KILLER EYEBROWS

This year has been the year of KILLER EYEBROWS. Bold, thick and arched eyebrows are what everyone is striving for. Unfortunately, not all of us can have naturally stunning eyebrows. The ones who are born with these eyebrows are the most blessed people in the planet. Lately, eyebrows have been the key to making or breaking your look. Sure you got the Alexander Wang x HM Collection before it sold out but how is your eyebrow game? Here are some killer eyebrows that I think everyone should enjoy.

10. George Harrison 


The lead guitarist of The Beatles had one of the best eyebrows in the men category. Most likely, Harrison did not fill his in - like most of us do - and look how good they look. I love a man with nice, thick, eyebrows and i'm sure Harrison has set the standards. 

9. Brooke Shields 


With the amount of eyebrow articles I've read, everyone misses one of the most iconic eyebrows in the history of eyebrows. Brooke Shields practically invented eyebrow game. Her eyebrows are bold, thick, long and enviable. I adore how her eyebrows bring out her gorgeous eyes. Brooke Shields is iconic and so are her brows. 

8. Zayn Malik


Many of you might be thinking, "She's only putting him in here because she loves One Direction." And you are correct - no i'm just joking. Although, I adore One Direction, I find that Zayn Malik has some great eyebrows. His eyebrows are the perfect brows. If they were any thicker or thinner, I don't know if they'd still be amazing as they are now - granted they'd most likely would because he is Zayn Malik. 

7. Phoebe Tonkin

 
I've never heard anyone acknowledge the beauty of Phoebe Tonkin's brows. They're not like anyone else's. I admire how far the come in and how high they are arched. This look wouldn't work for everybody but I think it suits her fantastically. 

6. Robert Pattinson


This captivating Hufflepuff - mind my Harry Potter reference - has such thick eyebrows that leaves me speechless. You just look at him and think - eyebrows. They're fantastic and make his face even more breathtaking than it already is. 

5. Emma Watson 


My favorite feminist and spell caster - Emma Watson. Alright everyone, I think we can all agree that Watson has some damn attractive eyebrows, yes? I love how her eyebrows are not at all the thickest or boldest eyebrows but they are so desirable. They fit her face wonderfully and I would kill to have some brows like that. 

4. Joe Jonas


Originally, this post was just going to show female brows but then I started thinking about Joe Jonas and I had to include him. Joe Jonas is pretty much the inventor of eyebrow game. Remember back in 2008, when everyone said he had caterpillar eyes? Look at him now. The Jobro knows what it means to have eyebrows and he owns it. It's like his trademark. 

3. Maisie Williams


I'm going to interrupt this post with something completely off topic - I am absolutely and completely in love with Maisie Williams.

Going back to the brows, I think her brows are one of the most underrated eyebrows in the history of eyebrow game. These are her natural brows and they put so many eyebrows to shame. They're completely solid and striking. Cara Delevingne who? (Joking, I love Cara) 



2.  Chase Crawford 


Being Nate Archibald is besides the point. I can safely say that Chase Crawford has the best brows among men. They're so perfectly arched and thick. Forget about his gorgeous deep blue eyes or undeniably great facial hair, I find that his brows are what makes him so much more attractive.

1. Lily Collins


I'm going to settle this feud and let everyone know that Lily Collins has the best eyebrows in the game. Look at them. They are long, arched, thick, eye-catching, full - everything you could want in an eyebrow she has. When I see her eyebrows, I want to cry - they're so incredible. I believe Collins knows that she has the best eyebrows but doesn't want to brag.

Favorite Lipsticks

If there is one thing I love - it is lipstick. In my opinion, lipstick is the most interesting form of makeup. There is so many different shades and different ways you can put it on - it's quite lovely. You can mix shades, overlap shades, you can even use lipstick on your cheeks as blush that is how unique it is. Here are some of my favorite lipsticks of all time.

The Classic Red Lip


I think a red lip is a must for everyone. Red lipstick signifies confidence and power and to me - that is sexy. Anyone no matter what skin tone or how old you are can rock a red lip. The particular color I'm wearing in this photo is Mac Cosmetics Viva Glam Rihanna in 01. I think this shade is the absolute perfect red - not on the verge of burgundy but also not to sheer and almost a pinkish color. 

Plumpish


This color is more daring, if you will. Obviously, not everyone will want to wear this shade out or even wear it at all. I think it is a gorgeous plum shade that would work amazing in Autumn. I really love this lipstick from Covergirl called  Entangled. Not only does it give you an amazing deep plum color but I find that it actually gives my lips a little plumpness. 

Femininely 


This color is one of my "go-to" "in a hurry" shades. It is a nude color with pink undertones. Its perfect for everyday wear. I think it is a very girl and sweet innocent shade. This could be perfectly paired with a smokey eye. This lipstick is by Clinique and is called Think Bronze

Nudeness



This shade is my absolute favorite nude lipstick. Its Kate Moss' Lasting Finish Lipstick in the shade 14. I pair mine with just a plain clear gloss from Lancome. I especially love it because of how well it correlates with my skin tone. It is my perfect nude lipstick. 

Date Night


If I did go on dates, this is something that I would wear. It is the perfect combination of bold but subtle. This shade is by Makeup Forever that comes in the Sephora Beauty Insiders birthday gift this year. It sort of a cross between a mauve pink and a coralish orange. It is a beautiful color for all skin tones and perfect for a date night and casual days.

Item Not Worth The Hype : Baby Lips

The oh so famous Baby Lips. These lipstick chapstick duos have been around for quite a while now. Everyone - and I mean everyone - I have talked to has heard, seen or used the product. My younger sister has purchased various different kinds and is a huge fan of the baby lips, so being her sister, of course I was just going to use hers. The product is suppose to make your lips baby soft - hence the name Baby Lips. They come in all various colors. From a transparent shade to a cherry red shade to even a dark purple shade.


When I used the product for the first time, I didn't really see a difference with other chapsticks besides it having a tinted color - which by the way many different brands also add tinted colors to their lip balms, such as: Burt's Bees, Nivea, Benefit, Revlon, and more. But overtime it actually made my lips drier and more chapped. I admit I absolutely adore some of the colors they have. My favorite one was the Cherry Me color. It really gave my lip a sort of sheer red tint which was perfect for just going out shopping or seeing friends. After a couple of uses, I noticed it really dried out my lips and honestly did nothing but add color.

Most people I know say that the baby lips works perfect for them and they have no problem with it. It may just be my lips that do not absorb the moisture from these balms like everyone else.

Compared to Carmex Lip Balms and Nivea Lip Balms, I really don't understand the hype around this product. To me, Carmex and Nivea add a lot more moisture than Baby Lips do. The things I like about Carmex and Nivea are that they really lock in the moisture and after one use it honestly makes a big difference. I can see and feel more moisturized lips in less than an hour compared to Baby Lips.
