Anastasia Eyebrow Kit

The Eyebrow Queen

An Anastasia eyebrow kit carries with it the history of one of the beauty industry's most adept female heroes. Anastasia Soare is no ordinary beauty aficionado. This woman resided as an architect in harrowing communist Romania until she pleaded for her husband to escape to the United States. Nearly three years later, Anastasia with her daughter followed suit, but she was unable to practice architecture in America. Hence, she turned toward a new career in cosmetology.

A history in architecture outfitted Anastasia with an eye and skill for structure. Applying architectural tactics when studying the face, Anastasia came up with a unique strategy for shaping eyebrows to create the appearance of an altered facial structure. Business was soon pouring in and within a very short time, Anastasia began building her multi-million dollar claim on the beauty industry.

Currently she owns several beauty salons as well as a private celebrity practice. In addition, her cosmetic line, entitled Anastasia, is a leading name in eyebrow technology.

Tips for Using an Anastasia Eyebrow Kit

When setting out to pluck, there are a few things to consider first. Anastasia always recommends that a client go to an eyebrow specialist for a primary shaping before using an Anastasia kit in the home. This initial shaping will be the shape you work with for the rest of your life. It is important to tweeze hair in the direction of the hair growth, staying within the lines your specialist has created for you.

Tweezing, not waxing, is the recommended form of brow maintenance. Waxing your own brows can be tricky and often too much hair is removed. Also, it is recommended that brows be shaped after a hot shower when the pores remain open. This lessens the amount of pain during plucking.

When using brow pencils, one should select a color that is one shade lighter than one's natural brow color. Doing so lessens the severity of the look. However, if you have extremely light blonde eyebrows, one shade darker is recommended to provide the brows with definition.

Never tweeze the hairs atop the eyebrows. This may result in uneven spots and holes. Instead, it is suggested that the area between the eyebrows and under the brow bone be the places of focus.

Inside the Kits

The most popular Anastasia eyebrow kit is called the All About Brows Kit and it is available exclusively through Sephora stores nationwide. This kit includes:

• Tweezers
• A Brow Powder Duo
• Four Brow Stencils
• A Duo Angle/Spooley Brush
• Brow Gel
• Highlighting Pencil

Each of these items has a specific purpose for shaping and accentuating your eyebrows. The tweezers are extremely precise, resulting in the extraction of even the most difficult hairs. The four provided stencils will help you determine and maintain the best brow shape for your face. Furthermore, this kit is available for three brow color types: Ash Blonde, Medium Ash, and Ash Brunette.

The Incredible Browzer Anastasia eyebrow kit is geared toward emphasizing your brows. This kit is also available only at Sephora stores, though it is a special edition and, therefore, supplies are limited. The kit contains two eye shadow creams in soft gold and champagne colors that can be used as an all-over color or a highlighter for your brows. Complimenting lip gloss shades and a duo brow powder will liven up your complexion, while a tinted brow gel (you can choose between a kit for blondes or brunettes) keeps your brows in place all night. The finishing touch, however, is the addition of a Lounge Mix CD.

The Brow Ex-press Anastasia kit is significantly simpler than the previous two kits. It focuses mainly on the coloring of the brows and includes coordinated brow powders, a cream highlighter, and a wax cream intended for the maintenance of your eyebrow shape. An angled brush is also included and, once again, the kit comes in two styles that differentiate between blondes and brunettes.

Purchasing Information

An Anastasia eyebrow kit and other products within the Anastasia cosmetic line can all be purchased at specific nationwide Sephora stores. Not every Sephora stores carries the entire Anastasia line, but these items can also be obtained online for a meager shipping charge.
