My Eyebrow Routine: E.L.F. Eyebrow Kit

Filling in my eyebrows is only something that I have added  to my beauty routine this year. I never understood why people chose to fill in their eyebrows, as eyebrows were never really something that I took that much notice of - or so I thought, but now I have a completely different  view. If you have great eyebrows they will be the first thing I pick out to compliment you on, although it is a bit of an odd compliment, credit where credit is due!

Now, I have tried my fair share of eyebrow pencils, fillers, gels etc. but my all-time favourite product has to be E.L.F.'s eyebrow kit.

This kit contains one eyebrow gel (step 1) and one eyebrow powder (step 2), and only set me back £3.75! I use the double-ended brush that came with the kit, as it performs perfectly for me. I don't like long-handled brushes as I find them harder to control, so the short accompanying brush is perfect for my use.

This is the condition of my natural eyebrows. I have never had them professionally waxed/shaped/threaded (although I'm looking into it), and simply pluck them on a weekly basis with stainless steel tweezers.

This is the same eyebrow after only using the two products inside E.L.F.'s eyebrow kit. In my opinion, I feel that the products provide a lot more shape (depending on how you use the angled gel brush) and make a massive difference colour-wise. The sparse, fine eyebrows are gone, and now give the illusion of thicker brows, without looking artificial. This is achieved from the very fine powder; by gradually building the colour up, you can easily avoid the obviously drawn on look that some people fall prey to. The gel will also keep your brows in place all day - no more stray hairs!



What's your opinion on the E.L.F. eyebrow kit? Do you have a different favourite eyebrow product?

  4. Really cool post! My eyebrows are the last step that I added to my daily makeup routine within the past year, but now I find myself not being able to go out if I do not have my eyebrows filled in! It really does make a HUGE difference! :)

    1. This one is in shade medium, I'm very dark haired so I was going to get the dark but as it was all sold out I settled for this and it's a great colour match!

  7. This kit looks the same at the benefit one, but at a fraction of the price! Have you tried the benefit browzing? I wonder how they compare? I have tried a few e.l.f products, and have noticed a few of them are very similar to benefit products...

    Great post :) X

    1. I've not tried the Benefit one, maybe I'll get it as a higher end replacement for this one when I get a bit more cash though - thanks for the tip!
