Full eyebrows are all over the cat walk and fashion week. So ladies, put down the tweezers and spend a bit more time between waxing/threading. Full eyebrows can bring a lot of attention to your face and frame your eyes beautifully without much effort. To make them look the best they can be and forward with this thread, follow these easy steps:
1 & 2. Groom them appropriately. Take your time tweezing strays and trimming your brows by brushing them up and carefully following your shape.

Winged eyeliner is definitely a challenging technique to master – but I’ve laid out the steps for you to make the process as easy as possible. You’ll need a black liner of your choice and a black shadow with an angled brush to create the look. I suggest using a gel liner (or any liner that comes in a pot form) to create a wing because it tends to be the easiest and most forgiving of the liners.
