My Eyebrow Routine
16.9.15
A long time ago I did my "Eyebrow Tutorial" on YouTube, and quite frankly, it's very outdated. I used to go for a slightly more natural look, but now I prefer defining and intensifying my brows.
STEP 1
I always start by combing my eyebrows with a spoolie brush, that helps me visualize where I need to concentrate most of the product. You need to know what you're working with!
STEP 2
To fill in the sparse areas I use the Urban Decay Blackout eyeshadow. Mine is from the Naked2 palette, but they also sell it as a single. I tried using dark brown products before and it never matched my eyebrow color. Using a black eyeshadow can be very scary, specially because of how easy it is to get carried away and end up looking like you used a Sharpie. Keep in mind, I barely touch the product. When I'm done filling it in, I use the spoolie, once again, to blend any harsh lines.
STEP 3
Finally, I love using my MAC Pro Longwear Waterproof Brow Set in Brown Ebony to keep my brows in place. Besides, this is a dark brown gel, which adds a lighter tint to the hairs.

I recently got the Naked Smoky but for some reason I never thought to use an eyeshadow to fill in my brows! Great post though, it was interesting to read :D

Thank you! I love using eyeshadows for contour and highlight as well! It's all about being creative ;D
DeleteI definitely want a smoky palette.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried an eyeshadow to fill in my brows- have you tried the new NYX brow products? My favorite is the eyebrow gel.

You should totally get it. It's super versatile! I can't say that I have, but I will definitely check out the eyebrow gel and some of their new products! Thanks for the suggestion!
