Big Bold Brows

For some time now big brows have been seen on the catwalk and are becoming the trend thats seems to be sticking around. No longer are the times of thin tadpoles which are placed above our eyes, but its more about the Cara Delevingne brows. So ladies it's time to put down the tweezers and embrace your big brows.
Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara, Benefit Gimmie Brows Gel,  MUA Clear Mascara, Sleek MakeUp Brow Kit, MAC eyeshadow, L'Oreal Paris Brow Artiste eyebrow pencil.

Personally, I like my brows to be natural but with a bit of definition. I've only been doing my brows for the last couple of years, before that I never really paid my brows much attention. I wish i had started a whole lot sooner, as defining your brows frames your face and overall completes the makeup look.
There are many products out there to choose from to create your prefect brows and its mostly up to personal preference. These are a few of my favourite items to help me create my brows. 




Two very similar products are the Benefit Gimmie Brows Gel (£17.50)  and Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara (£4.99). Both of these products are a gel based formula, with a mascara type wand which you use to comb through your brows. The brush on gel sticks to both the hair and skin creating thick, full brows. The difference between the two is obviously the price tag. But the only other difference between the products if the wand. Maybelline has a much larger wand which can sometimes make it a little harder to create the exact look you want without any smudges around the brows, whereas Benefit have a tapered brushes which is perfect for shaping the brows the way you want. 


Powder products are a very popular choice of products for many people when it comes to filling in your brows. There are many different matte eyeshadows out there which you could buy raging from high street to high end, all essentially will have the same effect as long as you get the correct colour. Make sure that the colour is not too dark and is suited to your skin tone for the product to have the most impact. I prefer to use an angled brush to apply powder products to my brows to allow the best accuracy. Sleek MakeUp Brow Kit (£8.49) is the perfect little set for beginners. With the set containing a shaping wax, setting powder, tweezers and an angle and blending brush its is all you need to define your brows.

Your eyebrows frame your whole face so its time to start paying them some attention.
