BROW DOWN

in 2013, prepare to get bigger and better with this new collection from mac.

I long ago mastered the art of the cat eye, the secret to liquid liner, and the key to good mascara application. But for all my obsessing over eyes, brows always fell to the wayside. Time kept me from filling in with a pencil, and fear of an over-zealous waxer stopped me from any regular upkeep. And then suddenly this year, I had a change of heart.

Whether it was from the Edie-inspired brows at Marc Jacobs, the Helmut Newton-esque arches at Jason Wu, or the ultra-bold hairs at Alexander Wang, the spring 2013 shows had me determined to pay a little more mind to what was above my brows. And thanks to MAC's latest collection The Stylish Brow, it's easier than ever. The beauty brand rounded up a few of their must-haves--including their Veluxe Brow Liner and their Fluidline Brow Gelcreme--and added to them limited-edition Brow Duos so that there's no longer an excuse to ignore your brows. The Duos feature complementary powder colors in matte and satin to help build up your arches without overdoing them (and come in three shades--blonde, brunette, and redhead--so unless you're sporting hot pink Manic Panic tresses you should be set).

The entire line doesn't officially hit stores until January 10, but you can order them right now online. Trust me when I say it gives me a reason to arch my (now bigger, better) brows in excitement.
