Helloooo~
Today I'm going to talk about eyebrows. They are my current obsession right now O_O
I've learned in school that eyebrows is the MAKE or BREAK--meaning you have to have a spot on eyebrows to make a look.
Brows are also very important because they frame the eyes and face :) if your brows are properly done well. you can look young looking and well-groomed(even if you don't have much make up on)
I think that every girl should know how to groom and style their own brows because it really makes a difference on the face. Thin and droopy brows can really make you old, while full on brows can make you young.
OVERVIEW on brow grooming and filling
-----------------------
BROW GROOMING:
OK here are the tools/steps for grooming
TOOLS:
1.) tweezers
2.) brow shaver
3.) small scissors for trimming
How to do it.
well it's really subjective, But I can say that there are a lot of videos in YOUTUBE available.
Michelle Phan has one and that's the one I followed through. I'll do a video of anyone of you will request it.
BUT really there are tons in Youtube, Just find something that will really fit your style.
BUT for your information you can look at this picture

1.) get a long skinny brussh or pencil and place it along the side of the nose. That is where your brows should begin
2.) tilt your brush and angle it to where your pupils are. That should determine your arch
3.) tilt it again to the end of eye. that is where your brow ends.
4.) connect the dots and you'll have a shape.
-----------------------
FILLING IT IN
ok. from here it's a different story.
TOOLS: (can either be)
1.) brow pencil
2.) brow powder
3.) brow set/ gel
4.) stencils ( if you cant really get it )
How to do it.
AGAIN there are also a lot of tutorials in Youtube for you. I'll do a video upon request.

TIP portion
1.) when choosing a brow pencil/powder use an ASHY shade, meaning it's neutral. not to red, not to blue or yellow. I find that Ever Bilena and Nichido's brow pencil really RED toned these are not good because it looks unnatural.
2.) if your hair is dark. Pick a color 1-2 shades lighter than your hair color (I have black hair, so I pick a dark brown), if you have Lighter hair, use a 1-2 shades darker than your hair color.
3.) Fill your brows in a HAIR like motion so that it looks natural
4.) if you want a slimmer nose bridge, extend the front part of the brows. this will give an illusion of a slimmer nose line.
5.) arch your brows for an instant lift in the eye, highlight it with a light-toned concealer for an instant eye-lifting effect.
6.) always pluck your brows in the direction of the hair growth. so that the hairs won't grow the opposite way.
7.) Treat brows like sisters. They don't have to be OVERLY symmetrical, but they do have to be similar.
what I use:
 |
| mah tools |
1.) milani brow fix
2.) Fanny serrano brow cake (which I really LOVE)
3.) AVON brow liner in dark brown F103 ( my current love )

| when opened :D |
I've struggled with my brows myself (and also other people). I nearly shaved my arch because they were too different. Before, someone almost shaved my whole eyebrows because they didn't have the right shape. T_T
I have very different eyebrows before:

| my super unsymmetrical brows |
brows after plucking, shaving, and filling them in:

| yeah brows! did this with the avon pencil <3 |
