My Updated Eyebrow Tutorial + Fave Brow Products Video Details
A lot of you guys were excited about seeing this video, so thanks very much for waiting patiently! I know not everyone is going love these brows as they do look darker and more defined. But I got a countless number of complaints about my normally filled in "natural" brows, since many of you felt they were too light. I'm hoping this will satisfy people on both ends of the opinion spectrum since I showed/included both brow styles.
I would have included filling in my brows with the MAC Coquette and MAC 208 brush, but I didn't want to wipe the first eyebrow to do so.. just start from the bottom of the brow and feather up. Don't use extra product on the front of the brow, use only what is leftover from finishing the arch.
Now, I have been tweezing and waxing. I raised my arches and if you're a beginner, I don't recommend you do this at home because most people generally end up overplucking. Go see a Benefit Beauty brow bar aesthetician (look reviews up on yelp.com before making your appointment) and tell them what you would like.
If you have no idea, then look up pictures of people with similar face shapes and features and discuss with the aesthetician what you like and dislike, so that you may agree on what will work best for you! Be honest and communicate assertively!! Good luck :)
