I am a big believer that well-groomed eyebrows can transform a face. A lot of girls leave this step out when doing their makeup but I think by just shaping and setting your brows it will frame your face and complete your look. I love using MAC charcoal brown eye shadow to fill in my brows and then setting it with a clear brow gel. I also use the HD brows set (review
here) plus have many times thought about adding the Benefit Brow Zing or ELF Eyebrow Kit to my makeup collection. Late last year
Sleek released their brow kit and ever since then have read rave reviews. So when I was in Superdrug the other day and it was just sitting their staring at me for only £7.99 I couldn’t resist giving it a go!
The Sleek Brow kit is available in two shades; light and dark. I decided on the light version which suits my colouring perfectly.
What they say “For perfectly shaped, groomed brows look no further than Sleek MakeUp’s brow kit. Complete with all the tools you’ll ever need for brows that flatter and frame your face, choose from two shades in light or dark to compliment your natural colouring. Just a few simple steps are all it takes for preened and polished brows!
The kit comes with a pigmented wax (right), setting powder (left), an angled brush, blending brush and even wee tweezers to pluck out any stray hairs. This all in a nice handbag sized compact complete with in-built mirror so perfect for on the go! Swatched is powder on the left and wax on the right.
I have been really impressed with this brow kit and it’s now part of my daily makeup routine. I start by combing my eyebrows into shape and then apply the wax, which has a lovely smooth texture, along the natural shape of my brow to create a perfect arch. Then I apply the setting powder to keep the wax from slipping off and fill in any sparse areas.
For on the go the little brushes provided in the kit are fine but at home I tend to use this angled brush by EcoTools.
