Eyebrow Grooming Tutorial- SOUP Magazine

The path to well groomed brows is an easy one with helpful diagrams, pictures and lots of practice!

 

Eyebrow Grooming Tools:IMG_5971 

When I first started grooming my brows, I always left out one of the most important step, which is trimming the length of the brow hair. As a result, my brows were always over tweezed or shaved because I was trying to achieve an unrealistic brow shape purely by shaving or tweezing unwanted hairs. I took these super useful diagrams from the Japanese Magazine SOUP and it nicely highlights how to use an arched trimming scissors and a brow comb to trim the length of the brow hairs and achieve a nice brow shape.

They encourage the trimming of the brow length prior to shaving or tweezing stray hairs, which is smart as it helps lessen the chances of over tweezing or shaving and gives the brow a neater appearance.

After you get your desired shape, you can fill your newly groomed brows with a brow pencil, brown eye shadow or eyebrow powder. I like to use both a pencil and some brown eye shadow when I have the time as it gives a very natural yet slightly defined effect.An optional step for even more polished brows would be to use a brow mascara. Any old dried out brown mascara can also give the same desired effect.

Honey Love + Pink Nouveau + Jap. Mag.

 

I am currently obsessed with pink & nude lipsticks and the most important requirement  for such lip shades is that they should not run all over the place.

There is nothing worse for me than to go out and  see runny patchy pale/pink/nude lips in the mirror. It is mortifying cause I have worn some slippery lipsticks b4 and it was mad ugly>< hahaha

So, Honey Love and Pink Nouveau are gorgeous matte lipsticks from MAC. Only downside about a matte lipstick is that it accentuates lip lines. To solve this problem, I layer some gloss over, to prevent it from looking all dry and crinkly.

My mom bought this magazine from Malaysia! Japanese mags are so much cheaper over there plus, it’s in chinese! Plus the makeup and skincare brands they feature are so so so much better than the local Singaporean Mags * yawns*!
