how to: cover your eyebrows

i thought this would be fun to show you, it's really easy and surprisingly takes little time to! it is fab for halloween or april fools whatever you want! once i covered one of my sisters eyebrow and she went downstairs to my parents screaming saying 'madi shaved one of my eyebrows off', and they actually believed her! you should have seen their faces, it was class :)
all you need is:
- a prit stick, non-toxic so it doesn't irritate your skin, i always use childrens glues! i only used blue so it would show up, but it'd be better to use white/clear
- a spatular to paste the glue on
- a high coverage concealer and concealer brush (lighter than your skin tone)
- a loose high coverage powder (lighter than your skin tone)
- your foundation, again high coverage :)

how to do it:

first off you'll need to take the glue on a spatular and then paste it on making sure that you get all of your eyebrow hairs flat, this first layer should be quite thin and make sure it's not too messy, but you will need to make sure that you cover the surrounding skin aswell and not just the eyebrow. then leave to dry
then apply another layer of the glue just to give it a heavier coverage, again let that dry
once the glue is tacky, not completely dry, cover the area with a concealer so you can see no glue or hairs sticking through.

then set this layer with powder, but make sure that you leave time for the powder to sink in. repeat this step again!
then once you have done this take your foundation and a spounge applicator and dab the foundation on, then again set it with powder.

and there's your result!
