TUTORIAL: 1/2 blocked out brows

Here is my cheats guide to blocking out eyebrows in a jiffy. The trick is to A- Use glue and B- Only block from the arch outwards to save time. It's ideal if you want a little drama, without going all 80's goth (for the ref, I love that look.)

At the end of my tutorial, there is a video from the amazing Petrilude, a v-logger in the US who is by far one of the best out there. He explains the glue method too - plus shows you how to do it properly (professionally) with morticians wax. The glue works fine for me for a quick fix, but for a really pro result go for the wax (just remember to buy the sealer and remover.)


STEP 1: Comb through brows and apply pritt stick to the outer arch and below using your little finger. Leave to dry and repeat until all the hairs are stuck down and the surface is totally flat.


STEP 2: After the brow is totally dry, apply a thick-ish concealer (I use MAC studio fix) using a sponge. It needs to be applied gently, so the glue doesn't peel off. Repeat until you're happy, then go in with your foundation to match the rest of your face. Set with translucent powder (I actually use Illamasqua Powder Foundation, I like a heavy matte finish for fashion make-up.) Gently outline how you want the brow to look, using a gel liner or kohl pencil.


STEP 3: if you want them super black and a bit shiny, go over your brows again with liquid liner. Et voila.
