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 :)

I'm the one with 2 legs, not 4 - that is Freya.
I love this dress. It was a basic summer dress. I added some net and removed the straps to make a lush prom dress with a really interesting pattern. I love this felt rose, it was made HUGE, given a hot wash and dried in the dryer - it made a lovely tight little rose, it is attached to a basic hairdressers clip.
I finished the outfit with a pair of deep purple skinny jeans, an amethyst and black pearl cross and a pair of iron cross Converses ... see a bit of everything and all me!
