Brows, brows, brows, that´s all everyone is obsessed with at the moment, me included. Having defined brows can really change the look of your whole makeup and even give your face a more structured look, especially round faces like I have.
Obsessing over women with perfect brows over on Instagram or Tumblr is probably the easiest part of the whole thing, but finding products that actually work for you and are easy to apply is definitely a challenge.
I can proudly say that I have found two amazing products that are absolutely working out for me and they actually fit my hair colour really, like really, well.
NYX MicroBrow Pencil in Taupe (12€)
I´m not sure about how many times I have already mentioned and raved about this brow pencil over here. I will just have to remind you all again about how amazing it is!
I wasn´t too sure about which shade I should pick up, but from the packaging "Taupe" seemed like the closest to my dark blonde/light brown hair colour.
The texture is really waxy and slides easily along my skin and even over my brow hair which, to me, is really important as my hairs are quite long in that area.
Now, I´m definitely not the best at lining by brows but I have to say I find that I actually do a good job. I don´t fill my brows completely in with this product only my tail and the outlines of the rest.
It has two ends, on one you´ve got the brush end which works really well and on the other side you´ve got the actual product. It seems from the look of it really small but it is the perfect size for a precise application.
It takes me around 2-3 minutes in the morning to finish that step.
Maybelline Brow Drama in Dark Blonde (8€)
The Brow Drama is a product that I own since a very long time and I really love it. You can use it on it´s own when you have a lazy day and just want a hint of colour to your brows or you can include it as a product to completely fill in the rest of your brows after outlining them like I´m doing at the moment.
It´s a eyebrow mascara with a round brush which again is a really good size to apply just the right amount of product to your brows.
It was really easy to find the perfect shade as they are named after hair colour types so as you know what hair colour you have you can completely trust yourself and just go with the matching brow gel.
So as I said I only outline mine with the pencil and after that I like to take this brush and comb through my brows in an upward motion to really get the gel even.
Then I wait until it´s dry and use the brush side of the NYX pencil and brush through my brows to get any clumps out.
What do you use to get your dream brows?
Anything that absolutely didn´t work out for you?
I love brow drama, I find it really holds my brows in place throughout the day!
