It really is the storage solution we never knew we needed until now.
