Billion Dollar Brows.

So I'll start this by saying I am definitely a powder and brush kinda brow girl and have been ever since I can remember.

However, a few weeks ago, I was very kindly sent a brow pencil by Billion Dollar Brows. I was quite nervous to try it, having not used a pencil for these bad boys since I was about 19... so... forever ago!

The packaging I think is actually really well made. You know how most pencil make up items, when they have lids, the lids either break as soon as you put them in your make up bag, or they don't fit properly after taking them off one time, as if the act of removing them has made the size diminish?!
Well! This little wonder has been shoved into the bottom of my bag on many an occasion since trying it and as yet, it is still holding strong. This impresses me very much... little things and all that jazz.
I'm well aware the lid isn't on in this picture - but i'd just used it and forgot to put it back on - forgive me.

Now... does it work...? I do have to say.. it has taken time for me to get used to this... but that's because I'm severely kak handed, so don't necessarily take that as a negative!
I think... I'm getting there though... Here's a few pics from the first day up to today of how I used this.

There's slight improvement there right?

I found it better for me to use it to make the shape of my brow and then fill it in with small light strokes to make them look as natural as possible, and I have to say the spoolie on the end definitely helps with this. After I've done the above, I make sure to brush them into the direction I want them.
I have also been using a bit of powder over the top to make it more defined... as I'm a scaredy cat... This could definitely be done with the pencil... maybe on a night out I'll get a bit braver?
I also use the powder just to ensure that I cover any obvious pencil marks at the start of the brow so the whole brow flows better.

This is how the website describes the pencil:

"Formulated to work beautifully with most skin tones and hair colors, this amazing eyebrow pencil goes on smooth and natural. Plus, the Universal Brow Pencil is automatic—it never needs sharpening and it comes complete with a spoolie brush on the opposite end for effortless blending and a perfect finish."

I will definitely be continuing to use this as although it is out of my comfort zone, I need to get sued to using different products for different things. I have also spied some eyebrow gels on their website that I need in my life to try!


Much Love,

Tk,
