I was really excited to try the Toppik brow building fibers because I’ve had very sparse eyebrows my entire life. I envy women with the full, natural brows, the kind that are so effortlessly alluring. My eyebrows were so thin that I even broke down and got “3D natural looking permanent eyebrows” last year in an attempt to omit the eyebrow drawing process all together from morning routine. But even with permanent makeup I am still not completely satisfied. Being a perfectionist and all, I am still resorting to filling in the light spots every day anyway.

I’ve tried it all before, pencils, cremes, gels, gel pencils … You get the picture right?

Enter Toppik: To begin the Toppik process, you apply the brow shaping wax with the angled end of a the dual end brush (included in set) and apply where you want a little more fullness. Easy enough.

Next you dip the rounded end into the “Brow Building fibers” – made of keratin, for a natural look – and lightly dab onto your brows for the fullness and definition you desire.

Viola. Brows.

All in all it was an easy process, and although it was my first time, I didn’t have any mishaps, and I know that as I get a little more assimilated to the process, I could probably reach my “brow goals’ in a matter of two to three minutes.

This is heaven-sent to me. I’ve had days where drawing eyebrows made me late to work! Yes, I am one of those women who just take their brows really seriously. Don’t judge me.

I played with two different shades, medium brown and dark brown and both look very natural. I used the dark brown and it blended in superbly with my sad, hardly-there baby brows. I am a happy camper.

Definitely give Toppik a try if you’re tired of the unnatural or “drawn in” eyebrow look, especially if you don’t have much to begin with!
