Eyebrows

eyebrows are the most important part as i feel it frames a person's features.

i guess most people wonder about achieving the perfectly drawn brows. be it eyebrow pencils or brow powder, the few key point to it is:-
  • NEVER start filling in right from the start ( nearest to your nose bridge ) of your brows.
  • only fill in at area(s) that are more sparse.
  • start filling in from about 1/3 of the start of the brows with very light short stroke ( IMO ).
  • slowly build the intensity as you don't want to over do and end up with "cockroach feelers".
  • don't line the "perimeter" of your brows.
if you like to spend more time with your brows, u can use 2 shades of brow powder, the lighter one for the upper ( horizontally ) half, and the slightly darker one for the lower half. and i always fill in my brows before any eye makeup so that i can to take a look at it after spending time focusing on other areas, somehow its easier to spot which part of the brows needs to touch up to make them more symmetrical.
oh another trick that i love is to place the bottom of my palm slightly to one side of my chin to act as a pivot point and repeat the step on the other side. i feel that that why it's easier to make the more or less symmetrical too!

personally i use the ZA Ever Brows as i've pretty oily skin and so far it's the only pencil that doesn't turns "creamy" for a full day wear.
