Nichido Eyebrow Pencils Review + Three Steps Tutorial

Heyuuuh! I'm on fire this week. (HA HA) Three posts in a row. I just feel like my blog is lacking content, that's why I'm going to keep posting stuffs. I actually have a line up already, from make up to food and more. If you guys have suggestions on how I can improve my blog, I'm open to it just comment down below.  xoxo

So I was looking at all my make-up and found my Nichido brow pencils. I just thought that maybe it will be a good idea to write a review about it and at the same time post my eyebrow routine. As we all know, EYEBROWS ON F L E E K is a very popular trend right now. One of which I don't follow. I don't have anything against it. I actually find it very gorg, it's just that it's time consuming for me. Thus, what I do is just clean up the stray hairs on my brows and fill it up.

I have two favorite Nichido brow pencils. I actually think they're similar. It's just the packaging is different. Here it is!




I bought the small one a long time ago that's why the writing on the package faded already. What I like about the small one is you don't have to sharpen it anymore. You can just twist it. However, I prefer the other one simply because if you twist it a little more than what is shown in the picture, it'll break. I swear it is so fragile to the point that it became very annoying. I lost like a quarter of it already. The other one looks like a pencil but it's plastic. It's so smooth when you sharpen it unlike the actual pencil ones. Moreover, I feel like it has more content than the other one because it's longer and bigger. Moving on, they're actually only 60.00 pesos each and comes with only two colors (I think) black and brown. 

(Remember: when choosing the color of your brow pencil, make sure that it's one to two shades lighter than your actual hair) I tried using black brow pencil and believe me I looked horrible. 



They have the same color and texture. The texture of both pencils is the same. They're like cream/ gel type brow pencils. I like how they're soft. The only thing I worry about this is it smudges a lot so you have to clean up whenever you're done with your eyebrow routine. 

Verdict:

I love them both. They both have their pros and cons. I would prefer the pencil type in everyday use. However, I'll also buy the other one for when I'm traveling so I wouldn't sharpen anymore. Plus, it's smaller and can fit on my mini make up bag. Besides, these pencils are very affordable for just 60 pesos. 


EASY EYEBROW ROUTINE TUTORIAL

So my routine is not really to make an eyebrow on fleek style. I just fill it in so it can look bolder. This will be really easy . You'll just need your eyebrow pencil with brush and you're good to go. Let's start! (Reminder: Make sure you shave/ thread/ pluck any stray hairs around your brows)

UGH my oh so haggard face (HA HA) Here is my face without any make up except for foundation. 


Step #1: 

Outline the bottom and upper corner of your brow. (It really depends on you if you want darker brows then outline everything, but I think this'll be sufficient)


Step #2:

Brush in an upward and inner motion to fill in the brow until you can't see the line anymore. 


Step #3

Clean any smudges outside your brow. 

And VOILA! it's done!



Now do the other one and it'll look like this: (YAY for filled in brows)



Sooo, what do you guys think?

Nichido Naturally Beautiful Eyeshadow Palette Review + Pretty in Pink Eyeshadow Tutorial

Helllooo! I've decided to post my first make-up tutorial after practicing so many times. I'll try to make this post very informational so you guys can learn or follow what I'm doing. I'm also open to comments and suggestions on how you all feel about my tutorial. Soo, let's start!

I was rummaging through my sister's drawer (I asked permission lol) to find something and I passed by this Nichido Naturally Beautiful eyeshadow palette which she bought a long time ago but used 1-2 times only. So I added this to my "review" lists. I forgot the price of this product but I know that all Nichido products are pretty affordable.

It looks like this:



(sorry for the scratches this was bought a long time ago)

The product contains seven shimmery eyeshadows and two matte blushes. It also includes an eyeshadow brush (ours is damaged huhu).

Swatched 2-3 times using fingers (colors from left to right)


Swatched 2-3 times using brush (colors from left to right)


What I like about Nichido Naturally Beautiful eyeshadow palette:
1. Beginner friendly (If you're still practicing make-up)
- The reason is because it's not too pigmented and you can correct it if you make a mistake.
2. Travel friendly
- It has seven neutral eyeshadow colors and two blushes, what more do you need?
3. Budget friendly
- All Nichido products are affordable. Nuff said.

What I don't like this product:
1. The brush sucks
2. It's not that pigmented so you have to use more to make the color pop. (this is a con if you're not a beginner)
3. It doesn't have matte eyeshadows

This is the end of my product review, now I'm going to test it by adding my pretty in pink eyeshadow tutorial below.

Items you'll need:

1. Nichido naturally beautiful eyeshadow palette
2. Foundation
3. Pressed powder
4. Concealer
5. Eyeshadow brush
6. Face powder brush / sponge


Optional Items:

1. Beauty Blender
2. Primer


Step #1

Prep your face the way you like it.

My face make-up routine consists of the following:
1. Primer (Quick FX No Shine Mattifier)
2. Foundation (Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse)
3. Concealer (Shawill stick concealer)
4. Bronzer and Blush (EB Advance Blush Duo)
5. Press Powder (Maybelline Shine Free)
6. Lipstick (Nyx - I forgot the shade) - I just dabbed a little so it'll look sweet and natural.
7. Brows (Nichido eyebrow pencil in the shade of brown)




Step #2

Regain your energy (HAHA)


Step #3

After everything, let's move to eyeshadow. As you can see I have dark skin around my eyes so I need to prepare (Foundation + concealer) it first. This is important to avoid compromising the color of your eyeshadow.


Using my Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse, I'll just dab it around my eyes. Then blend it using a beauty blender (a dupe I bought at Divisoria which costs only Php 50.00). I used my fingers on the right side to show you guys that you can blend without make up tools.



The next thing I did was put on my Shawill stick concealer (It also served as my highlight). I basically did the same thing.




Step # 4

Now that your eyelids are ready, let's start with the actual eyeshadow. First thing you need to remember is just be creative in whatever you're doing.


The first thing you'll do is find neutral color to put as your base. 



The reason you can't see the color is because it's so light. That's what makes it perfect.


Then, pat a light color of your choice to the inner corner of your eyes. (I normally use white on this) Remember: just dab it first, blend it after everything is in place. 







As you can see, I chose a gradient style. The darkest color should be in the outer corner of your eyelids.

Now we blend it inwardly. You can use your brush or fingers on this. 

Step #5

Using your pinky, dab it into your eyeshadow and slide it carefully on the bottom corner of your eye to add a smokey effect. 




Step #6

Clean up by sliding a concealer on the edge of your eye then blend.


Step #7

Set your look by carefully putting your press powder on top.


Step #8

Finish your look with a mascara or eyeliner. (I skipped the eyeliner on this one)

Sooo here it is:


Okay guys I saw that my eyeshadow is not even in the picture, but I swear it's just the light playing tricks with my camera.


Love,
