Hey guys I'm here with a post all about dyeing and shaping my eyebrows!

My eyebrows are something that I tend to get a lot of questions about so I thought I'd share with you some tips that I have on how to maintain them yourself. In this part of Brow I will share with you how to look after them and then in a couple of days/ weeks show you how I fill them in.

So, I've never had anyone else touch my eyebrows, whether that be shaping or tinting them as the thought of it actually terrifies me quite a bit. My absolute number one tip, which I know everyone says is DO NOT OVER PLUCK! Luckily I never got tweezer happy when I was younger so I haven't had to spend years growing them out again. However I am currently trying to grow them out a little more so they are more fuller naturally.

So this is my step by step guide to how I maintain my brows

1. Photo 1 is before I have done anything to my brows, they're not too bad but could do with tinting again and a bit of a tidy up. So gather up all the supplies you'll need which are tweezers, eyebrow scissors, a spoolie brush and you're favourite eyebrow tint. My personal favourite is Eyelure Eyebrow Tint in Dark Brown.

2. Step 2 is to brush your brow hairs upwards and apply the tint. I won't talk you through how to mix the dye etc as that's all explained in the box. However the Eyelure dye says to leave on for only a couple of minutes, whereas I like to leave mine on for atleast 10 minutes to get the darkest colour I can.

3. Now you'll want to remove the dye and brush the hairs upwards to prepare for cutting and tweezing them. Now as I'm growing my brows out I won't be plucking to much, but just grabbing the little stray hairs that are just a little too far down. Althought you might want to grab every little hair you just have to look at your brows and imagine the shape that you'd like. For example in my right brow there are a couple of hairs that look out of place, however once the others have grown through the brow should be the shape I want it.

4. Last but not least step four, trimming your eyebrows with scissors. You want to brush the hairs upwards with the spoolie to see what hairs are too long. Then very lightly and little by little start trimming away. I only like to cut the first quarter of my brows and allow the others to fall naturally. I just find that on me particularly when my brows our filled in, this helps to keep them looking as natural as possible.

I hope this post was helpful to you and part two about filling my brows in will be up soon!
