Eyebrow Game #strong



Urban Decay Naked Basics : Faint
Urban Decay Naked : Buck
Watts up by Benefit
Angled Brush by elf
Lip brush & eyebrow comb (walmart?)



I usually begin with taking a wet brush (the "lipliner" one with the orange tip) and take the color Faint from the UD Basics to draw an outline of my brow where its needed. Usually this is just the arch. Then I use the elf small angled brush with a mixture of Faint and Buck from the UD Naked 1 and fill in my brows. I comb it all through and VoilĂ !

I used to use a Maybelline eyebrow pencil to do my brows but for the past 2 or so years I've been using shadows because it looks more soft and natural. I do however want to try the Hourglass waxy/pencil thing. It looks incredible. 

How do you like to do your brows?

Brushes Galore


These are my everyday makeup brushes. Looking at it now, it seams like a lot of brushes to use but if I decided not to do an eye look I usually just sweep my blush brush across my lids. It took me a long time to discover and narrow which brush size worked for my face and the products I was using. I think that's a mistake a lot of people can make when starting or developing an interest in makeup. I don't use a blush brush for blush all the time, and I don't like flat foundation brushes for my face. You are allowed to break the rules and not only experiment with types of makeup, but brushes too. 


Here are the brushes I use with the products that I would normally use with them listed bellow.


  • Real Techniques Multi-Task Brush
    Bare Minerals Mineral Veil in Original

  • Real Techniques Essential Foundation Brush
    Tarte Smooth Oporater Powder (to set my under eye area)

  • Real Techniques Domed Shadow Brush
    Any crease color

  • elf Power Brush
    Hard Candy Glamoflouge Concealer

     
  • elf Completion Brush
    MAC Sheertone blush in Gingerly

  • elf Blush Brush
    NARS Laguna Bronzer

     
  • Bare Minerals Full Tapered Blush & Eye Brush
