They say eyes are the windows to the soul, but brows? They’re the perfect frame. As a tired mum, I don’t always have time for a full beauty routine, but I’ve found that a little brow boost makes a world of difference. A full, defined brow instantly lifts my face, making me look more awake and put-together - even on the busiest of mornings. And the best part? Achieving the look doesn’t require a salon visit or expensive treatments - just an £8 product and a few simple steps.
If my brows are looking a little sparse or lack definition, a DIY tint is my secret weapon. It’s a quick and easy way to enhance my natural shape and add depth, making them appear fuller in seconds. I start by cleansing the area thoroughly to remove any makeup or oils. Using the Eylure Brow Tint in Dark Brown, I mix the dye and activator together as instructed. I carefully apply it to my brows, ensuring I stay within my natural shape. If I go over, I just clean up with micellar water and a cotton bud before the tint sets. I leave it on for around 10 minutes ( follow the specific instructions on the packet), then wash off thoroughly to reveal darker, more defined brows.
To take it up a notch, I layer on a tinted brow gel to add volume and create a fluffier effect. Then, for all-day hold, I finish with a clear brow gel to set everything in place. The result? Natural, fuller-looking brows that last all day- even through school runs and endless errands.
No micro-blading, no expensive treatments - just fuller brows in minutes. Whether I’m going for a soft, natural finish or a bold, structured look, this simple routine ensures my brows always look their best with minimal effort.
