Today I am going to talk to you, all about BROWS!

Filling in your brows became really big not that long ago. When I look back just a couple of years ago, my brows were way too thin and very sparse. Of course at the time no one was really filling them in so don't hold it against me. We have definitely seen the evolution of the brows, the boxy brow, the fade out, the bold brow, the natural brow and much more. I personally go through phases, I mean sometimes you need a bolder brow and sometimes you need a more natural brow. I am going to share with you my absolute favorite brow products and how I maintain my brows..



♡Maintaining The Brows♡

Plucking- I am sure we have all gone way too far when plucking our eyebrows at some point in our life. I personally pluck my eyebrows while using a stencil, so that I don't make that 'over plucking' mistake ever again. This is the cheapest option but it can take a turn for the worst. This can also be more painful than the other two options.




Waxing- There are multiple ways of getting your eyebrows waxed. You can go to a nail salon you trust, there are places that specialize in waxing ( EX: European Wax Center), or you can wax at home. Waxing is using a hot wax to remove hair by the follicle. This I feel is something that can be cheap and very expensive depending on where you go. I personally have gone to my trusted nail salon for years. I have never tried waxing at home just because I am way too chicken.



Threading- This is something I have only tried once and will probably never do it again. I think this is the most painful but I could just be a baby. Threading is a process of removing the hair using a cotton thread to pull the hair from the follicle. I feel like this process takes the longest. I do have friends that enjoy this way more than the other options.



What I Do- I get my brows waxed maybe once or twice a year just to get them shaped. I keep them up by plucking the hair that grows outside of the shape. If I feel like the shape is starting to get wonky I either use a stencil or go get them re-shaped.

♡Brow Products I Love♡

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer - This is the easiest brow tool I have ever used. It takes literally less than 10 mins to do my brows when using this. The shape of the pencil is what makes it simple. I do think this is the best tool for bold brows.



Benefit 3D Brow Tones - This is something I was originally very skeptical about but I am very happy this is around because I am literally obsessed. This is a gel that adds subtle highlights to the brows which adds dimension so you don't look like you painted your brows on.



Brow Powder - Now this is funny because I use eyeshadow and not like a designated brow powder. I use an angled brush with it just so its easier to create the hair like strokes. I feel like this looks the most natural.





That's it for this post! Tell me all about your brows in the comments below!

Look out for a new post soon!
