Eyebrows on #FLEEK


Eyebrows can change the shape of the face and they're one of the favourite parts to do in my makeup routine - if I was allowed to use only one makeup product it would be to fill in my eyebrows. I have black hair so naturally I choose to use cool ash toned grey colours to fill them in.


I usually get my eyes professionally threaded every 6 - 8 weeks and use tweezers and an eyebrow razor to clean them up whenever needed.


I got mine in a pack of three from Amazon and it's really inexpensive. It's easy to use and I just brush the razor lightly over the areas where I want to get rid of the hairs.

To prep my eyebrows, all I do is use a spooly to comb through the hairs. I then draw in a faint line on the bottom of my eyebrows about 1cm in from the start to define and give it some shape. I don't usually draw a line on the top as it looks the most natural when I don't. I then start filling my brows with light strokes starting from the inside of my brows and working my way out. I go back to the start afterwards and round it out with a light hand to create a slight gradient and fill in sparse areas.


Now to the fun part; what I use to fill them in. I currently have three different products that I change between regularly, depending on how I feel.


Seventeen Brow Sculpting Pencil, Boots £2.89

An eyebrow pencil is my most used product - it's quick and easy to use on a daily basis. 

Collection Work the Colour Blonde Eyebrow Kit, Boots $3.99

With the Collection eyebrow kit, I use the black colour to draw on the bottom line for my brows and use the lightest colour on my brow bone to define it more (I use the middle colour more as an eyeshadow). The brow gel is really good, it keeps everything in place but doesn't make the hairs stiff. 

Anastasia Beverly Hill Dip Brow Pomade, £15 and ELF Small Angled Brush £3


Everyone had been raving about the ABH dip brow pomade and I finally succumbed. I bought it in ash brown which is a cool toned grey/almost black colour. I use it with the ELF small angled brush. It's very velvety and smooth and the littlest amount is needed so the pot will last me a long time.

Eyebrows are personal preference, and there is no right or wrong way to do them. Hope you enjoyed!
