A lot of us are feeling the pinch at the moment, here are a few tricks to use in your beauty regime to last you through to next pay day!Fake an eyebrow wax:
You are doing your makeup in the mirror and you notice your brows are out of control and something must be done about them immediately! But there is no funds or time to get to the beautician. Here's how to fake it:
Step 1. Brush your brows up and towards the outside of your face with a eyebrown comb or a toothbrush. This will at least get the hairs that are meant to be there in a nice uniform shape, helping distract the eye from those unwanted hairs below...
Step 2. Put some concealer on your middle finger and trace on your skin around the outline of your brows. Don't try to totally cover each hair and make them disappear, you are just aiming to increase the contrast between your skin and your eyebrow hair!
Step 3. Find a shade of eyeshadow 1 color darker than your brows with no shimmer to it. Fill in lightly, ideally with an angled brush. If the color looks too dark, follow by pressing on loose powder with a puff.
