Wow brows.

Okay so I have this thing for full-grown-well-defined-perfect-eyebrows just because I wasn't blessed with that and I totally envy those girls who effortlessly have it. Thank your Mom and Dad for those genes hunn!! In other words, my eyebrows are such a huge mess that I cannot leave the house without an eyebrow makeup or else I'd end up looking like a predator from that Arnold Schwarzeneger movie. Hahaha! I don't even know how the heck I survived my adolescent years when we were not even to touch cosmetics especially in an upright Catholic school. Ha! I cringe just by looking at my teenage photos. Hahaha no but seriously I'm a sucker for beautiful eyebrows. If only I can have this done. Like, is there an eyebrow job or something? Haha That didn't sound right. So anyway, that's why I've tried different kinds of eyebrow makeup you can ever imagine.. well, almost. Here's a step by step photo of how I usually do (or shall I say --fake) my eyebrows on a daily basis.

So here I used Etude House's Perfect Brow Kit. It's a small pack (just about almost 3/4 of my Itouch4) and it's very handy. Plus, it comes with 2 useful brushes, one is to define the eyebrows while on the other end of it is a much 'loose' brush used for the highlighter. The other brush is.. basically just for brushing the eyebrows before you do the magic. So yea, it costs around P400+ I think, and I've been using it for a month (almost everyday) already and it doesnt seem like i've used it that much yet! So I must say that the price is really worthy for something as usual as this. Btw, I decided to use the darker shade on the right most side, while the lightest shade on the left side is the highlighter which is if you look at it closely, it actually sparkles. It cannot be seen on the photo though. But believe me when I say so. Hahaha :)

So here goes my mini tutorial on how I do my everyday/on-the-go eyebrows for work.

Let's start with my bare face (let's just focus on my eyebrows please, cos my eyes looks weird here. Haha!) I wasnt able to take a photo but I brushed it first with the one that looks like a mini spring and it's just for getting things started and getting rid of unnecessary dirt etc. JSYK.

My fugly eyebrows. Bow.

Now, using the harder brush I defined my eyebrows and started parallel to my tear duct. I know, i know.. it kindda look like an obvious drawing at first but just wait till it's done okay. :)

Just continue up to the arc and sortta stop right there...

 Then move downwards, but this time with a much thinner slide. You get what I'm saying? (cos i honestly don't. Please bear with me. Haha)

Ofcourse make sure that you brush it again with the spring-like thingy until it looks natural and not really 'made-up'. Then do the same to your other eyebrows. (You can already see the difference in this photo.)

 

Now, we will use the highlighter with the much softer/"loose" end of that brush.

Blend it accordingly just below the arc of your eyebrows so that it will "highlight" your arcwork. Well, it's not called a highlighter for nothing!! 

And there goes my babyyyyyyyy. I know, it's quite tricky but we all go through baby steps, right? All it takes is loads of patience for beginners, lots and lots and lots of it. :) -A

THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL AN EYEBROW. K? :)
