This month I've been trying to master my brows! I've been loving a combination of products, and discovered the perfect brow shade towards the end of this month!
To start off, I use the Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint & Precision Shaping Pencil in Brownie Points. The thin felt tip end is perfect for adding those extra 'hairs' to sparse looking areas.
To get the perfect shape I've been using the Seventeen Brow's That Brow Kit. This kit is a perfect all in one if you're just starting to fill in your brows. It comes with a pencil, wax, powder, brush and highlight; and all within a handy compact, with a decent mirror! The wax is great for etching out that arch to die for, then follow over with the powder to create the perfect brow. However the powder is quite a rich brown - ideal for a strong brow day - not so great for a minimal makeup/natural look.
The replacement for a more natural look is the eyeshadow Tob-le-rone from my beloved Makeup Revolution Naked Chocolate palette. It's a pale taupe/brown shade that is ideal for natural looking brows! I apply the powder with the EcoTools Shade & Define Brush. This is a double ended brush, the angled end is the one for angled precision brows and liner!
On a side note - the pouch that EcoTools brushes come in is so useful! I've found it's great to keep cotton buds in when travelling - or anything you want to keep separate in your makeup bag!
When I was in London last, I picked up the Bourjois Colorband 2-in-1 Eyeshadow & Liner in Brun Dadaïste. Cream eyeshadow sticks make application so quick and easy, and these shadows blend so well! If you want a coppery wash of colour all over the eye, possibly with some smudgy liner close to the lash line, this is the product for you! Love it!
The next product I've put off buying for a while, not knowing if I'd get on with it. But I definitely do! It's the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. This is the first makeup sponge that I've ever used, I've always used my hands or brushes! RT have done it again though! It has different sections of the sponge for separate areas of the face - all work amazingly! I've been using it damp, yet to try it dry but I'll give it a go. Since purchasing this I've not picked up a base brush at all! Gives a natural finish that is flawless!
I think I've mentioned before I'm not a huge foundation wearer. Normally I'd just wear concealer, maybe a CC cream to even everything out. But this month I picked up the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation in 52 Vanilla. I spotted it on a trip to Boots and thought I'd give it a go. It's changed the way I look at foundations! It's lightweight, but buildable. Gives an instant lift to the skin, getting rid of tired looking skin! Vanilla is a perfect match for me and looks flawless when applied with the RT Miracle Complexion Sponge. Thank you Bourjois for restoring my faith in foundation!
