    I was so scared at first because I a) have been wanting to laminate my brows recently and b) my name is Helen so when this popped up in my subscriptions I was like “wow the panopticon is real!” Thank you for doing this for me (not really)
    ETA 8/29: i laminated my brows

    Great tips! I had to learn all these the hard way through trial and error. Save yourself the experimentation and play through. Also, the lighter, ashy taupe tip for black hair is great for the reasons she mentioned, but also because the oils (yes, I even have oily brows, a lot of us with black brow hair probably do) will eventually oxidize the pencil/powder, making it even darker, which can end up looking way too black even against naturally black brow hairs

    I've been using soap for brows for awhile but now I just use my strong hold hair gel (any will do), works so much better and way easier to use for me, never going back to soap and no need to buy extra products!

      @sshwinggg 2 роки тому +6

      I use hair spiking glue… the stuff you use for making really high intense Mohawks. I bought a tube for less than 10$ and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to use it all up… but it’s amazing, holds all hairs and stays in place all day, even a light dip in the pool is no match. Plus if u want to add Color to the hairs, just add a squirt to a pan and mix with some brown powder (eyeshadow or brow powder) and there u go, but I usually just dip a clean little dollar store spoiler right into the tube opening and go. Ive tried brow waxes, pomades and gels all made specifically for brows as well as a variety of soaps… and some do work better than others… but hair “spiking glue” is by far the best longest lasting and sooo affordable. Buy one tube and share with friends, you’ll still probably have to throw out the remainder and buy fresh in a year or two and not come close to running out 🙂

    Thanks Helen 👀 also have you ever used like the elf clear brow gel that comes in the double ended container and also has clear mascara? It's actually way good (at least for me.) Its easy to work with and it FREEZES my brows. It used to be like 1$ but ofc this year it's gone up to 3$. But it works especially good for me bc I have eyebrows the color of fishing line so I have to first put colored brow gel on and then the clear elf. It doesn't make the first layer of colored gel move and it makes it last (even if I take a nap!) I don't wear foundation so idk if it would mess with that

      Wet and wild has this product that’s supposed to set your brows I think it’s called browssense anyway they have tinted ones, I started going grey young (like 20’s) in a bunch of colors. They aren’t great for hold but the color is. Or you can use a little bit of mascara as long as it’s waterproof and you go in with a brush it will cover.

    Not a single thing (aside from a straight up glue stick) will keep my brows down for the laminated look! Brow Freeze/Brow Lift/soap is great for a quick photo, but within 30 minutes, my brows have completely fallen. I've realized it's because I have very oily skin, and the oil my skin is producing is just breaking down the product. If anyone else has faced the same issue and has a solution, please let me know! The glue stick works fine enough (thanks for the tip, drag!), but it makes applying foundation a bit of a task if you're not super meticulous about cleaning the brow area after.

      Hi! After using your brow product, "set" it hairspray. Don't spray directly on your eyebrow, but instead spray it on the spoolie, then sweep it on your brows. The hairspray I'm using is one for Asian Men's hair, (asian men have coarser pin-straight hair strands) which tend to not make hair strands crispy, but make it not move no matter what. lol

      I agree! I’ve been using this for a few years for my brows. Nothing else I’ve used works as well. It can get a little messy sometimes, but seriously works like a charm. My brows seriously stay in place for several hours until I wash my makeup off at night. And it washes off very easy as well.

    I’ve been rocking laminated brows for a few months now I started using the elf but after 4 maybe 5 months it started looking milky 🤷‍♀️ and abh was having a sale at the time so I bought that one rather than replacing the elf. My brows aren’t that thick so I don’t notice a difference between the two so when the abh runs out I’ll go back to elf, for elfs price I don’t mind replacing it every 3 or so months if I have to.

I mean this sucker stuck straight out…like it was trying to be an eyelash instead of an eyebrow! I plucked it!😂 I rarely pluck any that are in the middle but I was fed up. (Curious to see if it grows back and if it does, will it stick straight out again.🤷🏻‍♀️😂)

    Thank you so much for this in depth video! I’m the one with straight black bushy brows (but I dye them a soft brown to match my hair), their length is always a problem, so I’m no stranger to trimming. I’ve used soap before but it always seemed to make the colour a bit darker? Was just about to place an order for this ELF product along with their brush. So it’s come in very handy! I also use the NYX pens (in taupe and blonde), but somehow my taupe is very different from your taupe, even though I use a light hand, maybe they placed the tag wrong..? 😕 They always end up darker than they need to, but hopefully I’ll get better results now - and once I have everything on hand!

    • @ioanac.1211
      @ioanac.1211 2 роки тому

      @@mhunter9982 Well, I live in Eastern Europe, so I don’t know if I can recommend any brand since it may not be available. Basically you place an order on a site that sells professional supplies for salons (the sort where you can find hair brushes, blow dryers, face masks, nail varnish and all this other stuff), I’m pretty sure you can find something of the sort.
      I actually order two different small tubs of dye (specifically formulated for brow hair! please don’t try and use other dyes!) and they last me ages. One is for going directly to blonde hair - I think it may have some bleach - and one is a softer shade of brown; and of course and a smaller oxidizer bottle that has a very small opening to make sure you only get out one drop at a time. It will probably depend on the brand you’ll buy but I really recommend this kind of bottles/tubs.
      The easiest way is to use the blonde first: you mix according to instructions and leave them on for about 10 minutes. You apply it with a Q-tip and you take it off with a cotton pad soaked in warm water. After that you make another mixture of the brown dye and the oxidizer and you leave it on for far less (maybe 2-4 minutes?) since colour really holds now and you may end up with dark brows again. I find my specific products are not strong enough for my coarse brow hair in order to use just the soft brown concoction directly, although I have tried that - but you have to leave it on for a long time and the difference is not that impactful, I have really light brown hair (almost a dark blonde). It may sting a bit at first but I haven’t had any irritation or inflammation whatsoever, and I’m the kind that get spots if I get my brows waxed at the salon. Which is why I decided to do this by myself in the first place. 😅
      Sorry for the reaaaally long comment but I hope I could be of some help! ✨

    You showed a picture of an influencer on another video of yours where she had laminated her natural SUPER long and bold brows.....BUT I CAN'T FIND THE VIDEO NOW!!! Who was she, which video did you try her brow product??? Keep up the content on how to work with different levels of expertise and dimensions, love it!

    I should've gotten the elf brow lift before i got the ABH one :/ ABH brow freeze was a complete waste of money for me i just can't use it. It NEVER dries down until like 30 minutes later after my brows have completely fallen back down into their original position. My $1 pears soap is still my winner

    hey, any advice in reguards to brow pens. I always see people using the in tutorials and I have bought a few different kinds and they just never seem to go onto my skin I can't explain it, like I got the benefit one and online it looks to apply with ease, but quite often barely any ink comes out or it doesn't stick to my skin/brow.... do you have any advice on how to make it work better for me? Because I want to make fine hair like strokes I thought this would be great option, but having to stick with wax/powder and gel for now...
