Step By Step Guide To Beautiful Brows And Lashes

So, if you are reading this through some sort of a ‘Lockdown’ then I’m sure any LVL treatment, eyelash extensions or brow treatments you may have previously had before have disappeared by now so this is the perfect opportunity to perfect your lash & brows – whether to then continue this going forward or to simply use it as preparation before your next salon appointment. Think of it as prep work to not only just boost your after results but also to maximise the potential! However, you can always benefit from taking care of your brows & lashes no matter what regardless of whether you have regular treatments or not.

We put our eyebrows and even more so our eyelashes through a lot! They deserve an extra bit of TLC but quite often they are forgotten about. We all know how much a coat of mascara or a quick swipe of tinted brow gel can make all the difference in not only our appearance but more importantly in how we feel so why not pick back up these habits? Here we have the low down on all our tried and tested favourites to help you decide......

1- Revitalash Micellar Water Lash Wash

 An essential first step, it is definitely not an item to be missed! Lash Wash successfully and thoroughly cleans eyelashes either to prepare before applying Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner to ensure that direct contact can be made, between eyelash extensions appointments to prevent any bacteria build up, before an extension appointment to get maximum longevity out of your lashes or simply as a gentle, every day eye make-up remover. It can also be used all over the eyelid and eyebrows too. Micellar Water is a product most people are familiar with nowadays and it is a really clever formula which contains unique micelle technology to attract and draw out impurities while also being super gentle and moisturising. It’s no wonder ‘micellar water’ is so popular and something I now always keep stocked in my bathroom cabinet.

2- AQ Skin Solutions Eyelash & Eyebrow Enhancement System

Firstly, I love that it’s a dual product that can be used on both the eyelash & eyebrows rather than having a separate product for either. You’ve got everything you need included in the system – 30 disposable applicators and a ready to use applicator bottle. You only need to apply to the root, don’t waste valuable product by applying all over. I do always find you need to wait at least a minimum of 6 weeks to notice results with eyelash & brow growth serums so don’t get disheartened; patience is key and once you start seeing results, it really does become addictive! Formulated with the AQ Skin Solutions Growth Factor Technology (patent pending), you are guaranteed to start seeing longer, fuller, thicker beautiful eyelashes & brows. I do find that my eyelashes appear more curled too which saves me having to manually curl them myself every morning!

3 Colorescience Mascara – Black

The perfect brush size and brilliant to use alongside any Eyelash & Brow Growth Serum as it keeps lashes conditioned throughout the day with a peptide blend of ingredients! In my opinion, black is always the best mascara colour to make eyes ‘pop’ and striking and even more so if your lashes are short and/or sparse. Apply starting from the root all the way up to the tip and continue to build until you achieve the look that you desire and you don’t need to worry about it going clumpy, flaky or smudging either. Don’t forget a little amount of concealer too under the eyes to really achieve that well rested look – Jane Iredale Active Light Under-Eye Concealer is brilliant. Another great mascara that I love is Jane Iredale Longest Lash Thickening & Lengthening Mascara but also not forgetting Revitalash Double Ended Mascara & Primer - the built in primer helps to prep lashes and enhance volume creating gorgeous, high pigmented, luxurious lashes.

4 Revitalash Hi-Def Tinted Brow Gel

Brows have become HUGE over the past few years and I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t style them in some way! Whether this might be with a brow gel, brow pencil, brow powder, microblading, tattooing, a tint and wax or all of the above! It really is a very easy area to groom but the difference you can make to your overall face afterwards is crazy. Gone are the days of over plucked, sparse brows. However, a product which suits your friend may not always be the best one for you. Gels are like light hair spray for your brows – they help to hold them in place all day long. They are usually best for brows which are already full or in a shape you are happy with although if all you want is a temporary ‘tint’ then a gel would be a perfect match for you. You can choose between tinted colours or a clear version if you’d prefer.

5 Revitalash Hi-Def Pencil

Pencils are without a doubt the most popular product out of any other brow products. They provide a soft, natural looking brow and are so easy to use. They quickly help to fill in gaps or to lengthen tails (the end of the eyebrow). The best way to create the perfect brow is to hold the pencil against the side of your nose – mark here as this is where your brow should start. Next, line the pencil up with the base of your nose and end of your eye so that the product is in an almost side position – mark here as this where your brow should end. Finally, move the pencil up slightly so that it falls through the centre of your eye – mark here as this is ideally where your arch should be. Now you have the outline for the ideal shape! Hi-Def Pencil comes in various colours so there is bound to be a shade that suits you. I would always recommend going lighter rather than darker if you can’t decide.

6 Colorescience Eye & Brow Palette

My personal favourite. Powders create the softest effect of them all however they are very much buildable with the more you apply. Easily blendable, the powder helps to create a shadow behind the actual brow hair making the eyebrow look much more defined and fluffy. Colorescience Eye & Brow Palette comes equipped with a brush too which is really helpful as you will need this. Simply follow the shape of your brow or use the guide above to create the shape you’ve always wanted. Multi use this palette by applying on your eyelids or using as a highlighter on the high points of the face too!

And that’s your easy step by step guide to beautiful brows & lashes! Hopefully you have taken some tips and tricks away to implement right away.
