Okay these sorts of post don’t happen very often because quite honestly I am not a beauty blogger and you all probably know this so if you do click next post. However fashion is so far left field for me I wouldn’t even know what court I’m on, but I know the basics. I know what works and what doesn’t I have learnt through some serious fashion mistakes that were captured on good old photographic paper what not to do again.
So let’s talk eyebrows. Shaped right they can take YEARS off your face but this isn’t how to shape your brows I leave that to my professional.
I have good brows I used to hate them but as I grew older I saw the beauty in them they made me look okay. I never plucked them, shaped them only and so they have served me well until I had babies. After all the babies and the hormones I realised that my brows weren’t as ‘tada’ as usual and of all the features on my wee face I could count on it was my brows. What I didn’t realise was that as we age not only do we get grey hairs in our brows but our eyebrows and lashes thin. Hormones and ageing suck seriously!
So it was at that point that I not only got my eyelashes tinted but my brows too and it made me look more ‘youthful’ however it didn’t help with the thinning of them and I tried the whole eyebrow pencil and shadow thing and I didn’t like it. I ended up looking like a drag queen. Now you can get brow implants but I don’t have the time or money to justify that or you can try some brow mascara.
It feels so ridiculous talking about this but it made me feel a little straighter and little springier and so I’m sharing it with you.
So while getting ready for work with my Maybelline lash expander in hand I looked at my brows and I thought I will just put some on my brows and rather than looking like I had a hairy caterpillar crawling across my forehead I looked rather fetching. My brows became fuller looking? Now I am fortunate that my brows are the black of my mascara but I went out and looked for the ‘proper’ stuff and was able to purchase it from Target (I got brow drama) but you can also order online from Strawberry Net here. You can also buy it from ASOS.com and Chemist Direct.
The trick to applying is small light strokes. Don’t get to heavy handed otherwise it looks patchy and like you have painted something rather revolting through your brows but it’s like all things with makeup it takes practise.
So my friends, that’s my makeup tip for you.
