Alyssa's Eyebrow Routine | TheMakeupDiaries

Hii everyone! First off Roshelle and I are sorry we haven't been posting as much. We have been extremely busy with school and other activities but, we have some amazing blog post ideas coming you way! Just bear with us.. haha. Today, I decided to do my eyebrow routine!! I was supposed to post this a few weeks ago but never found the time! Filling in my eyebrows is something I always need to do, I feel so naked with out them. They frame my face and bring out some of my features. Filling in my eyebrows also helps bring my look together! One product that I've been using for a really long time would be the Anastasia Beauty Express for Brows and Eyes Kit. It has everything you need to fill in your eyebrows perfectly! It comes with wax, 2 eyebrow powders and 2 highlights! It also includes an angled brush and some stencils... it's seriously the perfect kit! I love it so much and I don't know what I'd do without it! But, before I get into the tutorial here is some background information about my eyebrows. I started getting them threaded at the beginning of grade 8. Threading is amazing! It's a little scary at first but, you get used to it. I have to admit it hurts but it's over before you know it and the results are wonderful. Your eyebrows look so clean and defined! I recommend trying threading out to see of it's for you and trust me there's no going back once you try it! Also, try not to get them done too often otherwise your eyebrows might get too thin (unless you prefer them that way). Using tweezers and plucking them once they grow is good. Just maintain them and wait a few weeks before you get them done again. I personally get mine done every month. Now let's get into the tutorial step by step!


  • Start by plucking any stray hairs and combing through your brows with a spooly. Apply a wax to tame your brows if necessary (I just skip this step, it's all personal preference) This step will prep your brows and get them ready for the fun part.. filling them in!
  • Use an angled brush and apply the eyebrow powder onto your eyebrows using a light hand. Fill them in following your natural brow shape and use small strokes.
  • Once you finish filling them in, apply a gel to keep them in place. This step is optional and I often skip it.
  • To finish and make your brows look more defined, apply a highlight onto your brow bone. I prefer blue toned pearly shades similar to Urban Decay's Virgin eyeshadow.
