I've been wanting this eyebrow brush for a couple of years after seeing it at Barneys in San Francisco. I just couldn't pay $95 for it. Thanks to Product Doctor I bought it for $39 at All Cosmetics Wholesale on Cyber Monday (I got 20% off the sale price). I can't believe I'm so pumped about an eyebrow brush.
It's huge, as you can see in the comparison photos below. It's a little over a half inch wide, while the Paula Dorf and Shu Uemura are 1/4 and 1/8 inches respectively.
The Claudio Riaz site instructs users to "pick up primer or color, press firmly at the inner corner of the brow, and follow the natural shape to groom and fill with one consistent stroke." The Barneys SA who did my brows filled in each brow in one stroke, but I'm not quite there yet. I can do it two. The badger hair picks up product quickly and in one stroke I can almost fill in an entire brow. I have a couple of bald areas that are difficult to fill, so a second application to those areas with the tiny Shu does the trick.
It's not a multi-tasker. The bristles are as stiff as those found in a hairbrush, and it feels that way too. It's not uncomfortable - it feels like your scalp does when you brush your hair. But damn! My eyebrows look good!
Instant Brow sells for $49 at All Cosmetics Wholesale, and for $95 at Barneys.com and ClaudioRiaz.com. The site doesn't indicate how long this sale will last. They seem to have most of the other brushes as well as the makeup products. I love my concealer and complexion highlighter pictured here.
