So the number one most requested email I get is "How do you do your brows?!" Honestly, I have always had a struggle with accepting my brows, so getting so many emails and questions shocked me lol. Shoot at one point I questioned my friends for not helpin' a girl out lmao. I was lookin' straight chola in some old school pictures!
But seriously. I'm glad I'm growing them in and have been really loving how they have been coming out lately. I decided to do a picture tutorial on how I do my brows. I really hope this helps out girls, this is all I really do day to day. Please email me if you have any questions! My email and twitter are always open! queenbmakeup@gmail.com & twitter.com/queenbmakeup
Tools I use:
I like to use this brush comb (but not as much as the below tool) & I also use this Coastal Scents15 piece kit brush to blend my pencil out.
I use this to brush out my brows and create my shape. I got this in a Coastal Scents 15 piece kit from way back, but it's a winner.
(Top to bottom)
Revlon Colorstay Blemish Concealer in "Light" (I like a lighter base for highlight)
Revlon Brow Fantasy in "Brunette/ Brunette (I don't use the pencil because it's too light but the gel is great, not to harsh of a color)
Jordana Easy liner in "Coffee Bean" ($1.99 and the best color I have ever had for my brows!)
(Top to bottom)
Micheal's 4 Royal Soft Grip Brush SG4520 (I use this brush more and only $2.99 from Micheal's!)
Bare Minerals from Bare Essentials Concealer Brush (very nice option but more $$)
Bare brows
STEP #1- Comb out brows. Create a nice smooth shape & make sure brows are in a upward direction.
STEP #2- Take your choice of fill in, Brow Pencil I like to use Jordana Pencil in "Coffee Bean". Draw a Line under the brow from front to tip of brow. Be sure to use a light hand & take your time. Tip- If you have problems keeping your hand still, balance your palm on your cheek and rotating it from front to tip.
Do the same thing on the upper part of the brow. Drawing lightly and concentrating the line not focusing on filling the brow as of yet.
Your final brow outline should look like this:
STEP #3- Take your brush and pull the color from the outside outline into the brow. Filling in the blank spaces in between the brow shape you have already created. Also going over that outside brow shape with the brush filling in any empty spaces.
STEP #4- Now take your concealer of choice, I'm using a Revlon Color Stay Blemish Concealer. You are going to apply the concealer upper and lower around your brows. This gives the brows more of a clean & finished look.
STEP #5- Take your concealer brush of choice. I'm using a Micheal's 4 Royal Soft Grip Brush SG4520 which I just love. Blend out that concealer with your brush while cleaning up that outside line. Tapering the brush along the draw line.
Do the same thing on the upper part of the brow, blend out.
STEP #6- I now take my Revlon Brow Fantasy Gel side and gel down my brows and blending the color even further.
STEP #7- Your brows are now final! Just go over with a lil powder around the brow to set the concealer for a all day wear.
NOW FINISH UP WITH SOME COLOR!!!

Barb,
I appreciate your opinion. Fact is they are perfectly lined up to my nose. "The beginning of your eyebrow should line up in the middle of your inner eye corner and the outer edge of your nostrel."
Btw, People can laugh all they want. I am very secure in the way I look. I"m not going to lose sleep that people laugh at my brows. Personally I should worry more about the people who spend time laughing at brows. :D
Next time give me constructive criticism otherwise you look desperate making remarks "people laugh at you."
Thanks!
Queenb

You make your eyebrow way too close together in the middle. You look a fool. Lots of people laugh about you looking at your pictures.
