EyeBrows! Finally

                                                                                           I have been having a hard time filling in my eyebrows and trying to find products. I have used a lot of different products before and none of them seem to match the color of my eyebrows maybe I'm just really bad at picking the right colors for my eyebrows. Some are just too light and some are to dark and some are just way off they don't even match in anyway possible. I'm here to help you and say that it is okay to mix colors if you're just having no luck in the stores finding the right colors for your eyebrows. What I use is my BH Cosmetics angle brush and I use 2 colors I use the brown from this Almay trio palette. I'm sorry to say but I do not know the name of this palette I've had it for a really long time and it's just a trio palette with a silver, a grey, and a light brown. I mix the brown from the trio palette with this is cool grey brown from The Vice palette called desperation ( Urban Decay). I mix these two colors together and it just creates the perfect brown for my eyebrows it's not too dark and it's not too light just perfect. One thing I don't like about this is that it has a bit of shimmer to it. These two colors are both frost shadows and so when my eyebrows hit the light you can see them sparkle a little bit and I'm not a real big fan of it. But it is the right color so this is just temporary until I could find a color that's the same as these two colors combined without frost. I did mention in my favorites video of 2012 that I liked the Shiseido pencil for eyebrows but I realized it was way too light for my eyebrows.
      Now for some beauty tips on grooming your eyebrows. You're going to need cuticle scissors, tweezers, and a little eyebrow razor. Take any pencil or eyeshadow brush anything really you're just going to need it to line it with your nose to find out where your eyebrows start and where it ends. Let's get started take your pencil or eyeshadow brush and line at the edge of your nose and also the inner corner of your eye this will depict where your eyebrows start anything that is on the opposite side of your pencil or brush must be shaved off. To find where your arch should be once again line your pencil or brush at the edge of your nose and across your pupil wherever your brush is that's where are you should be tweeze any excess hair that is there or shave of the hair. Now to find where your eyebrows should end take your pencil or brush again line it with the edge of your nose and to the outer corner of your eye wherever your brush lands that's where your eyebrow should end anything that's passed the brush needs to be shaved off or plucked. I forgot to mention that you would need a eyebrow comb. For the next step of brow grooming take your eyebrow comb and brush all your hair upwards anything that's passing your natural eyebrow line take your cuticle scissors and cut it off. Do this throughout your entire eyebrow. On the same eyebrow take your eyebrow comb and brush your hair downwards anything that's beneath your natural eyebrow line needs to be cut off. The reason why you need to take this last is because by trimming your eyebrow hairs it thins out your eyebrows so it doesn't look as thick. This is an extra beauty tip if your face is thinner and you have more contoured features then you want to round out your eyebrows. But if you have more of a round face and you don't have a lot of contoured features then you want to have more of a higher arch in your brow meaning you want more of an angular brow. These little tricks will just cancel out each other.


Have an Eyerbowlicious Day!!
