Brow Tutorial

Brows on Point!!




Its all about the brows! Full, defined brows are so on trend. I don't think we'll ever look back at thin, over plucked eyebrows again! Seriously, what were we thinking?!



To achieve flawless, strong brows your going to need to following:

 Inglot Gel Eyeliner number 90 (Maybelline/Rimmel also do brown gel liners!)
  Brow Pencil for filling in your brows
Brow wand (clean disposable mascara wand) to brush out your brows
A thick cream concealer for sculpting your brows (I use Mac Studio Fix Concealer in NC20)
 A small detail brush for concealer



Step One: Groom your brows!

Make sure all stray hairs are plucked, then use the wand to comb your front brow hairs upwards and the rest over to the side.

Step Two: Define your Eyebrows

This can be done by using an eyebrow pencil with a slightly heavier hand, or you can use an angled brush and brown gel eye liner.
I find the gel works better to keep the hairs in place and give a more defined look.




Step Three: Fill Them In!

Use your brow pencil to feather light stokes in the front of your brows working your way to the middle of the brow filling in any gaps.
Im using Soap and Glory Archarchy Eyebrow Pencil in the shade Hot Chocolate. (€10 from Boots)




Step Four: Blend Blend Blend!!

Use the wand again to blend out any harsh lines! Focus of the front of the brows.



Step Five: Sculpt  and Highlight

Use a small detail brush, I'm using a lip brush by Real Techniques (available from Boots),  to sculpt out the bottom and the tail of your eyebrow. This will highlight your brow bone, define your brow EVEN MORE! as well as help clean up any mess.
Mac Studio Fix Concealer is great for this! but any cream concealer will do the job :)




afterwards just blend the concealer and apply the rest of your makeup as normal.

Hope this Helped!
And remember your brows are sisters not twins ;)

Until Next Time,

90'S Lips: Sleek Lip 4 Lipstick Palette


Jenner Lips Alert!!


Ok! Everyone's talking about Kylies lips. Whether she has had them done or not, WE WANT THEM! and with the help of a couple of products I've come across you can get her lips for LESS! 

Since Kylie began posting selfies on Instagram rocking  this AMAZING lip colour every makeup lover out there has been searching for the perfect product to get this 90's inspired lip. With there being SOOO many products out there I've narrowed it down to a hand full of the best products you can choose from to get her exact look .

Kim Kardashian also revealed to Nic from Pixiwoo on YouTube (one of my fav youtubers), which lip product Kylie actually uses to achieve her fab lips. (read on to find out)

 SLEEK LIP 4 LIPSTICK PALETTE IN BALLET

I have been using this lip palette from Sleek for almost two months on a daily basis and I cannot recommend it enough! if your looking to jump on the 90's lip trend band wagon or you simply just want a neutral lipstick this is a must! plus you can never go wrong with four lip shades for just €10.99.
As the name suggests the palette consists of 4 GORGEOUS! nude and soft pink lip shades all with  individual names: Tutu, PliĆ©, Swan Lake and Pirouette

LIP PALETTE SWATCHES

The palette is a mixture of matte, gloss and satin finishes. I usually mix up the shades to create my own lip colour.
The colours are really pigmented and the staying power is roughly 4/5 hours until I feel I need to re-apply but that's just me! I could probably get away with leaving it longer until reapplying if I'm honest.
I love love love these lip palettes and I'm definitely going to purchase more next time I'm in Boots (which will more than likely be in the next few days, I have problems!)

This palette along with a darker nude lip liner is all you need to create the Kylie Jenner 90's lip. I recommend using  Mac Whirl, Stripdown, or Spice (Kylie uses Spice) to slightly over line the lips and to fill them in slightly. This will create a base for the sleek lipsticks and help your lips stay perfect for longer!
