Hello Ladies!
Recently I have become obsessed with one area of my make up application and that has been my brows. I have recently been loving a nice strong brow (nothing too OTT) and I thought I would share with you the products I have been using to achieve this.
Firstly to keep my brows maintained I have recently gotten back into threading. I find its the longest lasting hair removal and while it does hurt it is definitely a bare-able pain and nothing compared to waxing! But we all get those annoying little strays in between appointments so to get rid of them I have my beloved tweezers that I randomly picked up years ago in a little chemist. I would honestly be lost without my tweezers (I actually thought I lost them a few weeks ago and was genuinely devastated!)
On a day to day basis I would fill them in slightly using a mixture of Omega (the lighter shade) and Espresso (the darker shade) using a Louise Young LY31 brush. I picked this up while I was in London a few months back and haven't looked back since. The bristles are just the right length and density, and they place the right amount of product on your brows. If you are considering trying this brush I would completely recommend it! Once I have my eyebrows filled in I set them in place using the new Maybelline Brow Drama Brow Mascara in Medium Brown. The wand on this brow gel has a really unusual shape, at the top there is a circle which you are initially meant to run through your brows to get them in shape and use the end bit to tidy up abit. It does give a small bit of colour while setting your brows firmly in place- and I mean firmly!
Those are the everyday tools and products I use to keep my eyebrows looking maintained and (reasonably) under control! What do you use on your brows? Have you tried threading before?
I love the mace ball wand of the brow gel!
ReplyDeleteIt's so unusual!:D xx
DeleteI normally use the HD brows palette but i have just bought Espresso initally to go into my quad but may try using it on my brows and see how it goes!

Oooh definitely give it a go lovely! I hope you like it!:D xx
DeleteI love all things brow so loved your post. My brow routine is basically the same as yours - threading and maintaining myself between by tweezing strays and enhancing the shape with either powder or pencil. I love threading, can be painful at times but gives the most amazing finish. Aimee xx

And it really does last for ages!:D xx
DeleteOooh I like the look of the brow gel! I find if I use eyeshadows for my brows it makes them look tooo harsh for me but I love MAC's eyebrow pencils :) xx
ReplyDeleteOooh I'll have to have a look at them, I've never tried any! xx
DeleteThat brow gel looks super interesting!
ReplyDeleteI use espresso on my brows as well :)

Awh thanks hun!:D xx
DeleteI haven't tried threading, I pluck them myself with this pair of really, really sharp tweezers - I've cried many a time when I thought I lost them! They were only cheap in a chemist in Galway but they're an absolute godsend, they pick up even the tiniest dot of a hair. I use a similar brush and a dark brown shade from an MUA palette x
ReplyDeleteHaha I love how we get so emotionally attached to tweezers! xx
