In 2018, no beauty trend is more in vogue than cannabis-infused skin care. According to the experts, the medicinal herbs help the body regenerate itself, in addition to curbing the production of sebum (oil) and decreasing inflammation. So it was only a matter of time before someone discovered a way to harness those same benefits in makeup, too. Last month, Milk Makeup did just that with the unveiling of a brow gel made with hemp-derived cannabis oil. Interest was instantly piqued.
As it turns out, the vegan ingredient?when combined with beeswax?is also able to bind and hold hairs together without leaving behind that gunky, flaky buildup. Now, as someone whose brow journey has included an exhausting number of pencil and gel tests, in addition to a round of microblading, I take my brow maintenance seriously. But when testing something new, it’s equally important to include all parts of the eyebrow spectrum, because if it only works for one type of brow, well, it’s not worth the hype. So, in an effort to save you money and time, three members of our team took the product for a spin. See how each of us fared below. MORE: A Crash Course on the Cosmetic Benefits of Cannabis
