Big lashes and bushy brows. How I do mine

If you asked me 1.5 years ago about my brows, I'd of probably just walked away from you, not because I'm rude, but because they terrified me. I'd had them waxed and tinted once, but that was it! I started getting into watching YouTube videos and realised that you can fill you brows in without looking like you've been attacked by a sharpie.
I definitely would say that brows are a key point of makeup lately, and will probably be getting bigger and bolder as we get into the colder months.

   

Brows
  1. I always fill in the ends of my brows a lot more then I do the front. I just think on my brows that if I fill in the front, then it just looks too harsh and drawn on, So I usually just lightly run the pencil or brush, what ever i'm using, through the front and then go more heavy at the ends. Here I used the Eylure pencil in dark to medium brunette.
  2. If you wanting more natural brows, whilst still giving some definition then you can skip step one, and just do step 2, which is coloured brow gel. The one I have is MUA's brow define tinted brow mascara in shade dark brown. Unlike in step one, I mainly use this brow gel at the front of my brows, it keeps them looking natural, but just more 'done'..? you get what I mean? anyway, it also keeps them in place without feeling crispy or dry, and because it's tinted, makes your brows look darker.


Lashes
  1. I always always always curl my lashes other wise they're just straight and pointless. Then I put one coat of they're real on, I personally don't see the hype with this mascara, It's nice and I like it, don't get me wrong, but it's not WOW, it's just nice and natural.
  2. I don't really wear false lashes, I've only really started in the past few weeks, and even then, I stick to very natural looking lashes, that just add a little bit of length and volume. I used The Ardell Demi Wisipies, but cut about a third off the end, as I only really wanted them to add some subtle length on the second half of my lash line. You can see in the picture the size I cut them (top pair in comparison to the pairs below it). And I used Eylure lash glue.
  3. Oh, and if you're wondering what eyeliner I used, It's Maybellines gel liner, The one in the pot, not the pen. 


I am still such an eyelash newbie, so if you have any recommendations on styles you think I might like, let me know in the comments!
