Brows speak louder than words.
Eyebrows – by far one of the most noticeable and nit-picky features on the face. I’m definitely the biggest critic of my own brows, but that’s because I’ve been so mean to them in the past. This is NOT a blog about how I think my brows are on fleek and how yours can be on fleek too. Instead, this blog is about some of the products I use and love that have gotten me to a place where I’m finally happy with my brows. Because let me tell you… I have not always been happy with my brows. Let’s start with a little background story.
I’ve been on quite the brow journey. For starters, I grew up in the early 2000s so I of course went through the same phase that every other girl did by making my brows as skinny as I possibly could. Take Gwen Stefani’s picture below as a reference. This honestly should have been illegal but that’s a whole other story. Then, I seemed to have one bad wax job after another. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted or what I should be asking for, yet continued to keep getting them waxed regularly. Smart, Tay. And then a tragedy happened. I went to get my brows waxed and the aesthetician legitimately took off half my eyebrow on each side…. I screamed. It was not pretty.
It wasn’t long after that incident that the big, fluffy brow trend came along. I sadly could not participate. I became soooo insecure about my brows that I wouldn’t allow myself to see people or take photos without them being “presentable”. I made a decision after this appointment to not let anyone touch my eyebrows for a very long time, three years to be exact. Flash forward to today and you could say that I’m a little bit of a freak with my brows. I’m very particular on who can touch them, and oftentimes I would rather be the one to do them over anyone else. PTSD perhaps??
Here are some amazing brow products that I use for makeup, as well as for hair regrowth:
Brow Microfilling Eyebrow Pen by Benefit Cosmetics
I’m obsessed with this eyebrow pen. I don’t use this everyday but I do if I’m going for more of a glam look. It has three ultra-fine lines in one stroke to make your brow look more full. I really like using this on bald or patchy spots.
Preciously, My Brow Pencil by Benefit Cosmetics
This is my everyday brow pencil and it’s by far my favourite out there. The tip of the pencil is ultra-thin which allows for super natural-looking strokes. It’s also somewhat waterproof which is a bonus. No one does brow makeup products better than Benefit does. That’s the truth!
Organic Castor Oil by Ecla
I had heard that castor oil is great for regrowth so I bought this brand off Amazon about a year ago. I was pleasantly surprised! I use this product in conjunction with the Miskoka Beauty Growth Serum and the results are insane. My brows grew back in like no one’s business.
Lash and Brow Growth Serum by Miskoka Beauty
I swear this product is magical. I used this when my brows were at their absolute worst and within four months I had my brows back. I recommend this product to anyone that is having troubles with regrowth for their brows. It also works wonders on your lashes!
24-HR Brow Setter Clear Eyebrow Gel by Benefit Cosmetics
The. Best. Brow. Gel. Ever. I only started to use brow gel once my brows actually started to grow back but I loveee it. It totally changes the look & shape of your brows. I also have long brow hairs so using the gel helps to hold those suckers in place all day.
These are the products that have changed the brow game for me. My brows are by no means perfect, but I feel SO much better and so much happier with where they are at now. It may sound dramatic but it’s the only hair on my face so I want it to look good, okay?! Because let me tell you… if I had a dollar for everytime I’ve heard my bf complain about his facial hair…. $$$$$$$$$$.
Here’s to happy, hairy and healthy brows!
Until next hump day…
Peace & love!
