Styling Vegan Brows The Eco Way Leave a comment

Looking to increase your vegan brow definition but not sure where to start? Tampering with eyebrows can be a bit of a scary task, but using a natural, organic, vegan brow powder is a great, non-permanent way to experiment. It is also an essential step in many people’s vegan makeup routines. For those that don’t know how to go about it, here is a handy step-by-step to help you nail killer (and eco friendly) vegan brows.

1. Remove any vegan makeup from your face, leaving the skin clean and clear.
2. Using nail scissors, trim any longer hairs, making sure they are all a similar length. You can use a spoolie to ‘fluff’ up the hair to get a better idea of which ones need trimming.
3. Pluck any stray hairs that don’t fall in line with the natural shape of your vegan brows- don’t go crazy!
4. Once you have trimmed and plucked, it is a good idea to moisturise the area using a natural cream or natural balm that can help to soothe reddened skin.
5. Apply any vegan makeup that you may like to use such as natural foundation, BB cream, or powder.
6. Make sure you pick an organic eyebrow pencil that is around one shade darker than your natural hair colour. If you have dyed hair, don’t be tempted to make it match as this is not always necessary.  Be sure to pick a vegan brow powder that is eco friendly, vegan friendly, organic, made from natural ingredients and comes in a non-plastic case!
7. Take an eco makeup brush and dip it into the natural, vegan brow powder. Load up both sides of the eco makeup brush with the vegan brow powder then gently blow on it to remove any excess particles.
8. Using short, sweeping motions, fill in your natural, vegan brows, starting from the front and gradually working your way back. Try to avoid making large, sweeping lines, instead making soft marks around 2-3 cm in length.
9. Work your way back to the tail of your natural, vegan brows, making smaller and softer lines as you reach the end.
10. Check in the mirror to make sure that you are even.
11. Run a spoolie through the hairs if you wish and fill in any gaps that you see.
