It all started back in late 2012/early 2013 where I ventured into the brow trend. You see, chemotherapy didn't leave me with great brows. Instead, it took away my brows. So with some help from Nina, I got my brows back. By filling them in.
My holy grail is definitely the Silkygirl Brow Pencil. Retailed at RM12.90, it does its job pretty darn well. Ever since I used it, I never look back and neither do I try any other products. Silkygirl is a brand that is easily hold of and the price really is a bargain when you are stuck in the middle of nowhere and in need of a brow pencil. Not sure why would you need one but it is easily obtained and doesn't require any other tools, anyway.
I use the pencils whenever I feel lazy and so done with doing my makeup but still needing a lil bit of definition to my face. The black brow pencil is my grandma's actually and I took it. Hehe thanks, Opah. Sayaaaaaang Opah 💕💕💕
On days where I have more time and energy, I would reach for my brow powder. My first brow powder was from Victoria Secret's eye palette. The shade is quite similar to Tarte's brow powder in medium brown. Pictured above is a Coastal Scents' 88 Original Palette and I use the bottom 3 (mixed together) to create my brows.
I use a regular bamboo angled brush to apply the powder and finish it off with a coat of clear brow gel by Essence.
I would start doing my brows by lining the bottom part of it. By that, I have a clean edge and gives me a guide on to where should I fill in. Then, with light and short strokes, I would line the upper part of it. Not too harsh, though as it would make me look very garang and its not always a good thing.
For the tail, I take the brush and according to its angle, I take it down, using my natural tail as a guide. But, I would elongate my tail and make it somehow parallel to the end of my lower lash line. And then I would just fill them in as usual and leaving the front part faded.
Here is a trick, take your brush, put some of the brow gel on it, dip into the shadow pan and apply it to your brows as you normally would. This trick would make your brows look more natural and increase the longevity of your brows. This trick works especially for filling in the middle part and accentuating your tail. Well at least for me it did. Do try this trick and tell me how it works for you!
That's it! That is my brow routine every time you see me. This year I have a resolution to always have my brows on even if it's just kedai Acheh belakang rumah. I feel more confident with my brows on as it completes my face. Either way, do what makes you happy. Because that is all that matters in the end. Good luck!
Love,
Fatin
