How I fill in my eyebrows


This is the second part to my eyebrow post. I already covered how to groom your eyebrows. CHECK IT OUT This post is all about how I fill them in but keep them natural looking.


 For tools and products I use the Elf wet gloss grow gel. This is only $1 and works amazing. 



I also use Naked from the Urban Decay Naked palette. If you own this and don't know what color to use on your brows try this. I have seen so many people with different hair/skin/brows colors. Its a really universally flattering product. (As you can see I use the crap out of my Naked palette) 

I really like the Elf concealer brush. I know it seems weird but its so small and comes to a rounded tip which makes it perfect. I also use one of those eye brow brush/comb thing. 
I don't know this brand and really any one will work fine. 






First I comb through and get all the hairs in place using the brow brush.
 I use brow gel first. I know most people use this to set their brows but it still works if you do it in this order. Actually it works better if you do it this way.
I start from the center making one vertical line where I want my brows to start.
Next I turn my brush and start working sideways
I move through my entire brow. I also dip back into the shadow a few times. Make sure to wipe off your brush each time thought because the wet gel can ruin your shadow.
I bring shadow all the way to the end of my brow.
Make sure to use short strokes and make sure every part of the brow is filled in.
When filling in your brows, use a mirror that's further away. This is my best tip for getting natural looking brows. Sitting up close can cause you to fill in every little spot which looks good until you stand further away and realize that you have just colored on your brows and made them look horrible.





I hope you all enjoyed this little guide.

How to groom your eyebrows at home

I love good eyebrows but I hate the look of super drawn on and over filled on brows that seems to be more and more popular now. I've found the perfect way to fill mine in but keep them looking natural. This is going to be a two part post. This part will be about how I keep mine in shape and the other will be all about how I fill them in.

 First I use tweezers and pull those small hairs that grow way under my brows. The trick to this is to pull out only hairs that are completely off from your natural brow shape. Also don't use a magnifying mirror or sit too close to your normal one. You don't need to have them look perfect close up. This is how people tend to pluck their brows into having only 4 hairs left. I do this about once a week or so.
Next I use an eyebrow razor. You can find these in packs at the drugstore. you wants to hold it horizontally then slide it down. This allows you to remove a lot of hair at once. I find this is the fastest and easiest way to take care of the uni-brow area.


I don't trim mine with a scissor. I find this removes too much hair. You can find out how I actually fill in my brows here
