One of the things they don't tell you about getting old is women's eyebrows starting going bald. Yes, folks. That's why we slather eyebrow pencil all over what's left of our eyebrows like we are playing a raccoon for Halloween. We also try using mascara to simulate individual hairs. But, that has issues too. It's the other end of the spectrum or unibrow.

When I saw the commercial for Maybelline's new product - Brow Drama - I thought my time had come.Their web site touts it as "Our first Brow-Enhancing Mascara."



It was hard to find in my area at first but I forged ahead and finally found it. It was a couple dollars more than I felt was reasonable but I was desperate to try something to alleviate my daily wipe and swipe eyebrow painting routine.- more like Picasso than Rembrandt. I rushed home and pried open the package and began to apply it.

To say I was disappointed is an understatement. The only thing "new" was the shape of the brush. However, the shape didn't do much to accurately shape an eyebrow no matter what angle I tried.

I chose Deep Brown and that was a good match, if I could get enough out of the bottle. The amount of liquid dispensed was infinitesimal. I dipped and re-dipped it but all that did was leave clumps on my forehead.

When all is said and done, this was not a very satisfactory product.
