my eyebrows!

Sunday, 15 January 2012



My eyebrows have always been a bit of an oddball compared to the rest of me, somehow they have winded up about 5 shades darker than my natural hair colour and change shape so regularly I can't keep up. I have been cursed with the 'disobedient eyebrows' gene where the hairs rebel from any position I put them in; an affliction for which I blame my mother's side of the family entirely for!

Although I'm always baffled as to why my eyebrows have decided to be so much darker than my actual hair colour, I really don't see it as an issue but as more a 'feature of my face' which I embrace wholeheartedly and I am now a full devotee to the whole 'filling in the brows all day everyday' group!

Tweezerman are my weapon of choice when it comes to taming my unruly brows and are so sharp and powerful they really make the job of brow taming quick and relatively pain free, and are the best tweezers I have ever used, hands down!

I also use a MUA shadow in Shade 19- Matt, which is dark matte brown on a random old Argos angled brush from my collection, to speedily dust some colour through my eyebrows every morning, counteracting the gaps and darkening the ends. By no means am I a fan of the infamous 'scouse brow' (link here) but a fan of dark and bushy brows, I am!

A quick tug with a brow comb and my brows are complete for the day, even if they very rarely stay in place and will most likely squirm out of position faster than you can say 'eyebrows'! 

What's your 'eyebrow routine' and have you got any miracle brow product recommendations, I need a change from my old favourite MUA eyeshadow!

Have a lovely week!

  2. Mine aren't too unruly- they just don't match! The 'tame' side of ELF's eyebrow treat and tame is really good as it's like a brow gel to set them but is also coloured x

  3. I think you're actually really lucky to have dark eyebrows with your light hair; light eyebrows with dark hair makes it look as though I don't have any! x

  5. I have naturally dark hair and dark brows so don't fill my in too often but recently I've noticed how much it can change your face even if I add only a little powder! And I agree, sharp tweezers make for easy hair removal.

  9. I really like them, such a feature! I am guilty of seriously over plucking mine so now am on a mission to grow them out to their thick bushy glory before I go and get them sorted properly by people who have more knowledge than me haha xx

  10. I have really dark, thick eyebrows. They were wild when I was younger and I used to be self-conscious, but they are now one of my favourite features.

    I have over plucked mine for ages but have been growing them for a while now in order to get them waxed into shape, hate the 'inbetween' stage though! yours are a great shape!

  27. You've beautified your brows so well, Hannah. I can tell how obsessed you are with makeup. My girlfriends and I are using customized tweezers. You should try that too. It's pretty cool.
