*tapping*
Hello, y'all.
I don't say that.
Oh, this is really weird, you can't see my mouth.
Hello, friends. I thought I would show you how I do my brows today.
Something to note, this isn't, like, a regular routine because nothing is ever regular or routine in my life.
Also, I have this wonderful thing in the middle of my nose so I have chosen A TIME to do this.
I'm not very good at this, I am opening myself up here to criticism, I know.
My eybrows are like Marmite. You either love 'em or hate 'em. And I honestly don't know yet.
Anyway, here are my natural brows, basically.
Wow, so up close!
As you can see, they're kind of like, gray? They don't really match my hair color.
Also, they're not shaped too well, like if I let them grow completely they'd just be like fat brows.
*laughs*
I've had a lot of comments on my brows, I don't know why.
But yeah, this is how I take care of them, I guess.
I have recently been rubbing castor oil in them, I heard that's good.
I also chopped off the front bits because I saw that that was a good thing to do but I regret it.
Hence the castor oil.
Um, what else?
Before I start, I like to look at Pinterest or make a little board or something of people's eyebrows I like.
But whilst planning this video, I realized that I mostly just look at this vlogger called MsRosieBea.
She has the perfect brows. And every single picture that I was posting on my boards on Pinterest were just her.
So yeah, if you're looking for my brow inspo, it's just her brows.
Anyway, we will begin.
So I guess I start by... ow!
Ew, that's so gross!
Plucking away all of the obvious hairs that don't belong there.
Ow.
I remember in like, magazines and tutorials, everyone would always tell you that you must NEVER pluck above the brow.
You always should pluck from underneath. And I only recently realized that I don't have to stick to that rule.
I don't even know if it applies anymore. Was that just a '90s naughty thing?
I don't know!
Anyway, I realized that I want my brows to be fairly long and straight.
I don't really enjoy this arch too much.
I've watched so many brow tutorials this is not a good one, don't watch this.
This is just how I do it, okay?
Anyway, we're gonna get rid of those annoying ones at the top.
*singing* There are gonna be so many people telling me what I'm doing wrong!
*talking* If you would like to tell me what I'm doing wrong, please do it in a nice way.
I don't think I want them to be so thick anymore I want them to be long and thin, like MsRosieBea.
Rosie, would you ever do my brows?
Please?
I can't believe I'm plucking from the top! Someone stop me!
I'm sorry, this video must be so out of focus.
I can't tell if it's good or not. I have no idea.
Is that good?
I have the most annoying monobrow. They're just like little strands that I will ever be able to fully get rid of.
But we gon' try!
Ow. Ow Ow. This is so annoying.
I don't understand people who have, like, a clear line of where their brows begin and their monobrow ends.
I just don't have that.
Ow!
God, plucking my eyebrows just makes me wanna cry.
Like, that's the number one reaction I have to annoying pain.
Ow!
Here's the thing, though, I do kinda like it.
There's something satisfying about, you know,
*makes plucking sound effect*
*heavy breathing*
So long, arch.
So long, arch-nemesis. My arch.
Did I make a funny joke?
Yesterday I uploaded some, like, cathartic video about me meeting fans
and then me fangirling.
And today, I'm just ripping hair follicles out.
That's what you get on VEDA. ~Ding!~
Aah!
So as you can see, I've kind of tried to keep them straight and long.
Hmm...
*singing* Sisters not twins...
*talking* So, for dyeing my brows, I use this, which is, you guessed it, what MsRosieBea recommended.
It's really fun to do, and I'll show you how it's done!
Meep!
*singing and harmonizing* You take a tube of the stuff and you squeeze it in a pot.
Mix it up with the liquid, of which you'll need a few drops.
It's pretty simple, you don't need a song, but here's one in case you fancy singing along.
*talking again* Take off any oil that's on your brows.
Then take your fun concoction and paint it on the way that you want!
And I just do cleanups with my hands 'cause I'm lazy.
I feel like it dyes the skin moreso than the hairs...
*singing/harmonizing* This is a bit of a boring video, so I thought I would speed it all along.
*talking* What I also like to do now might be a little cheeky.
I have kind of a few natural freckles, right? This stuff stains brown, so you know.
Maybe I'll just dot on a few more.
We'll leave this on for a long time. But then again, that is someone who really likes dark brows, so....
See you in a bit!
Bye!
Alright, it's been awhile, I'mma take this off.
Has it been awhile? Has it been enough time?
Mmm, okay, I'm leaving it on.
Alright, that's enough. Time to remove it.
I feel like my brows are burning.
They look a bit darker!!
Cool!
Alright, this is cool.
I can show you a little before and after of what it looks like.
*humming*
Now I'm gonna put on my makeup and show you how I fill them in.
BRB!
Now, arguably, my brows looks absolutely fine as they do right now.
But oh well!
I've currently run out of my favorite brow pencil. I love using brow pencils 'cause they're just easier.
I used to use Benefit but I'm trying to go cruelty-free and they are not, which sucks.
Please go cruelty-free, Benefit, I love your brow pencils.
Anyway, so I'm currently using the Too Faced palette and a little bit of that castor oil
to kind of thicken up the brown shade. Ooh!
I essentially just did what I did with the dye.
Look, I'm terrible at voiceovers, okay? I've established that by now.
I also concentrate along the bottom, here, and try and make that as straight as possible,
which I'm not doing a very good job of.
If I had my pencil, I'd add some little fake hairs here. But, alas, I don't.
So I'll just brush up my real ones.
Very nice. You see?
Ugh, Dodie.
*singing/harmonizing* My new EP comes out in two days. Why am I making a video about brows?
*talking* Then I get some clear mascara, just kinda brush 'em up.
Oh, they look great out of focus!
Here are my finished brows!
Looking forward to all the judgmental comments?!?
Alright, happy VEDA, and I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye!
