Resign from Bad Brows Now!!!

As Women your Greatest Power lies in Your Brows. A Smart anybody will know to always take any look from a woman very seriously, and eyebrows are those powerful tools that always best emote ones stance and feeling without a word being said.

This brings us to the importance of speaking against #BadBrows. There's a pool of many options one can opt for, for today our focus will be on the most requested; The Intricate, Clean, Graphic, Bold and Striking Brow. (My FAV)
Above are 6 Easy steps in Mastering #TheMuziBrow or more popularly known, #TheInstagramBrow

The greatest foundation in conquering this beauty is the initial Shaping. Threading works wonders for me, waxing remains a no no cause I can't induce early wrinkles on Myself. Once you've achieved your desired shape, it becomes a 'Walk in The Park' literally!

1. Comb Out your brows using #MACCosmetics Clear Browset Gel to keep them in Place.
2. Draw a line at the Bottom & Top of your brow, fill in between those lines adding intensity of
    Colour from roughly the middle of the brow to the tail. #MACCosmetics Eyebrow Pencils will
    Always remain my Go To #products as they are precise and give instant gratification
3. I am a great fan of natural highlights under the brow, using a concealer that's a tone lighter then
    Your foundation works magic. Use a #286 Angled Brush from MAC to clean & further define the
    Brow.
4. Repeat the same process with a #286 Angled Brush, but using a concealer that is your skin tone to
    Clean and define the top of Your Brow (only if necessary)
5. To achieve a natural element, use a #284 Spoodle brush from #MAC to create a soft fade that
    Builds and marries the point at which you started intensifying the brow colour.
6. Take a final look, edit where necessary and You're Done!

Don't be too hard on yourself, the gospel with Brows as any honest #MakeUpArtist will tell you, is that they aren't and will never be Identical Twins, BUT they must be Sisters and a strong resemblance must be seen LOL.

TIP: With finding your colour for #Eyebrow #Pencil always try match it with the darkest part of your hair, or as a safer option, go for what looks Most natural. This of course also depends on YOU, if you (like myself) are Bold & Daring, there's no colour that's too Dark Lol.


#NotionOfComfort: It took me many, and I mean MANY attempts to Master & be Confident in doing my brows, Don't Give Up! Wipes exist for a reason. Shout, Swear & Scream YES, But always Wipe the mistake & try Again. You didn't master Driving on your First Lesson did you? :-) #FailureLeadsToSuccess

I Hope this helps and that all who see it #Like & #Share this #Blog #Post in #Support of my #SocialMovement to curb #EyebrowMurder & minimizing the amount of #McDonalds M Signs, Straight Line, Geometric Shapes and other unmentionables which have sadly replaced many beautiful brows and ruined stunning faces out there.

What Looks to wear, where?!

The greatest struggle we all face in General is deciding on what #makeup look to wear. Things like: it's too dark, too minimal, what are people going to say? always pop in to our minds. On my side it really goes with your current mood, and using your mood is the best tool to make this stage less a hassle.

SIMPLE: You just came from work, you're exhausted, but have a function to attend? Pulling the focus to the Eye, touching up the skin and sealing this look with a nude lip would be my option. Why? Well if I'm tired, and I still have to endure heels & an interested smile and aura, the last thing I'd want to add on that list is remembering to constantly touch my bold lip focus, right?!

But hey, the Beauty behind Make Up really isn't the finished look, but Rather the logical fact that the phrase "Each to his own" applies fully to the world of Make Up. Receive guidance and opinions yes, but ALWAYS Do You Boo Boo.

For now let's just put Photo's to the talk. Seeing that today is a Thursday, (Well done for surviving The Week LOL) let's look at Quick and Fast looks for the Office, that you, with minimal effort, can rock into the night.


Natural Make Up will always be the best for all working women. It requires less time and effort, and makes one look professional, and ready to lock any deal. 
HOW TO: After your normal skin routine, put on your foundation, pat a minimal amount of #maccosmetics Prep + Prime Highlighting Pen just under your eyes. This brightens and lifts that area,  blend it in with your Skin Powder. A light colored metallic or shiny eyeshadow is perfect for the eye lid area, complete the look by using a Semi Dark Earth colored matte eyeshadow in the crease, also smudge the same color subtly below your lash line. Shape & Define your brows, and sign, seal and deliver this look with a Natural, Glossy Lip.

That's a Basic guide with how to master Day Look/ Corporate Make Up. Now let's take a look at how we can change it up a bit, you know for the fun it. Work doesn't need to be boring or a nag, not when there is #Fashion AND #MakeUp LOL 


Change It Up! A Simple, Clean and intricate winged out Liner is also a quick and easy look for the week. My Trick to master this liner is to draw a line as if you're extending your bottom eye line, and pull the end of that line to the upper inner corner following the natural shape of your eye, end it off by filling in the gap. This does need PRACTICE!!! 


You can go slightly Dark on your Crease color, just don't cross the line. Still keep it's oft, professional and just make sure you still look approachable and not intimidating.



Have Fun with Color! Lips, Lips, Lips... Yes, if eyes at not your strong point, opt for a winged liner, or just lots of mascara and make the lip your focus. The world is your oyster here. Matte Lipsticks work best for me, as they require less touching up. However if you have dry lips or are in an environment that's highly Air-conditioned, just always put a lip conditioner on your lips before the Lipstick.


Now if waking up for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday was not enough to excite you, I trust playing around with these #MakeUp does the trick. Do feel free to post any questions you have related to achieving the looks up here. You can also go on Instagram, Post a Pic and tag me; where necessary I will add tips and help.
