What's the best way to fill in the eyebrows? And how do you choose the right color?
Hello!
I don’t think there’s really any “best” method anymore, because brows in general have become such a big deal that people are trying all kinds of new ways to fill them in, change the shape, and accentuate them. It would really depend on the look you’re going for! Finding the right color is easier than you think. When looking for pencils it might be a bit more difficult, because they come in only a few set shades, but powders are unlimited because you can just use any old eyeshadow! You should use one that’s 1-2 shades lighter than your hair color.. unless you’re a blonde like me, in which case you should use a color 1-2 shades darker than your hair ;) Also, if you have black hair, I advise against using black to fill in your brows (use charcoal or dark brown) because it will look very fake.
For instance, if you’re looking for a totally natural, everyday, your-brows-but-better kind of fill, I think the best way is to just use a powder (eyeshadow or brow powder) on an angled brush. Use quick, upward strokes through your brows to fill in any sparse patches. Finish your brows and make them waterproof by swiping a bit of brow gel or clear mascara over top of them.
If you’d like a more dramatic brow look, like the popular “airbrushed” or “ombre” eyebrow, use a mixture of both powders (for filling) and pencils or gel (for outlining). Make the tail very defined and fill it in completely, but just underline the rest of your brow. Use the powder to fill in and blend out any harsh lines, keeping the inner parts of your brows the lightest. Here’s an example a la ChrisspyMakeup:
And of course, the only way to make your brow fill look any good is to have perfectly manicured eyebrows! Trim those bad boys to keep lines straight even without a pencil. For more eyebrow info/tips/recommendations, check out THIS
Hope this helps you! Brows are all about trial and error, so don’t get discouraged if your first try doesn’t work out.

Do you know of any good dupes for Benefit's Boing Concealer (shade number 3)? Or any good concealers for oily skin?
Benefit Boi-ing Concealer - $20
This is a highly coveted concealer that (for me) isn’t quite worth the money. There are a few dupes out there for this particular concealer, like:
NYX Concealer Jar - $5
These have the same consistency, formula, and coverage - but NYX’s has more colors to choose from.
Other good concealers for oily skin:
Hard Candy Glamoflauge - $6
Super full coverage, long lasting, matte finish (my HG)
Revlon Photoready Concealer - $8
Very full coverage, long lasting, but very creamy
Maybelline Superstay Concealer - $6
Medium coverage, matte finish, liquidy texture
Hope this helps you! :)

Hi :) do you know where I can buy the XL bottles of the UD setting spray?
Hey girl! They don’t make the XL bottles anymore because they changed the packaging, but the large bottles ($29) are the same size I believe. You can still find some of the XL bottles in the old packaging on Ebay. Otherwise hit up Ulta or Sephora! :)

What's in my Travel Makeup Bag - Romantic Beach Vacation
On a whim, my other half whisked me away to Myrtle Beach for a week! Generally I’m the type who needs weeks to plan, but I’m pretty happy with the way the whole trip turned out and with what I brought along. Now I’m back in the real world all tanned up, drunk on sunshine, and *officially* engaged!
Keep reading to see what products I remembered to pack and why I chose them out of all the goodies I own!
Hello my beauties! I’m sorry for neglecting you, but I’ve been on vacation in Myrtle Beach. I’ll be back on in full force by the weekend! <3
