Lindsay Lohan has lived many lives. Childhood star, teen queen, comeback-maker of the century. But she'll forever be a total beauty icon. The 39-year-old, who currently resides in Dubai with husband Bader Shammas and their 2-year-old son Luai, recently took a break from filming her new thriller series for Hulu to show Vogue Arabia what she keeps in her bag. Considering how fabulous she's been looking, I was immediately sat in the hopes of getting some makeup recs, and let's just say I was not disappointed.

In a video posted to the publication's Instagram, Lohan dove into her massive orange Hermès Birkin, which she revealed was her very first purchase from the famous French luxury house. In addition to a Tide Pen and handful of mini dinos (#momlife), Lohan whipped out a beauty essential from Merit: the Brow 1980 volumizing pomade ($24). "I have my Merit [brow gel], which is always good for when I'm on the go to keep them looking...nice," the star said as she showed off the little gold tube.

As someone with lighter brows myself, I can totally relate to Lohan's desire to keep hers looking bold and fluffy throughout the day. And while I've yet to try Merit's lightly tinted take on brow pomade, I've heard good things from my fellow PureWow editors, including Stephanie Meraz, who reviewed the brand's entire line.

"For days when I’m running errands or just not wearing too much makeup, I like to use this to fill in my sparse spots and make my brows darker. It’s formulated with vitamin B5, kaolin clay and mineral pigments, which deliver fuller, natural-looking brows sans a flakey or stiff finish," Meraz explained in her story. "The spoolie might look incredibly small, but you’d be amazed with how much product it holds. A little goes a long way, too. I’ve found that I don’t need to press in too much or go over my brows multiple times to get a fuller effect."

Sounds like I need one for my own bag, stat. You too? Luckily, it comes in four shades—Taupe, Light Brown, Dark Brown and Brown Black—so you're likely to find your best brow match. (Psst: Want Lohan-approved lips to match? The star also pulled out one of Merit's Signature lip liners, a must for that blurred, just kissed look.)
