All About Those Brows!

t's no surprise that I have thick eyebrows. In fact, they are one of my favorite features on my
face. I've had many people ask what I use, how I get them so thick, and how to get them to look
like mine! If you don't follow fashion, that's your first mistake. Truthfully, big brows are in
whether you like them or not. The trick to getting a thick brow is simple: make-up! When I first
started doing my eyebrows, my friends, Kelsey and Travis laughed at me because they felt my
brows didn't look natural and needed major fixing (they are beauticians so they knew what they
were talking about). I started to focus more and more on my eyebrows and really tried to figure
out what I was missing to give them more of a natural look. I first started with an eyebrow pen
(dark brown) which I almost never touch anymore unless I need a quick touch-up, then moved
on to eyebrow powder. I searched high and wide for the top-of-the-line eyebrow make-up powder. I was introduced to many different brands which can be found at high-end make-up stores
in any mall. When looking for a top-of-the-line powder, you want to make sure you get something that is really pigmented because you won't have to use as much and it will last you longer
while giving you a more dramatic, chic look that high fashion always strives for. You can find a
cheaper powder that may do the trick but if you want something that will last you long and do a
wonderful job, you will need to spend a few bucks. Not only is
the powder important, but the brush you use is very essential
to your brows. You want to make sure to find a very sharp
angle brush (most make-up stores in malls will have good
ones) because this will give you the shape of a real brow if
done correctly. If you want to do quick touch-ups on your
brows, use a pen with the same shade as your powder. Keep in
mind that your eyebrows are typically a different color than
your actual hair color, so find a shade that works for you!
