What I use for my eyebrows!

 

For me when I first instantly meet someone the first thing I look at are their brows. This is just because I am obsessed with eyebrows, as I really think they shape and define someones face. Just look at some of these celebrities without eyebrows, and you can really see how much difference there is. 


In this post today, I will be sharing with you my eyebrow routine. 
I have nothing fancy done to my brows, no threading, no HD brows or anything of the kind, because I just don't have the money or courage to get them done. When I was on my beauty course I would get them waxed nearly every 2 weeks. But since then I have just stuck to the simple and easy self plucking. The reason I play it safe with this is because it's just so efficient, and obviously a pair of tweezers are nothing on the price of getting your eyebrows professionally waxed or threaded. As well as this reason, plucking also allows you to pull out every single hair, even the stubborn ones, which waxing tends to not. 

        A few years ago as far as eyebrows went it was all about eyebrow pencils for me. The Rimmel, or the MUA ones were a typical favorite of mine. Although there is nothing wrong with brow pencils, I have upped my brow game since then and after watching numerous Tanya Burr tutorials on YouTube I have since then discovered the art of brushes and powder. This way of filling my brows for me, gives my brows a more softer, less 'drawn on' effect, allowing you also to still see your visible brow hairs. I prefer this natural yet still groomed look, as it frames the face elegantly and put together. 

        The particular brush I use is the 208 angled brow brush from MAC, this is made out of real animal hair which therefore is more gentle on the brows. I could not live without this brush as it is just amazing. I also use it to line my eyes with black powder too as liner. The powder I use for filling in my brows is also MAC. I got matched to the 'Charcoal Brown' shade, which is apparently great for anyone with auburn to dark brown hair. I hear that the majority of blondes tend to get matched to 'Omega'. However I would suggest to pop in your local store yourself to get matched just to be sure you get the right shade. There's nothing worse than getting a brow colour darker or lighter than your actual hair. After this I also then use a clear brow gel just to set my brows and keep all the hairs in place. These are my brows after using these products I have mentioned :)
