Brows, Brows, Brows!

Let's talk eyebrows!
 
 
 
One of the top questions I always get,"How do you do your brows?!". Its pretty simple really, but I'll be the first to admit it took a LOT of trial and error. I've had super thing brows, super thick brows and now I'm finally at a happy median. Let's get started in this step my step process that will change your brows for the better! :)
 
 
1. Get all your products together!
As you see, I have my gel liner, angled brush, eye brow brush (as I like to call it), tweezers and concealer for clean up! You don't have to use these exact products, if your starting out I actually recommend using eye shadow (yes, eye shadow!) to fill them it. It's much lighter and forgiving when your first starting out. I started filling mine it with "Buck" from the Urban Decay Naked Palette.
 
 
 
2. Groom those brows!
The biggest part of filling in your brows, is making sure they are groomed! Stray hairs and regrowth should be gone to assure a polished look. It is also best to follow the natural shape of your eye brow, I feel that it looks more natural. I do outline mine a bit to make them a bit bigger at the front, but that's just personal preference :) Long story short, tweeze those babies and brush them out! Also, ignore my horrible eye area lol, I don't have on a  swipe of make up yet lol!

Brush those suckers out!
 
 
3. Filling in your brows

 First and foremost, get some product on your angled brush, not too much! You can also go back and get more! You want to start at the front of your brown and make light, fast strokes that follow the natural shape of your brow. DO NOT "color" in for brows. You'll look like Bert from Sesame Street and nobody wants that! Once you've got the shape and look you want, brush them out again! This will distribute the product more evenly and give a more natural look :)


 
 

 
 
 
4. Clean up
Now let's clean up around the brow, for that polished look. I don't always do this, especially if I'm being lazy or I'm running late, but it does make it look nice. What you want to do, is take concealer (I used my Maybelline one but I suggest using one with a wand) and dot some aro9nd the top, underneath, and on the side of the front then blend it out with your finger by pressing and tapping, DON'T RUB! You'll make a hot mess!
 


 
 
 
 

 
Annnnd TADA! You're done! I hope this helped anyone that had questions. If not feel free to ask me, and I'll answer the best I can! Stay Pretty, make up junkies! :)
