Gray Away

RealSimple.com: New Makeup and Beauty Products for Fall

It’s frustrating to spend hours—and top dollar—on salon color only to see strands of silver emerge two weeks later. A quick fix: Gray Away, an ammonia- and peroxide-free mineral-pigment spray that conceals gray regrowth until your next shampoo. Comes in four shades and is good for 40 uses.

To buy: $20 for two, grayaway.com.

Sephora Collecti...

Great news for butterfingers who love falsies. Sephora Collection Bulls Eye Lash Applicator makes the process practically bungle-proof. Clamp the device onto the center of the lashes, dip the base in glue, then place as close as possible to the roots of your real lashes. Give your lashes and the fakes a squeeze with a curler (or fingers) to seal the deal.

Penciling in brows can be harder than it looks…as you know if you’ve ever made a mess of cartoonish hash marks. The Sania Angled Mechanical Brow Pencil has a slanted tip that is as wide as an average brow, so you can achieve realistic results in one pass. Use the spool brush at the opposite end to blend. In three shades.
