Ingredients to a Good Brow

A good brow can completely transform your face. It gives structure and IMO, a thicker brow adds youth to the face. You can find the shape your brow is supposed to by following the steps in this cute ass Mary Kay chart. (Mary Kay is one of those brands that desperately needs to be revamped. But, whatever the demographic, this chart is correct):

I think it's super important to get them shaped professionally and then personally, I'm fine getting stray hairs here and there on my own. I'm not a big fan of letting them grow wild and going to get them shaped every 6 weeks...I prefer to keep them groomed and looking non homeless. Then again, I have really dark hair so blondes can probably get away with letting them grow like weeds.

I like to use the products below to maintain:

Brow tinting (that box of Touch of Gray. I couldn't allow myself to take a picture of the front because the guy is just way too smiley and creeped me out. But you can see it and buy it for yourself here) Get yourself a thin slanted brow brush and carefully map out where you want the dye to go. Apply it like you would a brow powder or pomade. Then take a disposable mascara wand, dip it into the dye and gently brush that shit in. Leave on for 5 minutes, wash your face and you're done. I do this once a week.

That Ka-brow! pomade from Benefit is my favorite. It's not as pigmented as the Anastasia one (looked like I drew my brows on with a sharpie using the same eyebrow brush I use all the time, I'm telling you) and it's a cool toned, ashy brown so for my coloring, it works. Nothing is worse then a warm colored brow; it just looks off.

That Tony Moly automatic brow pencil is also bomb...not too waxy, not too pigmented, perfect color for me. When I don't wanna fux with a dipping a brush into the actual brow pomade (it's rare but it happens man, sometimes I'm just not in the mood to do my makeup) I use this product and it's great.

The greatest tweezers (mentioned in the Makeup bag post)

And Anastasia brow gel (mentioned in the Random Things post)

You'd think I was super extra and used a highlighter on my brow bone and concealer around to carve it out but surprisingly, I don't. It is actually possible for me to limit the amount of time I spend getting ready in the mornings and those extra steps just don't fit into my routine.

So, TDLR; If you're not into doing your brows, I'd really rethink your life. Jk. (but not really).
