Sexy 6: the all-about-eyebrows edition

Welcome to the Sexy 6 edition of my Babble newsletter where I share with you the six things I want to pash this week. This week, it’s all about my eyebrows. And maybe yours. LFG.

1. Brow Dye

TLDR: in case you didn’t watch the Babble vid above, my eyebrows have been problematic lately because they seem to have sort of….faded. I don’t pluck or wax them barely ever but they just seem to have thinned out in a middle aged balding man kind of way. The most crucial part of bringing my eyebrows back from oblivion is this dye kit from the chemist which is only $9.99 and I use every couple of weeks.
Below is a glimpse of me mid-brow dye giving major Groucho Marx.

2. Thin Brow Pencils

The thinner the better, I’ve discovered. A spendy version - Hourglass Micro Pencil ($48) and a savey one - the Mecca Micro Matic ($20)

3. Brow Glue for DIY lamination

I’ve never laminated my brows but I found this at Big W for $16 and I quite like the way it holds my brows in place except that every time I open it the glue spills all over the rest of my makeup so……

4. Boy Brow and 5. Brow Flick

I bought both of these from Glossier when they first started delivering to Australia and for some reason, they sent my order to me twice which I didn’t hate.
Now some products are available here from Mecca. The Brow Flick is like a calligraphy pen. Quite ink-y and lasts well. I particuarly liked it when my brows looked a bit faded but it’s less relevant now that I’m dying them again every couple of weeks. It’s not available here but you can buy it from the US - I would just look for something similar here in another brand. I bet L’Oreal or Revlon or any of the chemist brands do great versions.
The Boy Brow ($37) is the cult Glossier product that made them famous. It’s like a little mascara wand and had a bit of pigment as you brush them into place, just the right amount to look natural.

6. Brow Intel

Of course, you don’t need to buy anything to improve the way your brows look. Just changing what you do to them using the products (and tweezers) you already own is the biggest game-changer. Here’s some light reading and listening to get you started.

• How to shape your eyebrows at home - a step by step guide to tinting, tweezing, shaping and waxing

• Microblading regrets. “I’ll never do it again”

• 5 eyebrow 'before and after' transformations that prove any brow can be saved.

• Apparently, we’re all experiencing ‘eyebrow blindness’

• Leigh Campbell’s top 3 brow products

And finally, here’s how my brows turned out (user error, not the fault of the product).

And before I let you go, are you getting MID newsletter? It’s so good.

Ozempic Face is apparently a thing now.
