Using EyeShadow on the Eye Brow

I  don't know if you ever been in a situation like me before, but I suck at using eye brow pencil.  I carry the "Look here, I used an eye brow pencil to draw!" kind of look, which translates to me either looking animated or  fierce and ultimately, weird.  I guess it has to do with the fact that I have a rather thick eyebrow.  I dislike it looking unnatural and it always does when I use an eyebrow pencil.

So, one fine day, I turned to my eye shadow and started using an angle brush with it on my eyebrow.  I was instantly surprised at how natural it looks, and how a little of the eyeshadow transforms the look of my eye brows!  I love it.  Here's some of the eye shadows I used for my eye brows:

Artistry palette - brown shade

Maybelline Eyestudio Black Forest Cake - dark brown shade

Jay Jay Envy palette - grey shade

Mind you, some of the colors don't actually look nice when I applied it on my eye lids, so now I have a good use for them! hehe

As you can see, I don't use black at all because my hair colour hasn't been black for a while lolz.  I tend not to use black though, partially because I prefer a more natural colour and black tends to look odd.  Maybe cause I am quite fair.

Do you use eyeshadow for your eye brows?

Well Defined Eye Brows

I'm now blogging at http://dailyfemme.blogspot.com.  Do drop by and visit :)

Was reading on TotalBeauty when I came across this article about the importance of well definited eye brows.  I used to have very busy eye brows, until my friend decided to help me do the deed.  Haha, she's wayyy too skilled for her age back then (like 18) and decided that mine looks awful.  Once she did her stuff with me, I was pretty amazed by it and really fell in love it eye brow tweezing.  Sadly though, I am not able to pick up her skills, thus my frequent visits to beauty saloons to do a clean up for me.  Now that I am giving the eye brow threading a try, I'm finding myself enjoying it too.  Pretty much the same price at beauty saloons and the look's much neater.

Talking about that, I'm due for one already! Time to scout for a good eye brow threading bar.  Any recommendation???

Eye Brow Threading

I am always fascinated by it.  In my previous company,  I've had Indian colleagues who always go for face threading and it piques my interest.  But back then, I was still young and am quite scared to give it a try so I gave it a pass.  In the past, there are a lot of people who go for facial threading, because the make up is not as advanced as now and tend not to stick to our skin (figuratively speaking) due to the little hair around our face.  My mom says that usually, people would go for full facial threading when it's their wedding and they need to put on make up.

Oh well, upon chatting with a friend recently, I was really up for it! And so I went scouting to see where I could go to do threading, without me driving like miles and miles off to do so. I ended up at A Listers at Centrepoint.  Mind you, I was doing a bit of research online when I came across them.  I've been wanting to try them out for waxing purposes, at their unit in Sunway Giza, but it's quite tough since traffic could be quite mad heading there after work.  So off I go to Centrepoint.

I'll be honest, I was quite taken aback by the size of the place.  It is small, like just two 2 small beauty rooms.  I was getting a little bit doubtful after a while.  A lady (sorry, bad with names) got me into the room and started doing her stuff.  I was there for eye and lip threading.  I told her it was my first time and she smiled, telling me not to worry.  That really helps because she is nice and friendly, albeit not very good in English.  But she knows her stuff and I kinda felt better.

So how did it go?  It's slightly painful, much like plucking with your tweezer, but slightly more painful.  Well, considering the fact that it's pulling a bunch of it in a go, and not one by one.. haha... I shouldn't be surprised.  And the results?  I'd have to say, it's a lot neater as compared to tweezing.  I have to say, my eye area looks "clean".  I have a lot of small hairs between my brow and my eye lines.  Usual tweezing can be quite painful and most of the sessions I went to have it "clean" up doesnt really do the work.  But I'd have to say this threading totally clean it out and my eyes looks so much fresher too.

So will I go and have it done again?  I'd have to say yes.  I'm already researching to see which one I should go.  Although A Listers does a fairly good job, I'm still new to this and I can't stop the inner experimenter in me to stay at one place!
