Brows: Pencils, Pomades and Powders.

all about the brows blog

Remember the days when brows weren't that much of a 'big thing'? Looking back on pictures of my high school days, it looked like I just had a massive forehead and no brows. You gals with light blonde eyebrows will know exactly what I mean. LOL. When I left high school, I discovered eyebrow pencils. I was using my Rimmel brow pencil for about a year, it weren't that great and I didn't really know how to use it. I just made light strokes over my brows to give them a colour. I may as well have just tinted them, why didn't I do that anyway?

I then moved onto using an eyebrow powder alongside the pencil. I used the pencil to outline my eyebrows and fill in any patchy areas and then filled them in with the powder. This routine seemed to work quite well but when I started getting more into makeup, I wanted them darker. Using powder is such a long winded process as it's so light, you have to keep building the colour up. Plus, it also fades throughout the day if you don't use an eyebrow gel after to seal them in place. I soon realised powder weren't for me and that's when I turned to pomades.

Eyebrow pomades have always worked wonders for me. They're pigmented, you can create precise hair strokes, you can fade with it or build the product up. I've found that they're the best to use for my light eyebrows. Sometimes when I have freshly tinted brows, I stick to the pencil for a few days until the tint fades so the colour isn't too harsh.

What products do you use for your eyebrows?

  4. I never use pomades because I always end up using too much product! I usually opt for a brow pencil from Kiko!

  7. I used to use the rimmel pencil, but it always made my eyebrows too warm for my actual shade. At the time, I was bright naturally blonde with dark eyebrows, it was an eye sore believe me. Even without the pencil! I've been using Rimmel's Brow to go for a while now as it's a pomade and powder duo but its the perfect shade and tone for me. PLus it's cheap!
