Brow products come in all kinds of budgets, so there really is something for everyone to try. And some people swear that the budget brands are the best.
Getting The Shape Right
What shape are you looking for? It is best to go with the natural look of the brows. You can fill them in using stencils but they won’t be natural looking to your face. When you fill the brows in, you need to outline them first. Do this with your pencil, by marking the inner brow where it starts. Then using your pencil, draw the outline by following the natural brow shape.
Now that you have your shape, you need to fill it in. When you fill it in, try not to do it too heavy, they will look unnatural.
Eyebrow Products
There are so many different eyebrow products on the market, so it can be a bit of a minefield when you look. Firstly, don’t feel intimidated, they all do the same job, which is to basically colour your brows. It is really a matter of preference for what product you prefer. You can even buy eyebrow products from £1 in drugstores.
Eyebrow pencils
Pencils are best for outlining your eyebrows and getting the shape right. You can also get microblading pens or pencils, that is shaped to colour each and every blade of hair. You can get all sorts of different pencils and you will soon find the best one to suit your brows.
Eyebrow Powders
Powders come as pressed powder palettes and also as a pen. If you use it as a pressed powder, you will get a brush to help apply it to your brows. As a pen, the powder comes out as you dab the pen on your brows. A powder often gives a really natural look.
Eyebrow Mascaras
Eyebrow mascaras are exactly like they sound. It is an eyebrow gel in a mascara tube so that you can apply it to your eyebrows with a mascara brush. This mascara brush helps you to brush your brows in the right direction too. You can use eyebrow mascara if you want a more natural look to your brows. Eyebrow mascaras are often sold as eyebrow gels, but they are distinctive in their mascara type tube packaging.
Eyebrow Pomades
If you are looking for a creamy eyebrow product, a pomade is what you need. The pomade comes in a pot and usually has an angled brush with it too. Make sure you apply it lightly because too much can look too thick and unsightly. A pomade can also be bought as a mousse too. Some pomades can also be long-lasting and waterproof.
Eyebrow Tints
If you are looking for something more permanent and waterproof then you need an eyebrow tint. This comes in different forms, but they are easy to apply. You can get an eyebrow tint where you mix a colour and a small amount of peroxide together. Then paste it onto your brows. Eyelure makes these types of tints and they are extremely popular. You can also buy a brow tattoo product, these are easier to use. You get a tube of ready-made tint and you use a brush to apply it. The colour dries on the brows and then you peel it off, and underneath your brows are coloured. This lasts for about 3 days and is great for busy women who cannot do their brows every day.
Now that you know which products are the best, you can confidently go and buy the best product for you. Make sure you choose the correct shade for your brows. If you are not sure about getting the right shape of brows, you can buy some templates to shape them. But as I said earlier, If you have perfect eyebrows, you are halfway there to the perfectly made-up face.
