What's the first thing you notice when you look at someone. I have a tendency to always look at their brows! I don't know how many others do the same but if someone's got a mono-brow I really want to grab a pair of tweezers and start plucking their eyebrows. Well I wish I could do that but I would probably get punched in the face for doing so. A few years ago everyone was into very thin eyebrows but now it's all changed, girl's nowadays are growing their eyebrows thicker. The shape of the brows and the thickness can drastically change the appearance of someone's eyes. Therefore, you have to ensure you get your eyebrows done correctly, or else you're doomed!!
Now let me give you the correct technique on how to shape your brows by answering some common question women have on how to shape eyebrows:
How do you determine where your eyebrow should start from? Well the beginning of the brow should be aligned with the centre of the nostril and the inner corner of your eye. You could use a ruler or any type of card to measure with.
How do I create an Arch? The arch should fall over the back third of the eye. Use a white pencil to draw where the arch should be, look straight ahead and place a card at the edge of your nose and tilt it towards the iris.
Where does the eyebrow end? The outer corner edge of your eyes and the edge of your nose.
Which direction should I brush the hairs? If you have a brow bush you could use this to brush the hairs in an upwards direction or you could also use an old toothbrush. If you have any hairs that are too long you can trim these by using eyebrow scissors.
How light or dark should my eyebrows be? The colour should be a shade lighter than your hair colour if you have dark hair. If you have light hair then the shade needs to be a shade darker.
If you're eyebrows are misshaped or lack in certain areas, then they may need to be corrected for an inconsistent appearance. If you need to enhance you're eyebrows then you should use an eyebrow pencil and if you wish just to add colour, then use any eyebrow powder. You can use a brow gel to hold the hairs in place.
I recently purchased the Browgal starter set which includes 2 eyebrow pencils (1 warm and 1 ash tone) and highlightter and a clear eyebrow gel to set and seal. I don't usually use brow pencils but I absolutely loved the final finish after using this set. As you can see in the image, my eyebrows don't harsh like they would look after using other brow pencils. The price for this set is $75. Get yours now:
What can I say about the Gerard Cosmetics Hydra-Matte liquid lipstick...it's impeccable. The quality is in the formula, the consistency is very creamy and the coverage is brilliant. The best advantage is that you only need one coat so your lipstick will last you for longer. Once it dries it doesn't feel like you have anything on your lips as it's super smooth. It's very long lasting and your lips stay hydrated if you apply a lip balm prior to applying your lipstick. One more thing, it smells amazing compared to other brands I've tried!
