Tutorial: Using Anastasia dipbrow

Leave a comment

I have people ask me how I do my brows, occasionally, so I figured I would do a little pictorial to illustrate it! I used the Anastasia brow wiz pencil for a long time, which I like well enough, but I was never able to create the gradient from the inner brow to the tail that I wanted. I switched over to Anastasia Dipbrow as soon as I changed my hair from ginger to auburn red, and I was really pleased with the results! So here it is!

Mmmm, look at those thin, transparent little caterpillars... for me, totally fine for a day of lounging around and binging on Supernatural (YES I AM ONLY JUST NOW WATCHING IT ok?!), but let's say I want to go out into public and feel bad ass... not so great. Let's remedy this issue.

Whew, it’s been a long week! I’ve been recovering from tonsillitis (you know, being sick as an adult is TOTALLY different than being sick as a kid… you keep thinking you should be able to get up, drive around, go to work any moment, when in reality you’re a sad little feverish blob and in no way should be allowed to respond to your work e-mail… sorry co-workers!), so it felt SO good to be able to sit down and have a good play date with my makeup vanity! AND I received not one, but TWO My Pretty Zombie blushes from my amazing swap partner in the r/MakeupAddiction Summer Exchange, so what better reason to play around with some killer blush?

Let’s look at swatches!

Duochromes are the gateway shadow drug of the indie world. Those of us who love makeup have our mainstream favorites, of course– I adore Laura Mercier shadows for their smoothness and blendability, and many of Tarte’s Amazonian clay shadows are creamy and pigmented beyond belief. But there isn’t much out there that is quite like a really good indie duochrome. And believe me, Femme Fatale Cosmetics has some really good indie duochromes. So you can imagine my excitement when my portion of a group buy arrived yesterday!!

Let’s take a closer look!

I finally have an indie nail polish to post about!! Eeee! It took a while to hop across several ponds, but my Femme Fatale polish order arrived this past week and everything is soooo beautiful. I’ll do a little post about each of them, but this one is Lunar Halo, a gorgeous beige with silver, blue, and green shimmer. It is natural enough that it’s wearable in every-day life, but the iridescent glitter makes me feel like a princess.
