The farther i've digged into the makeup world, I've discovered too many different types of makeup products that as time goes, the list keeps going on and on. So buying makeup can be hectic if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. Trust me, I usually feel that way. Thus, you should know the different products and how it will fit what you need.

Today's series starts with the amazing, brows.

There a a lot of types of stuff you can put on your brows actually so for now here's a text walkthrough and for a post soon i'll put up a photo demonstration!

1) Brow Pencil

Ah yes the classic brow pencil. There are 2 types for this one too. The classic pencil which you'd need to sharpen from time to time (which I honestly find annoying) and the retractable type. The most common shades for brow pencils or any brow product in general are in the shades like dark brown, light brown, black and blonde. Different brands have different names of naming the shades of course. Retractables also come in various sizes. Some have it in a triangular shape to ease on brow filling and some are thick or probably even thin to simulate brow hair when drawn on. The disadvantage of a retractable pencil is that it does break a bit more easily then a classic pencil.

2) Brow Gel

Usually brow gels come in small pots or little tubes and you'll need a small angled brush to dip it and then draw on your brows. The thing about brow gels is that you'd need a really steady hand and some good brow skills. Honestly, beginners not recommended. Anyways, brow gels are also the BEST products to achieve eyebrows on fleek as most MUA's use. You'll need a light hand to shape your brows and to control the amount of product you have on your brush. You basically make it or break it. But, brow gels usually stay put for a very long time and can be waterproof even. Compared to brow pencils, it's a little more time consuming. But so far, i've been stuck on using them that I don't use brow pencils anymore.

3) Brow Powder 

Brow powders are the best products if you're trying to achieve very natural looking brows or to set in your brow gel drawn eyebrows. Usually when buying brow powders, it'll come in sets of a few shades. The purpose of that is to mix the shades to get the ultimate shade you desire, I mix black and the dark brown to get a really dark brown but not black shade and I find that I like that mix of shade the most. When buying brow powders, note that you will also need a small angled brush.

4) Brow Mascara 

Brow mascaras look like mascaras except they're for brows. There are two types you can find usually and it's the clear invisible brow mascara and the coloured eyebrow mascara. What eyebrow mascaras do is that they hold into place your brow hairs so they don't get too messy at the end of the day and they stay on fleek 24/7. The invisible clear one does just that whereas the ones with colour can help in filling in your brows. Of coursely the ones with colour comes in various shades and they can be used just like that for natural filled in looking brows or you can use them for extra fleekness after you've drawn on your brows. Usually, this product is extremely useful for those who have very sparse brows as this also will create small short brow hair strokes.

5) Brow Highlight & Concealer

Brow highlight comes in a few shades like light pink, beige and white. This product is to be used on your brow bones to highlight that area and to make your brows look more raised. It can even be used to conceal a few areas to clean up the brow area making it look much cleaner.

6) Other Brow Tools

A few other brow tools you might find very useful would be a tweezer to tweeze your brow hairs out to shape them brows. A spoolie to comb your brow hairs and to even out your brow makeup eliminating all the harsh lines. Some who have trouble drawing their brows even use a brow stencil. 

And then again, if you're still confused, never hesitate to ask for the help of the makeup store assistants because i'm sure they'd assist you in finding just what you're looking for. But for now, here's a heads up!
