DON’T GET BROW-BEATEN !

                                                                                                                                                                    

 I thought I would share some of my favourite items that I use that can make your eyebrows look great. Eyebrows done in the right shape can make such a difference, even help give you a real lift. There are some really  easy and affordable items out there and below is a list I hope you may find helpful,                         

This make-up mirror from boots no7 is one of the best I have had, it’s really magnified, and lights up. This is the best thing for plucking your eyebrows or checking for stray hairs. It makes such a           difference if you can see them so much more clearly, and great if your eyesight isn’t great.              

If you pluck your own eyebrows, that’s great, but there are many of us that prefer to get them done professionally. Waxing is very quick, advise :Threading takes longer but you will get a much more sharper finish advice: If you go anywhere to get your eyebrows waxed or threaded, make sure the therapist is very aware of the shape you desire, take some pictures of eyebrows you like the shape of, so they know what type of the desired effect you want. Any decent therapist will advise you if your not sure which type of shape will suit you.

A really good pair of tweezers are important, Tweezerman is great, you can get them slanted or rounded, They will grab the finest of hairs.

Eyebrow Tinting can be a saviour. Especially if your eyebrows are grey or sparse. Eyebrow tinting thickens the hair. The most important thing beforehand is to make sure you are not sensitive to the dye. I recommend this is done professionally in a salon, it is not expensive and only takes about twenty minutes in all. Make sure you tell the therapist what desired colour you want, natural or dark, depending what your hair colour is, ask for their advice, shades can be mixed together. But if you go to a different salon, make sure you are sensitive checked again. They do not all use the same brand.

You can buy your own eyebrow tint kit, invite a friend round and do each others. You can buy the kit as shown above in most beauty retailers. Remember to check your not sensitive.                           

Eyebrow stencils are a handy little gadget to have in your makeup bag, you can find these in most beauty suppliers. You can use these to create the shape you want your eyebrow to be and then pluck them into shape. You can also place them onto your eyebrow and use eyebrow shadow. They really give a defined shape, make sure you use the right shade. For Blonde, grey looks great, yes grey! try it and see!.                                                                                                                                                Eyebrow powder like the one pictured above is great to use with the stencils mentioned above. It’s thicker than eyeshadow and feels a little waxy. It will stay in place and not wear off until you cleanse it off. There are many different brands out there, have a look on Amazon and search eyebrow stencils, the powder will be on the same page. Bobbi    Brown also do a great little eyebrow kit as do HD Brows and Hi Brow

                                                                    Hi Brow kit

HD Brow kit

  The Hi Brow kit is great value because you get the stencils added in its little kit. But for the Rolls Royce of eyebrows try getting the full works at a salon with HD Brows. at a salon, they will       thread, tint, and finish your brows to perfection                                                                             

        

                                                     

Last on my list is Eyebrow fix, like a clear mascara, brush this over your finished brows and they will stay in place. You can buy this from The Body Shop or Sally online beauty retailers.              

                                           I hope you have found any of these ideas helpful
