Eyebrows are one of my favourite things about makeup. If I could only keep one thing in my makeup routine it would be my brows. However, they can be a tricky thing to master. I've been filling my brows in for years so I'd like to think I know a bit about them. I've tried everything from pencils to wax to powder, but recently I found a way that I am very happy with, so thought I would share with you some of my tips for getting your brow game on!
Shape
I tweeze my brows as that way I know the shape they will be as I am a bit worried about handing them over to someone else! I always feel my brows are at their best when they are freshly tweezed as they just look a lot more defined and neat. I use Clnique tweezers but you can use any tweezers really, however angled tweezers makes for the easiest removal.

I remember writing a blog post over a year ago talking about my hair, and being so pleased with how long it was. Fast forward to now and I've basically chopped most of it off - a good 10 to 12 inches to be more precise. Now I'm not trying to be vain or self-centred as I know that there is a lot more to life than hair, I just wanted to write this post to show the changes I've made, and maybe inspire others who might want to take the same steps as I did.
It all started about 2 and a half years ago with what I thought was a 'bad haircut'. In short - I thought the hairdresser cut too much off and was so upset I then I declared that I was never getting my hair cut again. That was clearly a stupid thing to say, but I stuck to it for a good year and a half. My hair naturally grows very quickly so it took about that length of time to grown from boob length to my hips. I was so proud of how long I had grown it, but was getting bored of how it looked and then started to think about getting it cut. I'm going to be honest, it's taken me 5 trips to the hairdressers to get it to where it is today. Lets just say I've just been quite scared of doing it. The longer it grew, the more frightened I was to cut it. However, I am SO glad I finally took the plunge and cut it to just below boob length in October. All I could think was 'why didn't I do this sooner?'. I then went back to the hairdressers about 6 weeks later and had about another inch or so off, and then again in February (I know...) , and had it cut to the length it is in the top right picture. If I'm honest I probably should have just done that in the first place and I would have saved myself a lot of time and money!
If you're thinking about getting the chop then I would say look at lots of pictures of the style of hair you want and then sit on the idea for a bit. If after a good length of time you still want to do it then go ahead. I would suggest showing a picture to your hairdresser to give them a good idea of what you want. Also, if it seems like a hugely daunting task then ask your hairdresser to cut it a couple of inches at a time and see how you like it. Let me know if you have done something similar recently as I would be vey interested to find out!

Without trying to sound over dramatic, this stuff has really changed the whole way I think about my makeup now. It's so good at keeping my eye makeup on, that I can now know that if I have a long day ahead, my makeup will last. Although expensive I think it's absolutely worth it and I am so glad I have finally discovered it! You can read my full review here.
