Celeteque DermoCosmetics Eyebrow Defining Kit

Hey dears!

Since most of us in the Philippines are familiar with the phrase "kilay is life," I think it is safe to say that many who likes to apply makeup agree that having well-groomed and defined brows is important to achieving a great makeup look.

I have struggled in finding the right products to achieve this. I find that my brows are a bit tricky to work with because they aren't even and the hair is thick. Even the thickness from the inner half to the outer part is too different. And so, I've tried brow products in different forms such as pencils, powders, gel, and mascara. Right now, I'm somehow content with what I use to achieve a decent brow and that is that there should always be a brow mascara at all times but I still need another one to fill some spaces. So I try out different kinds like pencils, etc.

Considering that I've experimented with products and use more than one for my brows, I formed this curiosity (or fixation...?) to try and try products from different brands in various forms. I guess it's a good thing for a blogger to have that so I can share my experiences to my readers. 

Anyway, enough with my story and on today's main topic. It's about the...

How to deal with Eyebrows

Trace writes: The face framers make a difference – I (T) used to neglect my eyebrows until a Laura Mercier MUA from Rustan’s Essences, Robinson’s Place told me to fix them up because they suck. No, she really really didn’t say that, but I knew she meant it that way!

Anyway, the formulas can be confusing – as cosmetic companies keep making all sorts of products to tempt us hopeless consumers - but you can take your pick as regards to what’s good for you based on the following pictures and reviews:

Bare eyes

Eyebrow Mascara/Wax

Product: E.L.F. Studio Treat and Tame ($ 3) in Dark

Review: As a mascara, it tames the brows well and gives only a slight brownish hue. So if your eyebrows are thick and black (D) or if they are sparse and light, this may not work for you – the former because it may give you a weird off-brown color, and the latter because it’s not super pigmented to allow you to shape your eyebrows. However, if you use an angled liner brush and take some of the wax off the mascara brush and draw on your brows, you can make it work! This product is cheap too (this was ordered from, but there may be stocks already at Watson’s outlets that carry E.L.F. products) and includes an eyebrow grower mascara (clear side).

Brow Pencil

Product: Laura Mercier Eyebrow Pencil in Blonde (PhP 795)

Review: The shade is unmatchable – this is a soft gray pencil that really flatters most people since it is neither too light nor too dark for Filipinas. For women with dark brown to black hair, it may look weird to sport brown eyebrows, so this shade does the trick. The sad thing? We sisters hate constant sharpening to use makeup pencils! And this product will definitely not last long because of this need to achieve the perfect tip for drawing the eyebrows =(

Powder

Product: MAC Eyeshadow in Espresso (PhP 800)

Review: This is pretty sulit in our book because it’s dual purpose – it’s a nice, pigmented eyebrow shader and a basic, cool to neutral brown eyeshadow! One of the best investments – I (T) have had mine for two years now and it will last a couple more. Get yourself an angled eyebrow brush to go with it.
