My husband and I went walking at a strip mall/plaza last week and I picked up a few items. I wasn't planning to film a haul video, but I got some requests to make one, so here it is!
I think the reason why I feel like I don't shop a lot anymore is probably because whenever I shop, I find really good deals so it doesn't feel like I am using a lot of money on clothes, etc. which makes me feel like I don't shop anymore. Does that even make sense? Lol.. Have a great day! = )
The shape of our eyebrows can make us appear more youthful or age us by years so it is important to have a nice set of eyebrows to frame our face. Thicker brows call for a more youthful appearance, while thin and highly arched brows call for a matured look. I'm not a fan of thin brows because it makes the face appear stiff and dramatic, which isn't a very pretty look. Highly arched brows creates the illusion of a facelift that can really age a young person. We're only young for a few years so I am in no rush to get old or look old. ; )
There are three types: natural, fill in, and drawn in. Natural is as natural as it gets, with no products or anything to enhance the brows. Maybe just a little plucking for shape, but that's about it. Filling in the brows consists of very light strokes to the sparse areas, to achieve a fuller look, while keeping it more on the natural side. Drawn in brows as the name says is actually drawing it in because the brows would be invisible without it. I would advise against the last one because it a lot of time, it results in looking very fake.
I have very sparse and thin eyebrows so I do like to make my brows a lot thicker than it's natural shape. Here is my tutorial on how I achieve my brows. It actually doesn't take a lot of time. If you're a beginner then it will take a little longer, but it will get easier with more practice. Btw, I am using Mac's brow pencil in Spiked.
Rule of thumb for choosing the correct color:
-If your hair is really dark/pitch black, you'll want to stick to black or a really dark brown. Black hair with brown eyebrows just doesn't look good together.
-If you have dark brown hair or lighter, you'll want a color that is 1-2 shades lighter, but no more than that. You don't want your eyebrows to be that much lighter than your hair. You want them to be as similar as possible to achieve natural looking eyebrows.
-If you have blonde hair, you'll want a color that is 1-2 shades darker so that your eyebrows won't be washed out.
