Brows!

Everyone uses different brow filling methods - some swear soley by pencils, while others prefer brow powders. You may even prefer a cream product (such as a brown cream liner) or a brow-marker (such asMilani Brow Tint Pen). I love switching up products all of the time, so my brow routine changes often. Im going to go through one way I fill in my brows using both an eyebrow pencil and an eyebrow powder.

Dont feel the need to go run out and purchase a brow powder - Any matte brown eyeshadow similar to your hair color will do. Although we all favor and thrive for eyeshadows with lots of pigment, we dont necessarily look for the same in our brow products because we want our brows to look to look natural. So, finding an inexpensive shadow at the drugstore should be a sinch. And, if you dont own an eyebrow pencil, you can use a brown eyeliner - but dont apply it straight on as it can look too intense for your brows. Scribble on the back of your hand, and run your brush through the product for a more natural look (or you can just lightly rub your brush across the tip of the pencil). 

I dont always use both products, but I like combining both because the pencil yields a very precise, clean line, whereas the brow powder gives a softer, more natural diffused line. The result is a very clean and precise brow, yet its not as clean/chiseled as it would be if only a pencil was used.


Here are some of the things you use on/for your eyebrows:


Now for my eye brows!
Im going to make them darker than I usually would so you can see it better! So, starting off, I use one of my favorite eyebrow pencils to draw out the shape I want for my eyebrows and then slightly filling them in. 
My eye brow on the left side is drawn in and on the right it is not

Next, using a spoolie, Im just blending the color on my brows making sure it looks natural and not drawn on. Also, making sure my brows are all going one direction. 

Here is a before and after! on the left, my eyebrows are not as dark and shaped like my brows on the right. Now there is not much of a difference but thats okay because its suppose to look natural not fake. 

Now what is your opinion on your eyebrows? Do you think they make or break you? If they break you then do you fill them in?
