Oh Eyebrows how we adore and hate you at the same time.
Eyebrows is what we all spend the most time on when doing our makeup, I no myself I can send up to 10 - 15 minutes on my brows and that is on a good day. They frustrate the hell out of me especially when you cant get the other twin sister to look the same. But oh when them girls or on fleek they make the rest of your face look like a dream.
So there is many different products you can use for your brows, ranging from pencils to dip pomade, but its to your preference what you prefer to use, then it ranges from different brands, every makeup brand have eyebrow products and again its what brand you prefer and can afford to buy.
Then some people including myself like to re- shape and tidy up my brows once I have them filled in and to do that I like to use a pencil or concealer.
See below for my list of favorite's, how to use them and where to purchase them:
Anastasia Beverly Hills:
The Queen of Eyebrows, lets take a minute to appreciate this lady ( Pause for a moment... lol)
Two main products from this brand which are my ultimate fav,
- Brow Definer in Soft Brown:
This is a triangular pencil which fits perfectly in order to fill in the eyebrow due to the shape, the way I use this pencil is I Start of first outlining my brow with the sharpest part of the pencil and then I Fill the brow in using the back side of the pencil creating hair like strokes.
- Dipbrow Pomade in Soft Brown
This is a thick creamy like substance which is waterproof and fast drying, I use this by again firstly drawing the outline of my brow first and than filling it in with a light hand, going heavy at the middle and end of the brow and easing into a softer motion at the top of the brow.
Mac Cosmetics:
Mac never disappoint with any of their products and their brow products are just as amazing as ABH,
- Mac's Fluidline in Deep Dark Brunette
Guys this is just like the ABH dipbrow pomade only difference is that the formula is a bit more drying than the ABH but is still amazing, again I use this by firstly drawing the outline of my brow first and then filling it in with a light hand, going heavy at the middle and end of the brow and easing into a softer motion at the top of the brow.
Cleaning up the brow, reshaping after been filled in & HD Look:
NYX Cosmetics:
- NXY Wonder Pencil
This is a great product, its just like a conceal in pencil form, I use it to reshape my brow to how I want to look after I have them filled in, I Just simply trace the shape above and below my brow and soften it down with a flat eyeshadow brow like a MAC 212 or the tip of a beauty blender and also its a great way to clean up any mistake which were made when drawing on the brow and for making the brow stand out giving it the HD look.
MAC Cosmetics:
Pro Longwear Concealer:
One of Mac's Best known products, I use it for the exact same thing as the NYX pencil I grab a flat eye shadow brush, dip it into the product, now you only need a small amount as this product is thick and creamy it goes along way, and I trace it above and below my brow to reshape, tidy up and give the HD effect.
Once I have the brows on fleek I use the benefit gimmie brow just to finish them off and set in place and than you will be rocking a beautiful set of twins on your face.
