ALL ABOUT THOSE BROWS

Unknown February 26, 2015 1 Comments

I get a hell of a lot of people asking me what i use on my brows so i thought it was time i did a blog post so i can share with you all! dedicating a whole post to just my brows!

first thing is i have only ever used three products on my brown EVER.

1. a pencil ( which for me is now a no no as i don't think it looks natural enough on me)

2. MUA brow pallet in the shade dark.

3. BROW ZINGS ( of course!!!! everyone and their Nannan are using this stuff! LITERALLY) in shade medium and dark ( i have two different shades)

Here are my two favorite brow products i love using and will probably never change!
i always try new things and experiment with makeup but there is one thing i don't like changing and that is my brow products! maybe in the future i will try something different but for now i will stick to these!

so from left to right i have the hard angle defined brush by benefit which is our brow brush and its so good for precision. then next we have the brow zings in medium by benefit ( as i have run out of my dark one! finally!) these babies last forever!!! i have customers coming to me who's been using this a full year and who have only just run out its amazing! and its only £24.50 you also get a small angled brow brush and rounded edge one and then a small pair of tweeters!

on the right we have the MUA pro brow palette in dark which are found in every super drug shockingly only £3!! yes £3!! and its amazing for its price! however as you can see i have used it so much it only lasts about a month but its still amazing for a cheaper alternative.. on the pictures below i am wearing the MUA pro brow palette as i have run out of my dark brow zings and the medium now looks too light on me! but i'm off to get a new one tomorrow! pay day finally yay!

so now i am about to show you how to map your brows this can also be done with a Q tip but i have used the end of my brow brush! this is how to get a perfect brow shape unique to your face to frame it and get those brows on point!

First thing is first the point where your brow should start from the outside of your nostril.. not the edge of your nose but your nostril. i am aware i look stupid with a a brush in my face but its all for you guys!! then you point the brush straight up and that is where your brow should start.. just mark it to begin with and then you can join the dots up afterwards.

2. the brow arch...

so you go from the same point again through the pupil of your eye and that is where your brow should arch.. gives you a great guideline so that you don't end up with brows right up your forehead!

3. Last but not least the end point.

you now go from the edge of your nose straight past the corner of your eye and this is where your brows should end.. see girls! its as easy as this! so don't get your knickers in a twist give it a go!.. to get the ombre fade at the front to make them look more natural all you do is take all the product of the brush give it a wipe and just blend softly making sure you use less product to begin with at your starting point! if this is still too difficult i shall create a video to help you further! hope this helps

(ps i do apologise for not looking very glam today only have tinted moisturiser on by Niva in natural.. my brows and mascara on! hence why you can see my bright red cheeks! )

xoxox

one closest to my watch brow zings in medium with and without wax and then one closest to my knuckle is MUA pro brow palette in dark.

Under eye dilemmas? PUFF OFF

Unknown February 23, 2015 0 Comments

So guys i do apologies i have not posted in some time now but i am about to show you just what i have been getting up too!

In November i started a new job on the BENEFIT COSMETICS counter in DEBENHAMS SHEFFIELD (on the moor) so i have been busy working but i'm now making more time to fit my blogging in!!

In January we recently launched a new product called PUFF OFF and can i just say it is amazing!

i don't know whether it is a coincidence but i have had a lot of customers coming up to me with under eye dilemmas either worried about dark circles or puffy eyes!

if you are one of those people who is concerned with something like this some of the benefit cosmetics are absolutely brilliant at helping these solutions.

first off i shall start with puffiness! our new product puff off is a cooling eye gel that de-puffs! smooths

and brightens those eye areas. it has light reflecting particles in which brighten, peach in colour to help brighten the discoloration and it also has pep-tides in which smooths the area. The product also has a cooling iron tip to help smooth and de puff the eye! it feels sooooo relaxing! its perfect for those early mornings and late nights to keep you looking fresh and beautiful! for covering aswell as brightening mix with the erase paste concealer as it is pink/salmon toned so that will hide any discoloration but its also great thick coverage!

we also did an amazing event for the launch over at debenhams so if you want to be involved in exclusive events like this for benefit cosmetics come over to Debenhams in Sheffield on the moor!
