I had a £50 gift voucher from my last birthday so I went to have my eyebrows done (I LOVE how they now look!) and used the remaining balance of the voucher to buy one of the HD Brows Eye & Brow Palettes so that I could maintain my fab new eyebrows at home.
My eyebrows are really sparse which looks odd against my dark hair, so I am always having to tint them and fill them in to make them look more defined. I have tried so many eyebrow pencils and powders, and usually end up chucking them away as they’re not quite right – either too dark or too warm for my complexion. I’ve even mixed together eye shadows so that I can get the shade I want.
After my HD Brows treatment Amita showed me how to fill in my brows using the Vamp palette to create a more defined look for a night out, so I knew that these shades would work for me. There are four shades – a nude (3) to highlight the brow bone, a carbon (2) which can be used as an eyeliner, a dark brown (4) and a rich brown (4) - the browns can be used as eye shadows as well as on your brows.
I mostly use the brown shades and just use them on my eyebrows. Rich brown is the warmer, softer shade and Dark is bold and ashy. I vary every day on how I use this palette; sometimes I use one of them, sometimes I use both. It really depends on what sort of look I want to go for. A little goes a long way, the swatches below were literally tiny dabs! You can create a really soft natural look or you can create a more strong defined look, it’s so versatile. You could even create a Scouse brow if you really wanted too! I tend to go for defined yet natural.
The little brush is great too; to be honest I thought I wouldn’t like it as normally the little brushes in palettes are too fiddly for me. I was surprised at how handy the brush is. I use the blunter end to stroke the powder through my brows and the softer end to blend the colour. I love the staying power of these powders. I can do my brows first thing in the morning and by the time I’m going to bed they still look as good.
I’m so pleased that I have finally found my perfect eye brow product; I could probably go without the nude and the carbon shades but the two browns are what I have been looking for for a long time. I only wish I had bought this palette sooner, it would have saved a lot of wasted products!
What do you use on your eyebrows?
