Eye Of Horus Cosmetics - Brow Fibre
I have a love hate relationship when it comes to my eyebrows, I know that they are not that bad eu natural, but my teenage years spent plucking the to about 1 hair line thick, has not done them any favors! They have thickened up, thank goodness but they are not even which is my issue.
I have used brow gels before and like how they hold my brows in place to I was excited when the brand Eye Of Horus agreed to send be a sample of their brow gel.
I like the fact that this is a fibre gel, so it ,makes the brows appear thicker as it holds them in place. it is also tinted which helps define your brows that little bit more. it comes in 3 shades ( light medium and dark) I chose the dark shade.
The packing is lovely its in a matte tube which I think makes it stand out really everything in my makeup drawer seems to be shiny! I love the applicatior brush to it is a perfect size! It kind of reminds be of the Benefit Gimme Brow. Its the perfect size as I have found some brow gels, the brush to be too big and I just end up making a mess!
I'm not going to lie and say that this is a miracle product, I think that as with any eyebrow gel you do have to have fairly thick brows to begin with, its not going to adear to hair that simply isn't there. I used my Makeup Revlution Brow Pomade, which I love by the way to define the shape the bottom of my eyebrows, which is the bit I alays find to be uneven, I then used the gel over the top, I think that it doe give me lovely defined brows, I'm pleased to say that they lasted me all day to!
You can find the brow gel and more products from Eye Of Horus HERE
It is also stocked at Beauty Bay

Evening Makeup
I got time to have a play with my makeup before going out tonight. I loving having the time to experiment
I started by moisturising my skin I love the Simple light moisturiser then primed with the Loreal Paris Skin Perfection primer. I used the Nip and Fab eye roller about my eyes. I have found that this has helped to moisturise my eye area and I think it has helped with my eye bags a little to!
Next I moved onto my eyes. I primed my eyelids with some concealer I used the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in light, I find that a concealer works just as well as a eye primer and works out cheaper I can also use this under my eye.
The eyeshadows mostly came from the Urban Decay Naked 3 Pallette. Starting with strange which is the lighter shade as a highlight then limit to blend the crease and the outer corner. I built up colour in the outer corner using Mugshot and Factory. I blended it with my real techniques blending brush. I finished with Dust one the centre on the eyelid and the inner corner. I used some Bikini-Tini from Benefit, this is a champagne cream eyeshadow. I used this on the centre and the inner corner. I then finished with some Mac Reflects gold for a glittery finish. I used the Collection 2000 Extreme felt liner across my lash line, then Maxfactor Masterpiece Mascara in Black to finish my eyelashes. I felt like I didn't want to add false lashes to this look. I filled in my brows a little with the Rimmel Brown pencil in Dark Brown
Next for foundation. I have been loving Maxfactor Face Finity 3 in one foundation. Which I applied with my beauty blender. Next I concealed under my eyes with the same collection 2000 concealer. I then set this with my loose translucent powder. I gave this a bit of time to settle on the skin. Once I have brushed this away I used the Seventeen Instant Glow Bronzing Rocks under my cheeks for some contouring. I used the Makeup Revolution Golden Lights highlighter across my cheekbones and temples.
That was the finished look. I actually wore my hair straight for a change which i actually really liked
