Beautiful Brows


We here at VII love a good strong yet natural brow and in today's post we will talk through some of the products/techniques we like to use to achieve Beautiful Brows! 

A few tip's before we start :


  • Always stick to your natural brown shape as this will be the most flattering for your face! Work with what you have, as you should only be enhancing those pretty features. 
  • Never...and we really mean NEVER wax your eyebrows...it might be the fastest/painless way to groom your brow's ladies but over time your eyelids WILL sag/stretch...You have been warned! (Threading is a great alternative and the results also last longer).
  • If you are a brunette your brows should be about two shades lighter, but of you are blonde, you should take them up two shades darker, as this will make your eyes to Pop! 

Now your brows are all prepped lets talk products...You can use a pencil or shadow to fill in your brow's...One is not better than the other, it really is down to personal preference or what kind of look you want to achieve.

If you like using a Pencil, a great affordable pick is Rimmel London's Professional Eyebrow pencil. This pencil, which also includes a small brush on the lid (see image below) is available in Boots, comes in 3 shades and costs €4.95.



Another highly talked about, amazing brow pencil is the Anastasia Brow Whizz. On the more expensive side at approx €15, the brow whizz is amazing for those of you with sparse brows as the tip is extremely fine, allowing you to mimic the appearance of tiny hairs! It also includes a spoole at one end which is great for brushing through and softening your brows!!

The Brow Whizz is available online at the above website and comes in 6 shades.

For those of you who prefer to use an eye shadow and brush we would recommend using a angled brush like a Mac 266 or a more affordable option is the Catrice eyebrow brush (available in Pennys €4). Using a angled brush will help you achieve the perfect arch and professional defined brow!

As for shadows we both loving the shades Espresso and Show Stopper from Mac which are great shades for brunettes but can also double up as amazing crease colours for a smokey eye look!!
