Hello wise ones. So recently I decided to make a bit more of an effort, having completely let myself go over the past two years mostly on account of stress and tiredness like many people. I’m 41 and average height / build / skin etc.
First I thought I’d try wearing lashes. So I bought a few different types. But for love nor money I cannot get them to work. I tried the magnetic ones but you need more of the eyeliner than I like wearing… mostly as it has to be thick enough along the centre of the lashline to hide the little magnets. Then I tried the MAC ones with MAC duo glue and I cannot get them to stick! I’ve watched videos, let them go tacky etc… but how on Earth do you get them on… at an angle. And which ones can I get for a more natural look? There are hundreds.
Then the brows. Omg the brows. Like many people my age I have overplucked brows from my twenties but they are dark, and they’re a decent shape. Just not much of them. I want to try to brush the hairs upwards to create a bit more volume… I’ve tried Anastasia brow freeze and the wax pencil but within five mins the hair just goes back to pointing along the ridge of the brow again and I’m left with a waxy mess. How do you get these stubborn hairs to stay in place… pointing up??? And then filling them. Ffs. I tried the pomade and as soon as I brushed it out it smudged. I think I also went a shade too dark. Problem is to shape the ends is really hard as I have so little hair there and it just looks like a patchy mess.
Please help oh wise ones. What are your tips and what can I do???
