There’s one easy way to get a face that’s unforgettable, and that’s by having the perfect brow. Often time people have asked me if I stuck on my brows but the answer is very simple its called: brow grooming.

You have to understand that to get the brow that you want and suits your face, you shouldn’t be tweezer/razor happy. Give your brows time to grow. You always get the best of your brows when they are in their natural “unshaped” form. Also, fix an appointment with a makeup artist or an aesthetician to help you for the first time. If you watch attentively you could do it yourself the next time.

Here’s 2 quick and easy ways to fill your brows.

Products Used

Brow Pencil

Spoolie/Brow Brush

Concealer/Highlighter

How to

Method 1

I usually start by brushing my brows with a spoolie brush then I start filling the brows from below. First draw a line (the line shouldn’t be thick, just faint to emphasize the brows) from the beginning of your brow to the highest point (remember, we are starting from the bottom). Then draw the top line from the beginning of the brow to the highest point. Then from the highest point (arch), fill the brows to the end. Already your brow should be looking defined. Next fill in between the top and bottom lines you’ drew earlier. Don’t fill in the pencil too deeply so your brow don’t look to dark. Comb through with spoolie brush and remember to do that at intervals.

Method 2

This is one method I don’t use every time but one in a while I’ve had to use it on a couple of my clients. Not that I’m saying it’s a difficult method, I just don’t use it very often. Using this method after brushing your brows out with the spoolie brush, apply your pencil from the highest point of your brow to the end. Then carefully fill in along the line of your natural brow. Remember to fill in lightly and use your spoolie to reduce excess product on your brow.

After filling my brows I usually highlight before I use any color on…I prefer to use a concealer just a shade lighter than my skin tone. To do this apply just a little concealer with an angled brush beneath your brow and blend into the eye area.

To give it that extra pop…use a little foundation/concealer above the brow, the effect is unbelievable

Do try this and let me know how know how its helped your makeup routine…ciao!!!

Hello people,

In my last post I did a brief gist-up about the Khuraira review seminar that held here in Abuja.

So I thought to let you know more about the makeup brand and the brain behind it.

Khuraira Musa (founder of Khuraira Cosmetics) has been a celebrity makeup artist for over twenty years. She grew up as an orphan in Jos Nigeria and was later adopted by an aunt who struggled to provide for her. She was later able to leave Nigeria in search for greener pastures where she honed her skills and passion for makeup artistry working alongside the best in field such as Laura Mercier and Trish McEvoy.

Having travelled nationally and internationally teaching women the hottest makeup trends and helping them create their individual makeup styles developing her own makeup brand wasn’t farfetched.

Her years of research and meeting women with makeup need helped her create a makeup line that simplifies beauty.

Khuraira Cosmetics is a line of makeup products infused with skincare adavantages. The lin also includes age control line of products which include a face primer, foundation, concealer and dark circle primer. All the products are infused with anti-oxidants and peptides (amino-acid) which help to firm the skin.

The powder, cream foundation and stick foundation are soft and silky smooth, does not cake on the face and believe me when I say they are extremely suitable for the woman of color and our temperate Nigeria. The eyeshadows come in a confusing array of colors and are mineralized for a longer lasting application. The mascara (volumizing and lengthening) are to die for, say au revoir to false lashes and lash curlers, because Khuraira mascaras are in town!!!

And the lipsticks!!!Infused with moisturizers and vitamin E comes in an array of vibrant colors and is guaranteed to stay on your lips for hours. The lip glosses are luscious and delicious. Whether you’re wearing it alone or with your lipstick you can be assured to look like a diva.

The invisible powder has generated amazing reviews from individuals and TV shows, the powder appears chalk white but when applied it keeps your makeup looking true to its color. The invisible powder has been recommended for use on TV shows and has been the all time number one choice for news broadcasts, Oprah, Dancing with the stars and so much more.

As Bellezza Faces partners with Khuraira Cosmetics in Nigeria, we will be giving out makeup products from the prestigious makeup line. So keep following us and watch this space for our very first giveaway.
