Without hesitation, I had my answers. If it were based on pure joy, I’d have to go with foundation (the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Serum Foundation is my go-to at the moment). But if we’re talking necessity—like literal can’t-live-without—it’s the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Gel , which launched earlier this year.
A green rush of envy flows through my veins when I go on TikTok. I see these girls ever so gently brushing their bountiful brows into place with whatever of-the-moment gel is within reach. I am not one of those girls.
As an elder millennial, I’ve definitely hit the “when I was your age” point in my life—and among the tales I’ve lived to tell is that of my over-plucked brows. Something they don’t tell you as a tween is that every single part of your body will grow hair back overnight except the places you want it to. ADVERTISEMENT I was naturally blessed with those aforementioned bold brows—and while they definitely could have used some grooming (whose don’t at that age?), I went way overboard.
If you look at any image of me from eighth grade and on, I have unnaturally thin brows. And they only got thinner as the years went on. By senior year of high school, your girl could draw their shape with a pencil.
I know I wasn’t alone with this (.
