Sometimes when I see photos of when I first began getting into makeup (2ish years ago) I cringe at my old techniques. Thank God for Youtube tutorials. I would never do my brows because the one time I attempted it, with black eyeshadow I might add, it did not look good. But don't worry! I have since upped my eyebrow game immensely and have come to find the perfect products that work for me.
I have discovered that I need three key tools - an eyebrow shade, perfect applicator and a highlight/clean-up product.
The Eyebrow Shade
I love using the E.l.f Eyebrow Kit in Dark to fill in my brows. I've tried pencils, eyeshadows and waxy pens but they just don't compare to my go-to product. The eyebrow kit comes with two products, a wax and an eyeshadow, however I only use the wax. It's somewhat of a 2-in-1 product for me as I find I don't need to set my brows after with a gel because the wax sticks everything down instead.
The Perfect Applicator
I've tried several brushes when doing eyebrows, however none of them compare to my xoBeauty Eyebrow Brush. It has the perfect stiffness to imitate small hairs but is still soft and smooth. The brush hairs are also a good length, making my job easier when apply wax or eyeshadow.
Highlighter/Clean-up Crew
This step of my eyebrow routine is a new addition. After watching endless amazing beauty gurus on Youtube I decided I would try this little technique of using a cover-up product to highlight and define my brows. I've been using the MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter in Light Boost. This has upped my eyebrow game like crazy. I love them after I define them with this product. The yellow is the perfect colour and works perfectly as I use it to highlight areas on my face as well. It blends out perfectly whether you're using a brush or your finger.

How good is your eyebrow game? What do you use?
I'm loving your Flawless series! Made me think about trying foundation application in sections, no matter how time consuming it would be, just to get a flawless coverage! x
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is pretty time consuming so I don't do it all the time but it does work :)
