Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

If you are among the many who have sought out the perfect brow pencil only to be disappointed, then my new revelation can be yours as well. EcoBrow Defining Wax & EcoBrow Defining Brush effortlessly and flawlessly allow you to achieve perfect brows that look natural. In the spirit of full disclosure, I have at best, been sporadic in my use of brow filling products. I have naturally very dark brows that I felt needed little grooming, but EcoBrow Defining Wax shifted my paradigm. It leaves my brows looking gorgeous and natural– best described as my brows but better, and achieving this so easily has turned it into an effortless step in my daily beauty routine.

According to EcoBrow,

Marco Ochoa the eyebrow stylist of many Hollywood celebrities launches the first line of natural makeup for eyebrows and the cleanest, universal product on the market ecobrow Defining Wax.  Marco’s formula blends and diffuses easily into the brow hair, and contains silica for oil absorption as well as nourishing Vitamin E. The intensity of each shade can be controlled easily with the application — you can go as light or dark as you’d like.  ecobrow is arriving at Sephora stores and available on Sephora.com this April. 

A mineral-based wax that allows you to achieve beautiful, full-brow effects. Fill and define your eyebrows with precision using this unique, paraben-free formula. inspired by the eyes of Hollywood icons, Ecobrow Defining Wax is formulated to match every skintone. It’s infused with silica for oil-absorption and Vitamin E, which nourishes the hairs. Versatile, any shade can double as an eyeliner, and it blends easily into the brow hair, leaving behind a luxuriously smooth texture and long-lasting hold. 

His famous eyebrows and products can be recognized on Camila Alves, Jennifer Lawrence, Eva Longoria, Khloe Kardashian, Malin Ackerman, Fernanda Romero plus.
Marco uses a simple three step process: Dab, Fill and Blend

DabUsing a duo angled/spooley brush, like the EcoBrow Defining Brush, lightly DAB the angle side of the brush with wax. TIP: Use the inside of the cap to remove any excess product. Marco suggests going light at first and then building from there. That’s the great thing about the wax — the intensity can easily be controlled with the application. You can go as light or dark as you want.

FillNext you want to FILL in the brows using short, hair-like strokes, applying more as needed. TIP: Fill in the bare spots first and then work from there.

BlendLastly, you want to use the spooley side to brush the brows upward and BLEND the wax in perfectly. And voilá! You’ve got iconic eyebrows, naturally.

I simply follow Marco's instructions, and the results are brow perfection every single time!

  1. Because I have bangs and because I get my brows colored at Sassoon along with my hair, I seldom bother with them except for tweezing. I know that's a mistake, but half the time they don't even show! Also, finding the right shade is tough with red hair. Rita/Auburn is the recommended shade here, but it looks too dark for me. I often find the best match with a lip pencil. All this complaining aside, lol, I will definitely take a look at Rita/Auburn next trip to Sephora. I could use a brow game-changer!

    1. It's not a mistake if it works for you! I think that you are quite right that it is a challenge to find the right shade for red heads. Rita would definitely be the one, but I think that you definitely need to see it in person to make sure that it is close enough to your brow color to be worth getting. What a brilliant idea to use a lip pencil! This quality of the EcoBrow Defining Wax is definitely fantastic, and well worth having provided that the shade works for you! :-)

  4. I use Anastasia brow powder. I used to use the Benefit wax prior to that. I like both products but prefer the powder now. I watched the video and honestly thought the model's brows looked better in the before picture. I don't mind a bold brow (and a good brow frames the face), but there was no need to amp hers up that much IMO.

    1. Anastasia makes great brow products. Well, bold brows are certainly enjoying a major comeback– of that there is no doubt.

    1. It definitely looks very intense in the pot, but as you can see it is actually a very wearable shade.

  12. I haven't heard of this brand before, but I think that this is nice. I know the hype is on ABH... but the dip brow dries out my brows so I would be interested in trying this one.
