Hey Guys, I hope you all had a fab bank holiday weekend and now feel nice and rested, or like me it's made you even more tired! However it's now time to get back to work and today I'll be showing you how I fill in my eyebrows! I decided to keep one brow natural and fill in the other just so it's easier to how much of a difference it makes

Products I Use:

Soap & Glory Brow Archery Eyebrow Powder 

Eyebrow Brush

Spoolie

Concealer 

Concealer Brush

Step 1: As you can see from photo 1 I do actually have a decent eyebrow shape and luckily they are fairly full throughout, however nothing looks better than a properly filled in brow. So first step is to take your spoolie and brush the hairs upwards at the front and sideways through the rest.

Step 2: I like to take a lighter eyebrow shade and firstly draw a line under the brows to help define the shape

Step 3: Then I like to draw a line on the top part of the brow, leaving the front part bare. Next I like to fill in the middle part of the brow and then what is left with the rest of the product gently using upwards strokes fill in the front part of the brow

Step 4: To help with the graduated look I then like to take a darker eyebrow colour and fill the tail of the brow in with this shade. I like to do my eyebrows as natural as possible at the front and slowly get darker and darker towards the end

Step 5: Last but not least which is a step that makes such a massive difference to the overall look is to carve your eyebrows out with concealer. I like to do this in a shade lighter than my foundation to help highlight the brow as well. Also this is great for if you have made any mistakes as it helps to tidy them up

I hope you all found this helpful as eyebrows are one of the most important features on the face and can make such a difference if they're done properly!

Hello Everyone! Today I'll be writing about one of my favourite makeup products, concealer. Now even though this post is all about Maybelline, even it was called my top 3 favourites, these 3 would still be it!

First of all we have The Eye Eraser (Shade Light). This is a very popular concealer on social media and all for a good reason. It's very light weight yet has a really good medium - full coverage. I use mine in the shade light to highlight under the eyes, forehead, down the nose and chin.as well as concealing dark circles. 

Next up we have the Fit Me concealer (in the lightest shade). Same as the eye eraser I use this concealer not only to conceal dark circles but to also highlight all over the face. Sometimes I even tend to layer this one on top of the Eye Eraser for an even more intense look. 

Lastly we have the Superstay 24 Hour (Shade 3). This concealer is very full coverage and therefore very good for spot concealing. It's very long lasting and blends easily into the skin. However my only negative with this one is that the colour range isn't that great. If I am very tanned even this darkest shade would still be to light. However I find this problem with pretty much all drugstore concealers.

I'm yet to try any higher end concealers, so if you have any recommendations, let me know!
