Lets Talk Eyebrows ...

I am, I have to say an eyebrow pencil lover.  I have tried with eyebrow powders, mascara for brows, liquid brow liners (ooof let's not even go there)  And I always go back to the same thing Hazel eyebrow pencil by Rimmel.  Fairly basic, available pretty much everywhere.  It is the one thing I HAVE to do everyday.  It makes me feel 'made up'  I can wear a teeny bit of mascara and nothing else - no base, nothing - as long as I have my eyebrows beautifully shaped I feel like I can face the day lol.

I have discovered a couple of basics I would like to share ... you HAVE to have it sharp. Also ignore anyone who tells you to 'draw on tiny hairs' YEAH RIGHT like that is going to happen!  I start half way up the first part of my brow and using a very light pressure just run the pencil along the brow until it is the density of colour I want ... I usually aim for a nice deep shade, it is quite a pale pencil so I can go over a few times before I look too 'mad cat woman' XD Once I've done that bit I do the first section of my brow (the bit by my nose) I go over the actual brow hairs first, then I decide what shape I want that day and either taper them or square them off (in this pic they are tapered) once I'm happy with that I create the arch and the down stroke, I make them an even colour all over and then set them with a little loose powder - really a teeny teeny bit patted on with my ring finger and then lightly brushed off with an eyebrow brush (make sure you brush upwards)

I am hoping at some point I will manage to find a way of making my eyeliner even!  Any tips would be greatly received :)
