![]() Even though my eyebrow hairs are very dark, I don’t fit neatly into any of these categories as I often rely on deep brown shades. The first thing I noticed about Glossier’s Brow Flick was the small shade range black, brown and blonde (what about redheads?). So, eyebrow pens are unknown territory to me. My go-to method is lightly sketching through them with a pencil and then sweeping over the hairs with a brow gel to lock everything in place. ![]() That being said, despite their importance, I don’t really spend too much time on my brows. They really do have the ability to completely change your face, and filling them in first lets me judge how to balance out the rest of my make-up. Just please avoid looking at my left brow for a while…Įvery time I apply make-up, I always do my eyebrows first. I need more practice with Brow Flick, but I will persist. I’d like to put it down to something like the curvature of my face (!) or the extra stretch it requires for my right hand to reach my left brow (!!) but I should probably just admit I’m not that good at drawing on eyebrows. I couldn’t for the life of me achieve the same finish on my left brow. My right eyebrow went on a treat, looking bountiful and fluffy, but like I could have grown it myself. Just be sure to avoid the eyebrows when applying any oil or moisturiser or the ink won’t stick. The idea is just to wistfully stroke the nib across the brow where you need a little extra oomph - for me that’s the measly tail end of my brows - and the semi-sheer ink forms realistic hair-like strokes. Granted, for a felt tip, it is rather sleek and dainty, more like the kind of pen you’d get from a posh stationers and less like the multi-pack, bright-coloured one’s from WHSmith, so I had high hopes. Usually I like a fine-nibbed, waxy crayon like the Anastasia Beverly Hills pencil everyone goes mad for or Max Factor Brow Shaper, and a sh*t tonne of clear brow gel (shout out to Blink Brow Bar’s new, insanely glossy one) but I’ve never, ever found an inky pen I’ve actually gotten on with. ![]() They have a bit of basic structure and the kinda feral wily hairs I’m into, but they are so bloody sparse, l always fill them in.
