It's all about the big brows!

After weeks of growing my bushy brows, I am finally satisfied with the outcome. With these new babies, I may as well be mistaken for Cara Delevingne- the queen of androgynous beauty.

This year, brows (no longer the eyes) are the 'nipples of the face' and are crucial when deciding what look you are trying to achieve; just like your hairstyle, they can frame your face and flatter its shape.

After sporting the typically thin brows that are verging on the dreaded 'nike tick' resemblance, I decided it was time for change, to hang up the tweezers for good and let them grow into their natural form- a step that more women are taking this year as it's confirmed… IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BIG BROWS.

It was a big decision that I had to make at some point, but of course I had to endure the 'untamed' look for weeks. With hairs sprouting everywhere like no tomorrow, I felt I had to explain every time I engaged in conversation with someone, gawping at the furry beasts sitting above my eyes: "I don't normally let them get like this, I'm reshaping them.. honest!".

But the hard work payed off because I'm finally happy with the results. I find that thinner eyebrows can age you- at eighteen, that is not good. Bigger brows are easier to maintain with minimal plucking and a bolder effect.

So I am on the road to becoming an androgynous queen like Cara… now all I need is an androgynous wardrobe to complete my look. *looks at bank balance*.. maybe I'll save that for another time.

However, I also need to dip my inexperienced toes into the sea of eyebrow pencils, powders, brushes (the list goes on) so if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment!
