Eyebrows on Fleek; The Products

Everyday I put something on my eyebrows as they deserve as much attention as the rest of your face.  I have slowly been collecting new products for my brows that I need to share.  I started with just a matte brown eye shadow but nowadays you need a bit more oomph and definition.


I have 3 eyebrow pencils in a range of prices and one brow kit in my collection.  So whatever you budget, I've got you covered.


Above, first of all is the Primark, P.S Loves Brow Pencil that is sharpen able and has a decent spooley brush on the other end.  At £1 this is an absolute bargain and I use the colour medium everyday in the week as it doesn't require much precision.  I usually draw on a few rough strokes and the brush on the other end blurs any sharp edges so that you haven't got harsh lines.

Next along is my newest product, the Maybelline Brow Satin £5.99, which is thinner and is twist up with a smaller nib.  The other end has a dome sponge applicator and brown powder in the lid which softens the look once applied.  I love this one as it is a subtler colour with my blonde hair and it is very similar the ABH brow wiz.


Finally we have the Anistasia Beverley Hills Brow Wiz which I paid €22 for a while ago and the delicate brow spooley on the other end has snapped off which is annoying.  So once I have draw on fine lines with the micro nib in medium, I have to use a seperate brow brush to remove excess product.  It does give a really defined brow which is perfect for a night out.

The below brow kit is from MUA and I was given this as a gift in the shade Fair to Mid.  You can pick this up from Superdrug for £3.50.  I like this because it has all the tools you need including a brow wax to set your colour and style in place.  When mixing the two top colours this matched my natural brow colour and the lighter shade can be used as a highlighter on the brow bone.


I hope this is helpful in picking out your brow products and if there is anything you think I should try, let me know.

How To Shape Your Own Eyebrows

A lot of people compliment me on my eyebrows and wonder where I get them done or how I keep them looking good.  Truth be told I just do what I've always done; just some plucking when it's needed.

Here I will just give to some tips to keep your brows looking good.

1) Never over pluck your brows, it's not the 90s anymore
2) Use a make up brush against your nose to determine the length you brows should be
3) Get some good precise tweezers, this avoids pain and frustration
4) Only pluck hairs from under your brows and the occasional long hair from the outer sides
See small hairs below and central sparseness that will be filled in
5) Try to pluck hairs that are out of the natural line of hairs
6) Brush the hairs back and trim the long ones to keep them neat
7) Use wax, pencil or shadow to finish the look



Below are some of the products I use;
  • Anastasia Beverly Hills BrowWiz or any of their eyebrow products.
  • Primark eyebrow pencil £1
  • MUA Brow Kit
  • Any Matt brown eyeshadow that matches your brow hair and a thin brush to get between hairs.

The main aim is to fill in any gaps in your brows with a bit of colour that matches and looks natural.
