Hello, I’m Anya Sobakina and I’m a beauty hunter!
Today I’m going to share with you a list of products I can’t live without as a brow artist (well, maybe I could… but I don’t want to)
Check out my Brow Must Have!
The first must-have product in my heart and brow kit is Okis Shampoo.
This is the most versatile bottle on my table. The shampoo:
- removes makeup;
- prepares the skin and hair before tinting;
- degreases;
- acts as an antiseptic.
Simply put, it perfectly prepares the skin before the brow tinting procedure.
On prepped skin, I can already start shaping and mapping, and I have my favorites here too.
Before tinting, I draw the PERFECT brow shape using a ProVG pencil. These beauties have been with me since the very beginning of my brow career. The pencils
- allow the dye to pass onto the skin perfectly;
- their medium-hard texture lets you draw максимально crisp and graphic lines;
- 4 completely different shades help you create the perfect shape for any client (whether it’s Madonna or Beyoncé).
If a client’s brows are asymmetrical and I need to draw a mathematical formula on the face for a great result, I use a ruler from Okis with convenient markings.
By the way, if you’re not confident about clean lines, you should use a brow paste from CC Brow—a defined outline will make your work neater and more graphic.
After all these steps, you can move on to tinting. We could talk about dye or henna forever. I think that will be the topic of our next longread.
Another life hack from me. To help the color stabilize faster, I recommend using Color Fix by Okis. Instead of water, rinse off the dye with it after the processing time, and you’ll see the final result not in 2 hours, but in 20 minutes.
I do brow correction with tweezers; personally, I like Brow Henna, but here I recommend testing. No matter the brand, the most important thing is that the tweezers feel comfortable in your hand.
As for that pesky fuzz, I remove it with a Vanity threading thread. The result is максимально clean, and when clients see the thread, they instantly see you as a brow sensei.
After the procedure, I always finish the area around the brows with a decorative touch. So the client leaves not like after torture, but like after a spa.
Redness on the skin is easy to cover with ProVG concealers:
- a wide shade range allows you to create a natural effect for any client
- the soft texture won’t create a mask-like effect
And the final step. As if with a wave of a magic wand, using a brow fixer from CC Brow, enriched with keratin, I set the hairs in the desired direction. And if the client wants “sable brows” (you know, like on Instagram), I use Zola soap, which firmly holds the hairs in place along the set direction.
With these products, working becomes easier and more enjoyable, and the result is always positive.
Got it? Alright then, go try it out :)
