With the rise of the sculptured ‘Insta” brow there has never been more pressure to make your eyebrows look perfect; defined, but not overly shaped, natural and bushy but not scruffy.
Even if you don’t want to have a super glam and high maintenance look, keeping your eyebrows groomed is important as they work as a frame for your face.
So, how are busy mums ever going to get the time (and money!) to get the brows of their dreams, when getting to a salon is pretty much out of the question?
Luckily, DIY-ing your way to your dream eyebrows has become so much easier, thanks to the vast new range of beauty products dedicated to creating them.
