: Hi Valerie..

Mary Kay is a Christian company, from what I know about it - a woman
at work used to be one of their representatives, because of its
religious business philosophy. Their products were similar to those
you can buy in the shops, not organic or natural as many people here
understand those terms, but not at all bad quality.
About the eyebrow pencil: along with Valerie's idea about lipliner,
I'd suggest kohl eyeliner pencil. You can also find brush-on powder
eyebrow makeup, like eyeshadow but supposedly formulated for the brow
area. The Body Shop outlets might be a good starting point for these
things, but I have seen them at the chemist's in darkest Edinburgh,
so they should be available almost everywhere, and not too costly. I
use kohl from Germany and it does stay put - admittedly not on the
brows, because mine are like caterpillars, and the last thing I want
to do is attract attention there. I suspect the reason henna does
not 'take' on the brows may be that the skin there is somewhat
oilier, and because as we cleanse our faces we exfoliate...?
