Everyday Brows with Paula Dorf 2+1 Brows


Powered by Brandbacker


There are certain occasions when I do like to make my look dramatic (such as date nights and girls night outs), when I like to keep it simple (running errands or weekend activities) and when I need to look put together since I am meeting new people to network and I am representing my blog. For these different occasions I use different makeup products to achieve a look that I wanted, and my brows are part of that. For this post I will share with you what I have been using on an everyday basis, my simple and easy brows with

My thoughts:

Here's a Before & After look on my brow using the 2+1 Brows and the Perfect Brow Brush.I am only showing this brow as my other brow is pretty full compared to this one which needs some filling in and shaping. 
BEFORE
AFTER
The brush bristles is stiff enough but not irritating to the skin to get the brow product when using to outline and filling in specific area of my brows. It would have been nice if the other end of the brush is a spoolie  to tame my hairs and brush any excessive products after. 

I went with the Neutral shade since I am not sure how dark or brown the Brunette shade they have and the Neutral is actually just perfect for me to achieve natural fuller looking brows! My most troublesome-brow area are the ends and I do prefer to use a brow pencil to make that point look sharper but for everyday, I don't mind that it isn't as sharp as I would like it. 

The instructions says to dip the brush first on the powder then on the wax, and so this will get your wax pan a bit dirty. I use the lighter shade in the pan to fill-in the hairs by the inner corner of my eyes and I use the darker shade to fill in half-way to the tip. I grab a spoolie also to brush the hair and any excess products on the brow. 

Overall, I will keep using this pan to do my everyday brows but will not be repurchasing it. I do prefer using a pencil to fill in my brows faster and shape it as I want faster than using this pan plus a brow brush plus a separate spoolie.

Have you tried any Paula Dorf Cosmetics before? Any recommendations?
