The Shortcut: Balm Brows
The Shortcut: Balm Brows Thanks to Cara Delevingne and Lily Collins, brows are seriously having a moment. To fake perfectly a groomed pair in seconds, skipover your tweezers and reach for your lip balm. "After applying lip balm, use your finger to swipe through your brows," says Soliz. "Face powders can get trapped in your brows and alter the color and texture. The touch of lip balm helps remove excess powder and helps keep brows in place."
