Eyebrows 101: Tutorial plus Make Up For Ever Aquabrow VS Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade BEAUTY BATTLE!

Here are my current favorite eyebrow products and reasons why I pick them. Apparently, a common denominator I look for in an eyebrow product is how long it lasts especially since I have oily skin.

Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade - The product is long-lasting, no need to touch up throughout the day. Also available in a variety of colors.
IN2IT Eyebrowns powder - Since it comes in 3 shades, you can mix and match or blend it to get the perfect color to match your hair. It claims to be waterproof but I don't believe that's the case for me at all.
Etude House Color My Brows - This eyebrow mascara comes in, I believe, 5 different shades so that's a good thing. It also lasts throughout the day and is effective at taming unruly eyebrows.
Heroine Make Quick Eyebrow pencil - Not waxy at all and lasts the whole day. It has a super fine tip that lets you draw natural looking eyebrows. Available in 3 shades. Very affordable for its high quality!
Ben Nye Conceal All Wheel Concealer - I use this for highlighting and bringing out the perfect eyebrow shape.
Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow - This truly is my HG eyebrow product. If I were to choose just one product to use, this is it and wouldn't trade it for anything else. It simply lasts forever and is absolutely waterproof!

My preferred angled brush to use with eyebrow products both cream and powder is my MAC 263 Angled Brush. It's got the perfect bristles to apply products and it's just the right size to draw or fill in my brows to get that ideal arched shape.

I was finally able to film and upload one of the most requested videos by my friends and followers. AN EYEBROW TUTORIAL!!! In here you can also see the live comparison for MUFE Aquabrow vs. Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade so you can decide for yourself which one to get. (Or get both, you won't regret either!)

Sweet & Fresh Beauty: A Peachy Pink with Purple Daily Look

#2 Light Brown

I'm still getting the hang of playing with colors so pardon me for any boo-boos. You know I've recently just gotten myself into this whole makeup craze but I'm learning quite a lot. I hope to create looks that enhance a person's features and not drastically change the way she looks. So far I've gotten compliments from friends and family saying how "pretty", "beautiful", or "blooming" I look. Char! Bukad akong atay! Lisngag akong ilong! LOL!

Anyway, today's look that I created is something I think would be great for running errands and looking fresh while walking up and down the supermarket aisle. I know I did with this look. I'm not sure what to call this though... my imagination isn't really working now. But I can tell you this! It's not PHOTOSHOPPED! Except, of course, for the cropping/watermarks/texts/collage.

I love my lashes using my new HG mascara, Benefit's They're Real. My eyes look so awake!!!

So here are the products used to create this look. Most of them can be bought locally though some can be ordered online.

Sweet & Fresh Beauty: A Peachy Pink with Purple Daily Look

I used ELF mineral primer for my eyelids before putting on eyeshadow from L'Oreal Wear Infinite 508 Summer Dusk palette.
Lined my eyes using Victoria's Secret shadow/liner duo. I only used the black liner, not the shadow.
Also used Mary Kay concealer in Ivory and set with Ben Nye Banana powder.
Curled my lashes and applied Benefit They're Real mascara.
Did my brows and set with Etude House Color My Brows #2 Light Brown.

And excuse the duck face. I just love MAC's Freckletone. It's my favorite nude lipstick. EVER.

MAC Freckletone, Lustre finish.

The blush and foundation I used for this look is from Human Heart Nature's mineral makeup line. I'm sticking with mineral makeup for now because it's still so humid and my face gets super oily. :( I can't afford anymore breakouts especially now that my acne is not flaring up as much. I think I'll do a post about my foundation routine as well as my skincare when I have the time or get around to actually doing it.
