With the innate power to effortlessly frame the face and make everything look all the more fabulous, it’s clear to see why we women are prepared to spend so much time and effort transforming our eyebrows.
At some point or another, we’ve all had brow envy (a deep feeling of envy towards another woman and her flawless eyebrows) - it’s only natural.
But why fixate on someone else’s eyebrows when you can get to work on making your own even better?
After a good two years of over-plucking, I finally decided to let my eyebrows recover from their time with the tweezers when I was about 17. Don’t get me wrong, I’d never gotten to the point of just having two very thin lines like a lot of girls did back in the day, but my brows were significantly finer than they are now - and they just really didn’t look good at all.
Fortunately, like I say, it didn’t take me too long to realise that what I was doing wasn’t working for me, and I set out on a mission to make my brows thick and luscious again (cue several Google searches, including ‘how to make eyebrows thicker’ and ‘how to make eyebrows grow fast.’)
Fast forward many years, I’m now 28 and my brows are looking good. It didn’t take me over ten years to get them to this point, don’t worry, I’m just saying that I’m happy with them, and they’re still doing great.
And you’ll be in love with your brows again soon, with a little help from me!
For this blog post, I thought I’d share my top tips on how to transform your eyebrows, get the perfect eyebrow shape and ultimately, get your best brows ever! I really hope you enjoy the post & that you find this useful.

Top tips for perfect brows
- Chuck out the tweezers
Okay, so you don’t necessarily need to actually throw them away, never to be seen again. But, it is important that you keep your mitts off them as best you possibly can. The trouble most of us find with tweezers is knowing when and where to stop. What starts off as a quick ‘tidy up of the strays’ often leads to something else, and before we know it, we are back to square one. Just don’t go there. - Take hair and nail vitamins
Hair and nail vitamins are a great idea whether you’re growing your eyebrows or not, but if you’re determined to get thicker brows, then a good quality vitamin is a great place to start. Brands such as Hairburst, Sugarbearhair and Holland & Barrett all offer high quality skin hair nails vitamins that will help stimulate the growth of your brows. - Try an eyebrow growth serum
Personally, I’ve never actually used a brow growth serum, but some of them are supposed to be really good. I’ve done my research and some of the most highly rated brow serums include the Rapidlash Rapidbrow Eyebrow Enhancing Serum, Grow Gorgeous Hair Growth Serum and Pronexa Hairgenics Eyelash and Brow Serum. - Invest in a good eyebrow pencil (and apply in strokes!)
This is super important if you really want to get that perfectly polished look on a day to day basis. Drawing your brows on solidly will look unnatural and harsh, so instead, try applying less pressure and using soft brush strokes. This will fill in any gaps in your brows without looking obvious. My favourite eyebrow pencils are the NYX Micro Brow Pencil and the NARS Brow Perfector.
- Always use a spoolie
It’s hard to remember life before the spoolie days, right? Spoolies are just so handy and you can often pick them up free when visiting beauty counters, so there are absolutely no excuses with this one - every woman should have a spoolie! I always keep one in my handbag just in case my brows need a little tidy up throughout the day, and I also use both before and after applying product to my brows, just to make sure they are extra fluffy and perfected. - Try an eyebrow mascara
Eyebrow mascaras are like magic - just a few strokes and brows look a thousand times better. They’re also completely fool-proof, so, if you struggle to apply eyebrow pencil or eyebrow gel, if nothing else, just be sure to have a brow mascara. I love the Benefit Gimme Brow and Rimmel London Wonder'full Brow. The smaller brushes make for a super precise application. Winning.
I love this brow mascara from Rimmel! - Make your brows part of your evening skincare routine
If you read my recent blog post 'My Evening Skincare Routine', you’ll know just how important my evening skincare regime is to me. What you may not know is that my brows get extra TLC at this time of day, as well as my skin. I always massage a bit of my Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream into my brows before bedtime, and of course, I spoolie them, too. - Get your eyebrows done professionally
And finally, if you really want your eyebrows to look flawlessly on-fleek, then of course, a trip to the salon is a must. I've been getting HD brow treatments for years now and I swear by it. Other treatments like Henna Brows and Brow Lamination are beginning to take over a little bit now, though, so as soon as I'm not pregnant and I'm allowed to use eyebrow tint again, I will 100% be booking myself in for a fresh set of Henna Brows. My mum swapped to Henna a few months ago and the results last so much longer than they do with HD!
And there you have it! Everything you need ton know about getting perfect eyebrows, all in one place.
I really hope you all enjoyed this blog post & I can't wait to share more with you soon.
Until next time, lovelies!
Lots of love,
