The Perfect Brow

Slay of the Day- The Perfect Brow


As the saying goes ‘eyes are the windows to the soul’, and every makeup artist loves applying eyeshadow to their clients, using a range of colours and blending it to perfection. But also important to those perfect eyes are the perfect brows! Nothing completes the look more than beautifully done eyebrows. This is one of my pet peeves in makeup application when doing it myself or seeing crazy brows on other people. I have to literally fight off the urge sometimes to grab my brow kit and reshape the person’s brow! Today I will share some tips on getting the perfect brow.

One of the requests I make to any client I’m going to do work on is to get their eyebrows waxed or groomed. This allows for easy shaping and filling in where necessary and using less product to conceal new hair growth. For persons with full eyebrows the work is minimal and its usually just to highlight with pencil or brow gel and conceal any errors to perfection, but if you have fine hairs like me it requires a little more work.


To fill your brows, you can use a brow pencil, powder or gel in a dark brown shade. I recommend using the dark brown shade as it is more natural looking as opposed to black which gives a harsh look, unless you naturally have thick black brows. 


You can also go a lighter brown or other shades to match your complexion, some people even try to match it to their hair colour. I alternate between a brow powder or pencil dependent on the look I’m trying to achieve. Whichever I choose the process is the same. Check out my follow-up post on the process to the perfect brow.

Choosing the Right Concealer

Slay of the Day- Choosing the Right Concealer Using the right concealer can give you a beautifully flawless look when applying your makeup. If the correct one is chosen it can cover blemishes, conceal dark circles or spots, or give the look of evenly toned skin. The wrong one can been seen through your foundation and attract attention to your problem areas, show up your blemishes, or show up as a white cast around your eyes. You need to find one that's best for your skin type. For dry skin it is not wise to use a liquid concealer that leaves you with a matte finish, instead try a stick concealer which is usually creamy and pigmented, which can be dotted on the area to be covered or swiped on. After which you blend it with your beauty blender or concealer brush. Coverage ranges from medium to full. For oily skin try a liquid concealer that leaves a matte finish. This type of concealer is great as you can build up on the desired coverage you want from light to full...

Weird Makeup Trends

Weird Makeup Trends For every great makeup trend created there's a weird, crazy one to match, not all are a hit. Here are some weird makeup trends that had me wondering if the creators were on some sort of substance. The Braided Brow As I mentioned in my post on brows I love seeing perfect brows, so imagine my astonishment at seeing these brow trends. As much as it looks perfectly sculpted and you have to be really talented to get it to look like a braid, it is beyond my comprehension why someone would want to rock braided brows. The Feathered Brow If the braided brow wasn't bad they came up with the feathered brow. Like why, are you going to fly away? The Squiggly Brow Then they thought of the squiggly or wavy eyebrow.  The Squiggly Lips To match the squiggly brows the squiggly lips were created that had me screaming whyyyyyyy??? Nose Hairs Who would purposely want hair sticking out of their nose, especially and female??? ...

Deciding on your makeup look can be a task, especially when the options are endless, and you want to look your best. It can even more challenging if you decide to tackle the look yourself. Today I will take you through some steps to achieve this grad glam. Apply an eye shadow primer or concealer and let it dry. Next apply a neutral base eye shadow all over your eyelid  Taking your blending brush, touch the tip  into a matte, dark brow eye shadow and apply it to the outer corner of the eye in a “V” shape and blend into the crease. Using a tapping motion, apply a shimmery pink champagne shade on the up to the mid point and out to the inner corner of the eye.  Use the...
