How I Do My Eyebrows! + Revlon Brow Fantasy Review

Hi beautiful people! I hope everyone had a good week and is taking some time to relax. There are days when you just want your face to have a break from all the makeup, and for those with acne like me (haven't I mentioned that enough?) it can be scary. Lately however, I've been embracing my natural skin and just going out the door with moisturizer and SPF only. For no-makeup days, I often take the opportunity to play up and define my brows since it helps to give you a more polished and youthful look. It's not cheating! Well, technically its still makeup...but you know what I mean. So today I'll be sharing how I groom and fill in my brows.

Before I begin, I want to thank my mother for quarreling with me for whining when a lady messed up my eyebrows while waxing once, and making me realize it's not the end of the world and there are WAY more important things in life. Obviously I knew that, but I unfortunately resorted to overreacting and being a girl and forgetting that hair grows back...sigh. This was the day I learnt how I could rescue my brows and started filing them in.

Well, I've embarrassed myself enough. Now onto the tutorial and review!

P.s. Every so often I get my eyebrows waxed and this tutorial shows how I maintain my brows in between waxing as well as how I fill them in. This is how I personally do my eyebrows and I am in no way saying this is the right way to do it. Everyone has there own technique and style. Be sure to let me know in the comments what your technique is!

These are the tools and products I use to achieve my eyebrow look

Mirror, Scissors, Tweezers, Concealer Brush, Revlon Brow Fantasy, Lash & Brow Groomer (not shown: L'oreal True Match Crayon Concealer )

Simple Toner, Cotton round

PART 1 (refer to illustration above):

1. This is how my brows look four days after being waxed. My natural eyebrows are thick and the hairs begin to grow back very quickly. 
2. First, I wipe the area around my eyebrows with a toner/astringent to clean and remove any oil (this makes it easier to pluck the hairs)
3. I grab my tweezers and begin to pluck away, following the natural shape of my brow, pulling out stray hairs. Note: Every so often I take a step back from the mirror to ensure I'm not over plucking. If that happens, it's best to stop and not try to continue tweezing to rescue your brows. The hair will grow back. 
4. I then comb the brow hairs upward
5. Using an appropriate pair of scissors, I trim the excess hair
6. This is how my brows look after the grooming is done

PART 2:

1. First I take a look at my brows and see where needs filling in
2. Using a dark brown brow pencil, I fill in my eyebrows with gentle strokes
3. Using a brow gel, I comb my brow hairs in place
4. I let the gel dry and ensure I am happy with the look
5. To finish off, I neaten up and define my eyebrows with some concealer and a concealer brush
6. I'm all done!

REVLON BROW FANTASY REVIEW

I recently purchased this eyebrow duo and I love it. I got mine in the shade dark brown which was the darkest shade available. The pencil has just the right amount of softness and glides along my brows effortlessly. I love the fact that it does not result in very harsh lines, but blends into my brows really well. The gel combs my brows wonderfully and keeps them in place all day. Even when I aimlessly run my finger along them! The only issue I have with this duo is the colour of the gel. I wish it was slightly darker since when it dries, leaves a distinct shade of brown, lighter than my natural hair colour. Nevertheless, a great product!


Well, that concludes my tutorial and review. I hope you enjoyed it and possibly learned a few things from it. Don't forget to share your tips and tricks for doing your brows!
