Wrong brows

27 May

Today, I am going to list out brow mistakes.

(Like what I did for my “Wrong Eye Makeup” entry here)

I have seen women on the streets with HORRENDOUS brows, and I wish to enlighten some people who don’t know how important brows are.

My brows are not perfect, but it is definitely not unsightly.

Here are some tips:

#1. Every brow is different, and your brow defines you. I used to love Rainie Yang’s high arches but it makes me look extremely fierce. Now, I stick to what suits me best.

#2. When you moisturize your face, don’t forget your brow area. They tend to dry up and get flaky too!

#3. Going all natural, like teenage girls, might not be the best idea if you have extremely thick and bushy brows. If you want to look a little more groomed, pluck the excess with a good pair of tweezer.

#4. Lastly, the biggest brow mistake is to ignore the brows.I know that it is troublesome but a nice pair of eyebrows will frame the entire face and can make a difference between untidy and well-groomed.

If you feel like you will do it wrongly on your own, visit a professional and head to browhaus today.

Trying out my eyebrow stencils

21 Oct

…a failed experiment.

***

Ok, so above are the stencils that i bought.

***

And here are my crazy ugly eyebrows.

Not that it really matters, because I have bangs to cover them.

***

Here, I am trying to fit the eyebrow stencils into my eyebrows.

I think eyebrows are really important because it helps frame the face nicely. Looking at this picture, I can almost visualize my new brows. So far, so good.

***

Used tape to hold the stencils down because I need both hands for holding my brush and eyebrow colour.

Can’t wait to see results!

***

Filled up with brown shadow, but did not see any effect. So I used black instead.

Disaster lurking ahead.

***

Told ya.

Now I have Crayon Shinchan’s eyebrows. Damn backside itchy.

Don’t laugh. The strong brow look is hot on the runway.

***

So I filled the other side with brown. Now, it doesn’t look that bad.

But something’s not quite right. So I’m gonna have to trim it.

***

Presenting to you….. my cute eyebrow shaver.

***

As you can see, my brows after washing away the brow powder.

***

Trying to see if my brown concealer works better. Yes, that brown’s really dark. My skin colour is nowhere close to that.

***

Now the brows are filled. But I didn’t really like that look.

I hate how the angle looks weird, and that the tail isn’t as “sharp” as it’s supposed to be.

So I removed it.

***

Then, I used eyebrow pencil to draw on my own without the stencils.

***

There you go. I decided that I like this brows more than what the stencils could give me.

So I’m gonna donate my stencils! Any takers?

***

Lesson learnt. Eyebrow stencils does not work for me and this particular shape does not flatter my face at all. And let’s not even mention about framing my face.

For a lesson that costs less thanĀ $5, it is quite enlightening.

Anyone who used brow stencils and made it work? Please share your experience!
