Which Brow Gel is the Best for Your Money?

This is the result of my quest for a long-lasting brow gel at the lowest possible cost.  I tested the three highest-rated long-lasting ones I could find, and determined which was the best.  I have been using them on rotation over the past six months, since I first tried them and reported my impressions to you.  So now I have an update on which brow gel I think is the best for your money, based on my experience with longtime use.

However, since that time, I have found an eyebrow pencil that outlasts and outperforms the three eyebrow gels that I originally reviewed. I’ve been using it for a long time and dropped using any of the gels. You can find out about it below the eyebrow gel reviews.

2 Eyeshadow Tips for a Bold, Colorful & Lasting Look

Today I’m sharing another tip that I learned from my friend Michelle, who is an artist when it comes to makeup.  Last time, she helped me with my post “How to Make Your Lipstick Colors Look Spectacular.”  This time, I have two eyeshadow tips for a bold, colorful and lasting look.

I always have a problem with eye makeup smudging for some reason.  So I like to know how to avoid that.  If you have this problem, you might like to read my post “How to Avoid Frustration from Makeup Smudging Under the Eyes.”

Below, I am sharing with you Michelle’s advice and another similar technique.  So here are two eyeshadow tips for a bold, colorful and lasting look.

Age doesn’t matter, although it does end up making you wiser!  😉

A few months ago, Life Coach Cat Coluccio wrote a post on her blog called “Vulnerability:  3 Reasons Why Reinvention Begins with You Showing Your True Self at Midlife.”  Here at Your True Self Blog I would like to discuss these aspects of the importance of showing your true self, at midlife and beyond.  Baby boomers today are speaking out, standing up and showing themselves as women never have before.  By doing so, they are changing how women are seen and treated in our society.  It is a legacy being given to future generations of women — a new world in which age doesn’t matter.
