Because we all have eyebrows..

 ..some just more plentiful than others.

Okay so checking the history of my blog, it hasn’t really turned out like what I expected it to be, I originally loved the idea of putting my thoughts out there but more makeup and beauty focused.

Since that idea kind of failed, I just, I get really side tracked okay. Sad face. Life just happens and problems, drama, I’m not going to lie people do some really weird things and I just can’t help but blog about it and things that I find funny or cool or weird it all goes up nowadays. (I mean come on I just introduced a series called the tea diaries, talk about being side tracked)

But it’s okay, I’m happy either way but to try and get some makeup and beauty related stuff back into my blog here’s a little tip I came up with the other day.

So for myself post makeup I like to call it when I didn’t know anything but slapping on foundation for that flawless look, that’s all I would really do. Foundation, some mascara and eyeliner going on and that’s it. No blush, no contouring just whatever was really quick and easy to do. Now that I know a bit more, well A LOT more my makeup application is more structured.

I don’t know how many of you out there fill in your eyebrows, I for one never use to do it because I didn’t think I needed to, my eyebrows held out a pretty good shape.

Okay so there are the brow pencils that people use or you can just use some eye shadow.  I prefer using eye shadow the only downside is it doesn’t last all day, we’re all about foundation needing to last a good while but what about your eyebrows especially if you’ve applied something there already.

So when you’re brushing some shadow through your brows, here are some tips:

-        After you put on your foundation be it with a brush or wedge, brush some of that foundation over your eyebrows. This will help the shadow to stick onto something and for you to get that stronger, fuller brow look that is so in right now.

-        Or, brush over your brows with your foundation and apply some clear brow gel, (I use The Body Shop brow & lash gel) over the hairs of your brows. This helps to comb your brows through and sets them in place. You’ll find that the gel is a little bit sticky, so brush through some shadow through your brows to fill in any gaps or extend them that little bit more. You’ll find that the shadow lasts that much longer than it would if you didn’t apply any foundation or brow gel there.

-        Or you can always get yourself a brow mascara, they come in heaps of colours, but I like doing it the other ways, it makes makeup more fun.

And PLEASE remember, if you’re brushing shadow through your brows, comb it out! It helps to spread that shadow through your brows evenly and looks a lot more natural without people looking at you like what is going on with your overdrawn eyebrows.

What a brow thing to do

Have you ever looked at a friend’s face and thought, something’s different. You’re not too sure what it is, but they look different? I’ve always been one to spot the changes my friends make to themselves, all the way from their hair to the type of clothing they wear.

One thing that can completely change the way your face looks will surprise you. Believe it or not having the correct brow shape can do wonders for your overall look.  Think about it, when you see somebody with eyebrows that are very thin, highly arched like they have two semicircles sitting on top of their browbone, you stand back in amazement because you can’t focus on any other feature but their brows. They could have the most amazing eyes you have ever seen but your attention is drawn to those semicircles above.

We all have different face shapes and that’s why it’s important to get your brows done by somebody who knows what they’re doing, we can’t all have EXACTLY the same brow shape as our faces aren’t structured the same way. It might sound simple but we all make mistakes, even I do, I’ve had my fair share of overplucked brows with a very high arch.

Having the correct brow helps to frame your eyes and give your face definition, shaping them in a particular way such as having a very high arch right in the middle of the eye, can make you appear angry when you’re not. After all our eyebrows help us to show our expression like when we’re shocked or worried.
