Welcome beauties.  Well this is my 3rd post in my bow to the brow series.  Thus far I’ve shared ways to enhance your eyebrows by using a powder with an eye brow wax,  as well as an eyebrow pencil, with a setting serum.  Today, I've saved the best for last, which is a tinting lift with a lash enhancing serum.  I say best for last because this one is fool proof. So, if you are new to perfecting your brows, this one is quicker and the easiest!

For this part of the series I partnered up with the LASHEM brand. Lashem was developed to help women everywhere feel BEAUTYful.  Whether you are a working out of the home or a stay at home mom, Lashem has something for you.

About The Product:

1. So what exactly is a tinting lift? It a hint of tint, achieved with  a brush on gel, kind of like a mascara for your eyebrows.  This formula helps to keep your eyebrows looking full and perfectly in place, by filling, tinting and sculpting.
2. Don’t let the name tint, scare you.   While the formula is long lasting, it is not permanent. It comes off easily with a makeup wipe.   This is why I call it a hint of tint!
3. The applicator: This tapered brush helps to distribute the tinted gel precisely and evenly to fill in gaps while sculpting your brows. I was happy with how it really allows for perfect shaping, enabling you to go from barely there to beautiful brows in a few easy strokes!
4. This product is paraben-free and contains a brow enhancing serum to promote healthier, stronger, thicker looking brows.

How To:

• First you want to pick the correct color. The Lashem Colour Strokes Brow Tint is available in multiple shades: Blonde, Brunette, and Raven. IMPORTANT:  I made a mistake in ordering brunette as I didn’t want to go to dark.  The brunette is actually pretty light in color.  So, if you have dark hair like myself I recommend getting Raven. And no worries, Raven is not so dark that you’d have to worry about, here comes the brows.  It too is settle, but does a great job.
• Similar to all brow products, I like to first start out with the connect the dots approach. When all connected, will form a v shaped arch (with softer angles) for the perfect brow. Click here to see exactly how.
• You want to apply the gel in short upward strokes along the brow. And no worries, this product is also flake and smudge proof, letting you to use short pressing strokes to fill in the areas where there are no hairs.  

So, if you're looking for full natural looking eyebrows, Colour Strokes Brow Tint gives you just that and with a 30% discount!  Yes you read right! Lashem has given me a discount code to share with my readers.  Simply enter in BROW30BB and you're off to beautiful brows in no time!

The bottom line with this bow to the brow series,  is no matter what product you use on your eyebrows  it is in addition to your eyebrow maintenance.  Getting them threaded, plucked or waxed is not enough.  That is like getting your hair cut but never styling it, you need to taking your brows to wow!

This month I wanted to bring to you some great products that are used specifically for the eyebrows.  And today is going to be the first post in my "BOW TO THE BROW" Series.  I have been approached by a few companies to review some of their eyebrow products and wanted to share them with you.

However, before I get into the products, I wanted to first touch on the importance of a great eyebrow.   Similar to  a great frame that can take an ordinary picture to a different level.  I view your eyebrows as such.   Great looking eyebrows can form a frame around your eyes taking them from Boring Brow to Brow-tastic in a matter of minutes.

The first product in this series is a Kohl's exclusive, by Billion Dollar Brows.  This best sellers kit is great as it has most everything you need in one kit, making it an economical purchase!  For only $34.99 you get an universal brow pencil, brow gel, smudge brush and a dual highlighter!

See Below How You Can Transform Your Eyebrows In 

5 Easy Steps!

Step 1:  Apply Brow Pencil

Product: Billion Dollar Brows Universal Brow Pencil - This universal pencil is a self-sharpening pencil which goes on smooth and natural for all hair colors and skin tones.

How To: I always use the eyebrow mapping approach with 3 dots, when using an eyebrow pencil. (See image below to the right)

Start with the corner of your eye, closest to the nose to measure the starting point of your eyebrow.  Place the universal brow pencil vertically from the inner corner of your nose to the inner corner of your eye... Place a vertical line here indicating the start of your eyebrow.

Point 2: The Arch: Align the pencil horizontally from the tip of your nose to the outside center of your pupil or the middle your brow bone, place a dot.  This is the arch & the highest point of your eyebrow, so keep this in mind when placing the dot.

Point 3: The End: Align the pencil from the outer corner of your nostril to the corner of your brow to place your final mark.

Once you have completed, you want to connect the dots and fill in the brow with tiny strokes; think of tiny hairs when applying the pencil.

Step 2: Blending

Using brush (located on the other end of the brow pencil) blend the pencil into your brow hairs.  IMPORTANT: You want your brows to look natural, drawn on eyebrows are a big no, no.

Step 3: Highlight

Product:  Brow Duo Highlighter - This was a great bonus to get this.  I really liked that it has both a highlighter and concealer!   Brow Duo highlighter gives you an instant eyebrow lift.  Perfect for most skin tones.  It allows you to highlight your brow bone, and for those quick needed touch-ups, the universal concealer comes in quite handy!

How To Use: Apply a line of the highlighter under your brow following your arch as well as above the arch, with two small dots.(see image above)

Step 4: Apply & Blend

Product: Smudge Brush-This synthetic straight edge brush is great for applying creamy products, like the highlighter.

How To Use: Gently blend the highlighter into your skin and the brow line to frame & define!
 
Step 5: Set

Product: Brow Gel Clear -  The finishing touch for giving your brows a polished, manicured look.   This gel will allow you to seal the deal so to speak, by locking in your look, keeping your brows perfectly in place all day.

How To Use: Apply the wand applicator over the pencil creating the perfect brow.

So there you have it ladies, no more guessing! Begin your beautiful brows now...WOW!

Brow Mapping: The Key To The Perfect Eyebrow

A great frame can take an ordinary picture to a different level.  I view your eyebrows as such. Your eyebrows form a frame around your eyes taking them from Plain Jane to Glamorous Brow in 3 easy steps.  These steps are called eyebrow mapping.  Now there is really no map, but rather a method to defining the perfect shape of your eyebrows, by determining where your brow starts and where it ends.  There are 3 points to this map, when all connected will form a v shaped arch (with softer angles) for the perfect brow. 

Start with the corner of your eye, closest to the nose to measure the starting point of your eyebrow.  Place your eyebrow brush or pencil vertically from the inner corner of your nose to the inner corner of your eye... Place a vertical line here indicating the start of your eyebrow.

Point 2: The Arch: Align the brush horizontally from the tip of your nose to the outside center of your pupil or the middle your brow bone, place a dot.  This is the arch & the highest point of your eyebrow, so keep this in mind when placing the dot.

Point 3: The End: Align the brush from the outer corner of your nostril to the corner of your brow to place your final mark.

Once you have completed, you want to connect the dots or lines and fill in the brow with tiny strokes; think of tiny hairs and blend.  Keeping in mind that if you have over plucked or waxed throughout the years, that you may need to fill in some areas to extend your brow to the end line. Finish with your favorite eyebrow kit and viola you've created the perfect eyebrow.
