With half our faces covered by our masks, the eyes have become the main focus. But that doesn’t mean you have to spend double the time trying to achieve perfectly defined brows, maximalist eyeshadow, crisp winged tips and voluminous lashes.
You can still look good, even If you’re a minimalist, like me. All you really need to do is ensure that your brows are on point whenever you head out. To achieve perfect brows, we have five new products and treatments to help you:
If you’ve already got decent brows but want a bit more definition, or if you’re looking to try the IG fluffy brow trend, then Browhaus’ Brow Lamination can help give the illusion of fuller, more defined and feathery-looking brows.
Essentially a perm for your brows, it starts with the application of cream to lift the brow hair. The therapist then brushes the strands upwards to fill in the small gaps and define your brow arches. Once the style is in place, a neutralising cream is applied to “set” the brows. To finish, the Browhaus Undercoat Lash & Brow Conditioner is applied to nourish the brows, and you’re good to go.
Fuss-free brows? Yes, please. And it lasts for up to four weeks too.
Available at Browhaus outlets. For more information, visit www.browhaus.com
The pencil delivers a powdery texture that won’t flake, which means brows stay looking on fleek throughout the day. No smudging, bleeding, transferring or migrating, once applied. Its buildable intensity and easy-to-blend formula allows you to create either natural-looking or dramatic brows easily, depending on your mood.
Comes in six shades. Available at Tangs at Tang Plaza, Sephora stores, www.tangs.com and www.sephora.sg
This easy-to-use brow pencil will help you achieve natural looking brows in a jiffy. Plus, its 100 per cent cruelty-free and vegan stay-put formula means that it won’t fade even when the weather is hot and humid. From elevating your arches to filling in sparse areas with hair-like strokes, this pencil does it all.
Comes in two shades. Available at selected Watsons stores and www.watsons.com.sg
The semi-permanent, intensely pigmented brow gel creates waterproof brows that are smudge- and sweat-resistant for up to 60 hours. Essentially, you could, but we don’t think you should, not wash your brows for two and a half days! Its viscous formula enables the colour to adhere better to your skin and brow hairs, to give the illusion of fuller brows too.
Comes in four shades. Available from Urban Decay boutiques, Sephora stores and www.sephora.sg
There’s no one better than professional makeup artists to design your new brows, and that’s exactly what Dr Spa has done with its recent collab with The Make Up Room.
With their expert eye for detail, The Make Up Room co-founders Bobbie Ng and Low Jyue Huey – veteran makeup artists with years of experience – will design your “new” brows, taking into consideration elements like how your brow hairs grow, your hair colour (do you regularly dye it a certain shade), your preferred makeup style and of course, your facial features.
A Brow Specialist then turns your newly defined brows into reality using an organic pigment and a nano-blading technique. So, instead of micro cuts, nano needles deposit the colour dot by dot, which in turn is said to be longer lasting and more suited for combination and oilier skin types, in a humid climate like Singapore’s.
