My Favourite Brow Products

Hello everyone,

I am going to talk to you about my favourite brow products, apart from Blush and Lips, brows are my favourite part of doing my makeup, simply because they make so much of a difference to any look, they are a key staple in my makeup routine. I personally think everyone should do something to their brows, wether it's just shaping or filling them in, it makes such a difference and makes everyone look a bit more out together, they stand out and change/shape your face.



Maybelline Brow Satin Brow duo (£5.99) - This is a great drugstore eye brow product and it's a very unique one. This has a pencil on one end which is perfect for shaping, then you have a sponge with brow powder on to fill in your brows. This is very good and gives natural definition to your brows, perfect for beginners who are just looking for natural definition. Link

Anastasia Brow Wiz (£15.50) - This is a very staple brow product as in pencils are the easiest to use and the most common, a lot of people may own this because it is very easy and convenient. This has a brow brush on one end to distribute the product and to blend harsh lines, this needs to be used with a light hand as pencils can come across very unnatural and harsh at times. This is a great product for travelling as well as using on the go or if your in a hurry. Link

Benefit High Brow Glow (£16.50) - This is more for the people who want the very slick and strong brows, this can be used to highlight all round the brow for definition or can be used in certain places such as under the arch of the brow for a crisp arch. This this a good product but it's not a staple for many people, I don't use this everyday but this can make a big difference. Link

Real Techniques Brow Brush (Can't but separate £20.99 for set) - Their aren't too many good brushes for a cheaper price compared to Mac etc, but Real Techniques is greta quality this brush can be very natural; because it's bigger than some brushes, meaning it looks natural as it doesn't add too much products, great with most powder products not too much cream. Link

Anastasia No 12 Brush (£15) - This is now my favourite brow brush for cream products, it adds more definition because it's smaller, this is also very precise for creams. This is a the perfect brush as well because of the brush on the end, it blends products out like no other. Link



Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade (£15) - Speaking of cream products above, the reason why I brought the No 12 brush is for this product, the Dipbrow Pomade is one of my favourites! Perfect for definition, you don't need a lot of product and a little goes a long way, I would also recommend using a light hand since you don't want it too harsh. I would say for everyone to try this because it's so easy to use that it can't really go wrong. Also the best thing about this is that it lasts forever meaning you don't have to worry about it throughout the day! Link

Mac Eyeshadows (£13) - You may of heard about using eye shadows for brows, well for me the best eyeshadows for this is Mac. I have Charcoal Brown and Omega which are both Matte shadows, for your brows you want to use mattes since their not sparkly etc. These two colours are the best for brows I think and would suit any colour brows. These can also still be defining as well as natural, it just tends on how much you use etc. Link

HD Brows Palette Foxy (£19.95) - This is one product I had always walked to try as HD Brows as a brand made your brows look perfect! This is a lovely palette again for travelling, but because you have so many colours which is great if you tend to go for different looks. 

Benefit Gimme Brow (£18.50) - This is one of my favourite products again, this is a life savour when your not looking to do much with your brows, great for every day! This gives slight definition and keeps them natural. This is amazing on it's own or layered with other products such as the Mac eyeshadows. This is perfect for beginners who don't want too much product or definition. Link

Anastasia Brow Powder Duo (£17) - This is again a lovely product from Anastasia which keeps your brow natural but defined. I tend to mix the two colours together to create the perfect colour and definition. This is easy to use and great to carry with you on a daily basis. Link

Benefit Brow Zings (£24.50) - This again is another of my favourite products, this is perfect for creating definition and a precise look to your brows. I first apply the powder then go in with the wax to set them and to add more colour and definition, this is pricey but will last you ages, this is easy to use and works perfectly every time. You can also create a more natural looking by using either of the products on it's own. Link

Mac Favourites

Hello everyone,

I have a blog post on possible one of my favourite brands... Mac! I am going to share with you my favourite mac products, but I am also going to show you 5 products as basics and everyone should try, then also another 5 products for add ons if you fancy some more of my recommendations to hopefully try.



The Basics -

I am thinking of these products as in, if all of my mac products were taken away from me these are the 5 I wold keep, but obviously it all depends on what you class makeup products as basics.

To start with I have the Mac Keepsakes beige eye shadow palette, this was limited edition for Christmas 2014, but Mac do these pallets all the time. But these are just generic mac eye shadows, these a good quality eye shadows which are very pigmented. My favourite colour in this palette is Omega, a strongly recommend colour my Tanya Burr. I definitely want to try some more colours because I have two mac limited edition pallets now, and their both great quality.

Mac have some very well known products, and the Mineralise Skin finishes are very well loved by many. This colour is Lightscapade, a lovely every day colour with a hint of natural shimmer. I also have soft and gentle which is a beautiful gold shimmer, which is more appropriate for evenings or some day time with a light hand. 

Another eye product which is of course the Paint pot in painterly! This is such a lovely base for any eyeshadow, this keeps your eye shadow from creasing, evens our your lids as well as acts as a eyeshadow it's self. This is great for everyday, especially along with a inner corner highlight your eyes look lovely. But if you fancy one with some colour, Let's Skate is a light pale nude pink with shimmer! Perfect if your not the best with eyeshadow.

My favourite things from Mac has to be their lip products, to start with their Lip Pencil in Spice it's the perfect nude, stays for on ages as well as acts as a base for your lipsticks also these are priced really well, their not too expensive for high end makeup. The last lip products is any of my mac lipsticks, this is Angel in the picture a wonderful light pink for everyday! If you fancy some darker shades Plumful and Rebel are stunning.


The Add ons -

To start I am going to briefly mention Soft and Gentle mineralise skin finish, again a beautiful gold that would suite anyones skin tone.

Next is a product I was wanting for around 2 years, every time I went to go and buy it they never had my shade but I finally got it for my birthday. This is is Mineralise skin finish natural in Light plus. A wonderful powder that looks very natural because it's finely milled. 

Onto a blusher, I have two blushers now and this is Rosy Outlook. A very light natural pink which looks beautiful with lightscapade and a defined contour. Also it's very natural so it would suite a smokey eye or bold lip, a perfect blush if you fancy something light and pinky.

I now have the Mac Studio finish concealer in NC 15, this is a very high coverage cream concealer, I love this for redness or on blemishes it covers them great, I prefer to use the the pinpoint technique with this concealer, it bends well and does't budge. I don't use this under my eyes as it can become quite drying after a while.

Lastly is a makeup tool, this is the Mac pencil sharpener. This is a staple in every makeup collection, but this also is very durable and sharpens your pencil very well.


What are your mac favourites?
