ALL ABOUT BROWS

HOW ARE YOU ALL TODAY?

Today is all about brows! How I fill in my brows to add shape and thickness as well as the products I use!

THIS IS AN EYEBROW. It is actually my eyebrow (once I've filled it in)

AND THIS IS MY NATURAL EYEBROW (no product)

I fill in my brows because I want to, I don't like them to be over the top but I do like to add a bit of shape to them and thicken them up a bit. My eyebrows grow back so quickly so I have to pluck them regularly which is always annoying but this is how I fill in my brows...

STEP ONE 

I have used a really light colour at the start of my eyebrow so it acts as a gradient effect rather than a big black brow. Personally, I prefer natural looking brows which is why I use a lighter colour to begin with. I also use a small angled brush to apply this while also using light strokes so it isn't too harsh. 

STEP TWO 

This part is a bit harder because you are outlining the shape of your eyebrow. I draw a line at the bottom of my brow and the top of my brow very lightly until I like the shape and then I darken it up a bit. I then join the two lines together as I reach my arch. I also use a small angled brush to create the shape of my eyebrow. 

STEP THREE 

FILL THAT BROW IN. I have used the same colour as the colour I used when I shaped my brow (previous step if you forgot) and I also used the same angled brush. 

STEP FOUR 

Use a slightly darker colour on the arch and the middle of your brow to darken it up a bit. This will help with the gradient effect I mentioned earlier. 

STEP FIVE

I have used a brow tint from Benefit ('Gimme Brow') to thicken my brow even more but you can skip this step if you want. I have also set my brow with some clear brow mascara. Then I highlighted under my eyebrow with YSL 'Touché Élcat in No.1. This is quite expensive however, so I also have an affordable alternative which is a product I am very familiar with! This is 'Arch De Triumph' by Soap and Glory and you can use the highlighting side of the pencil for your highlight. 

A LIST OF PRODUCTS I USED: 

Collection - 'Work the Colour' Eyebrow Kit

Benefit - 'Gimme Brow'

YSL - 'Touché Éclat' in No.1

BROW TALK

Brows are commonly abused when talked about because people are so weird about the whole filling in your brows etc. Brows are brows and if you want to fill them in then go for it! Obviously people will always prefer different brow looks and intensity of brows but I like mine to look natural and not too over the top. Big black brows are NOT my thing at all. Believe me, I tried it once just for a laugh and honestly - I looked so strange! I won't ever do that again...

You always have to remember that it takes time to find what suits you and what looks you prefer, there is no right or wrong answer with makeup because it is all about experimentation! This is the brow look that I prefer and have been working with for ages.

So that is brows for you!

Let me know how you get on with it and if you found my advice helpful!

I have another look coming later on which I'm so excited to show you guys...

Until next time,
