What’s your number? And by that we mean...how many products are in your current skincare routine?! Whether you’re a beauty ju**ie or a minimalist, everyone seems confused about how to approach their skincare — even Lilly Singh. There was a time when drugstore brands like Noxzema and Neutrogena reigned supreme, Clinique was almost a luxury, and even though Baz Luhrmann’s wear sunscreen song was a hit, there was no actual sunscreen shaming in sight.

Brow preferences can be hard to generalize. Some people like them thick and feathery while others seek a more understated, but polished brow look. There are a few brow gels that tick all the boxes: Glossier Boy Brow and Kosas Air Brow (Tinted Gel).

Two words that are synonymous with the name Glossier and equally recognizable alone; the pièce de résistance of their easy-to-use, no fuss makeup line.
