Fellow Blogees,
This week we're looking at the very problematic issue of creating the perfect brow. We all know it's a challenge: too arched, too fake, too pointy etc etc. Truth is, it's very confusing and can take years to master the perfect brow. So feel free to make use of the state of the art diagram to help achieve the life goal of perfect eye brows.
Very mathematical is this brow business. I know what you're thinking, don't bring maths into an already complicated situation, but in this instance, maths might actually help?
1. Using a makeup brush, position it up between the end of your brow and your nostril, these should line up. If stuck, consult the diagram!
2. Again using a makeup brush, your nostril should also line up with the beginning of the brow.
3. (At the risk of sounding repetitive) AGAIN using the makeup brush, the arch of the brow should line up with the middle of the nose.

Handy Hints and Tips:
1. For super duper natural looking brows, a powder is best (you don't need to specifically buy a brow powder, eye shadow works fine too), use an angled thin brush to apply this.
2. Use a powder/gel/whatever with a more khaki undertone. Natural hair has a khaki undertone, and red undertones products really show up in pictures and bright day light.. so stick to khaki to avoid a crisis!
3. If you want your brows to look prominent, you can use a light concealer around the brow, or a highlighter on the brow bone.
4. Don't fill in your eyebrows and make them look solid, use light brush strokes, making them look feathered (if you want a natural look, which is what most of us are after). Natural brows tend to be lighter towards the centre and thicker as they go out, so when working on the beginning part of the brow, don't use a brush with fresh product on or it will look too heavy.
5. If you tend to have mega crazy, rebellious brows, hairs that curl and don't do what their told etc, you might want to use a brow gel to hold them in place, especially good if you need your make up to last all day!

So there you have it, you should now be able to go off and create brows like you never knew you could. If anyone tries, do let us know, we'd love to hear!
Until Next Time...
