EYEBROWS LIKE AUDREY

Tuesday 5 November 2013



That is what I want when I think of eyebrows. I like them bushy, thick and strong, ah maybe that sounds a bit wrong, ok not bushy but you know what I mean. I love how Audrey Hepburn has her eyebrows in her iconic films, she looks so natural and fresh without wearing lot of make up. If you think about her look she didn't wear a lot of make up on her face, all she did was, make her eyebrows more defined and thick, put some black eye liner on the upper eyelid and a little lipstick on her lips, that's it. There wasn't much contouring or highlighting going on, yet she looked beautiful and radiant. So when people say eyebrows frame your face and you should look after them they are right!

Eyebrows really do frame your face, I notice it every morning when I put my make up on. I leave my eyebrows for last so when all the make up is done and only the eyebrows are left to do and I look into the mirror I look weird. Only when I have drawn them in its when I look complete and the whole make up comes together.

Here is how I like to do my mine!




First I like to fill them out with some powder eyeshadow, I like to use Mac's wedge eyeshadow and my Mac 266 angled brush and roughly draw out the shape I want them to be. Then to make them a little bit stronger and more defined I use my Lancome le crayon sourcils eyebrow pencil in the colour 020 Chatain. I love this pencil, its the perfect shade for my eyebrows and its really easy to draw with. It has a soft but not waxy mine and the best thing is that it comes with a spoolie on the other side. If you happen make a mistake just use the spoolie and brush though a few times and it all looks good again.

Lastly I go over my brows with Maybelline browdrama brow gel. I never used a brow gel before until a few weeks ago but now I really like it. It keeps my hairs all in order and helps them stay in place for the day. It has this unique brush applicator that has a little ball at the end making it super easy and quick to apply the gel. 
If you don't like drawing in your eyebrows and faffing around with them or never get the shape right you could just use this to define them a little as they come in 3 nice eyebrow colours. 

So that's how I look after my brows, what do you think? How do you look after your eyebrows? Do you like them thick and strong like me or do you like them thinner and more natural?

    1. Ha ha yes I was never really a fan of those super thin eyebrows and I am glad like you that I never plugged them to death. I think they make the face look weird.

  6. I love big brows also and Audrey's were always flawless! But my one concern about using brow products is the fact that the colors are either too light or too dark for my brows :l

    1. I personally don't mind if my brows are slightly darker than my natural hair but you could always go to mac and find a powder matte eyeshadow that is the perfect shade for your eyebrows.

  9. I have never been paying much attention to my eyebrows (except, of course, keeping them in shape), but lately have been trying out a bit darker color and making them a bit visually thicker!
