How To Get The Perfect Brows (Guest Post)

Eyebrows are what frame our face and can completely transform a look. Here’s how you can achieve the perfect brow.



Step 1: First groom your eyebrows using a spoolie. I like to use an old mascara brush that I’ve cleaned and then bend the tip.

Step 2: Then you want to lightly outline the brow following its natural shape. If you want to extend it, do it slowly and try to keep your line consistent.
You want to make sure you stay 1-3 shades within your hair colour. So if you have black hair; go for a dark brown. And if you have blonde hair; go for a light brown.
I’m using the Wet N’ Wild brow & eye liner in dark brown. The great thing about this product is that you can get it for around $1, it’s highly pigmented, and lasts a long time.

Step 3: After outlining the eyebrow, very lightly feather in small strokes (using the same pencil) following the direction your natural hair grows. Bring out your spoolie again and blend to avoid harsh lines. The more often you blend; the better.

Step 4: Then I take a Real Techniques brow brush with the Revlon eyeshadow in Rich Sable and lightly feather in any gaps. If you want to fill in the beginning part of the eyebrow; use an even lighter colour.
If you’re using an eyeshadow, make sure that it’s matte and has no frost –unless you want some shimmery brows!

Step 5: This step is optional. Use a concealer that matches your skin tone (please no concealer that is lighter than you) and take a small synthetic brush and outline the outside of your brow. This covers up any excess hair and gives a very clean, sharp look. I recommend MAC's studio finish concealer because of its creaminess and longevity.
Make sure you blend in that concealer!

Step 6: Lastly, use a clear brow gel to set your brows. This step is also optional, but it allows your eyebrow to stay put throughout the day.



Clarins Multi-Blush Cream Compact Blush- SWATCHES

I honestly think it's the year of the blush. Well for me... at least. I have come across so many great blushes and were not even half way through the year! If I had to pick one of my favourite blush formulas it would be cream. I love how you can play with the texture to get a desired look.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Before/After: Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser

Right before Valentine's day, I had a horrible break out.  I don't know if it stress-induced or whatever but it wasn't going away. TIn the beginning of February, I was sent the new Biore deep pore charcoal cleanser ($9.99 CAN).

Ugh... It's embarrassing to show this image but it's only to show progress. 


What's the verdict? 
I love it! I'm extremely surprised to see that I get a really good deep cleanse from a product that doesn't have any micro beads in it. Similar to other biore products, after you finish washing your face you do get that tingling feeling. Or the "clean feeling" as my brother calls it. The formula is pretty cool because in the bottle it looks pretty dark but once pumped it's a light grey with little black specs which I assume is the charcoal. Honestly one squirt is all you need.

AFTER SHOT
Clear skin no blemishes.
