Hi everyone! So I have two questions:
1.) I am wanting to fill in my eyebrows just cause..sounded like fun:) but I have an eyeshadow (naked 2 from the naked basics palette) that works great, but I am wanting to try an eyebrow pencil. I am wanting natural looking eyebrows and so I didn't know if in your guys preference I am better off sticking with the powder, or if getting a pencil is good?
2.) my eyebrow hairs are extremely unruly if I don't take them with a gel. But the one I have (covergirl clear mascara) only holds them in place for around 2 hours and then it falls off. Anyone know how I can keep my eyebrows in place all day long..and preferably a cheap way?
Thank you guys😊

For a natural look I use a brow mascara, I like to use the loreal brow artist plumper. This brow mascara has some fibers in to which makes my brows look fuller and also keeps them in place all day. When I want a more bold brow I will go in with a pencil first and sculpt out the shape I want and then I set it with my brow mascara.

I like a natural looking, clean but not sharp brow. So I prefer to softly outline with either a pencil or a pomade, then lightly fill in with a powder or pencil. I also use a gel too. I don't like using a powder alone. I like either pomade & powder or pencil & powder. A gel is optional for me.

I use maybelline brow drama, looks like a mascara, I have unruly brows also and it works really good

Thanks Sam! I have the benefit gimme brow currently, and it's okay but it doesn't hold my brows in place at all! Maybe I will try that

The eyebrow gel holds everything in place, the one I sported in my last video stayed in place and intact the whole day and it was hot and sunny

Use the eyebrow pencil or the powder it's a lot easier to work with.

Pencil holds color in the brows better. Brows fade too quickly with powder. get a clear brow gel to hold it it place
