Finding the perfect eyebrow pencil can be a game-changer for any beauty routine, and I recently discovered a gem on TikTok Shop—the BIYA Eyebrow Pencil. After using it, I can confidently say that it deserves all the hype it’s getting.




I’ve tried many eyebrow brands over the years, but the BIYA Eyebrow Pencil stands out for one amazing reason—every time I use it, someone approaches me to ask if I’ve had my brows laminated or microbladed again! It creates such a flawless, natural look that people can’t help but notice.


Packaging and Design



  

The BIYA Eyebrow Pencil comes in a sleek and compact design that’s perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. It’s lightweight and fits comfortably in my makeup pouch. The retractable tip eliminates the need for sharpening, and the attached spoolie is a convenient addition for blending and grooming.




Formula and Application






One of the standout features is the pencil’s smooth and precise application. The formula is just the right balance between creamy and firm, ensuring it glides effortlessly without smudging or fading. It’s also incredibly buildable, making it easy to achieve both natural and bold brow looks.  


Longevity and Wear 



The BIYA Eyebrow Pencil truly impressed me with its staying power. Once applied, it stays put for hours, even in humid weather. I didn’t experience any smudging or fading, which is a huge plus for someone like me who’s always on the go.




Skin-Friendly

As someone who has sensitive skin, I’m always cautious about trying new products. Fortunately, the BIYA Eyebrow Pencil didn’t cause any irritation or breakouts. It’s gentle on the skin, making it a perfect choice for everyday use.  


Price and Value



Priced affordably, this eyebrow pencil offers excellent value for money. It performs as well as, if not better than, some high-end brands I’ve tried in the past. TikTok Shop made the purchase process easy, and it was delivered quickly.





The BIYA Eyebrow Pencil has quickly become a staple in my makeup routine. It’s reliable, easy to use, and delivers flawless brows every time. Whether you’re a makeup newbie or a pro, this product is a must-try.

For those of us who are not blessed with full eyebrows, achieving a thicker, more natural look can be a challenge. One popular solution is to use a brow pencil or powder to fill in sparse areas.  However, there are alternative remedies for achieving more voluminous eyebrows. Microshading is a popular semipermanent cosmetic procedure that has been gaining traction in recent years.




One may wonder about the mechanics of this particular technique. Microshading is a popular cosmetic procedure that has been use for so many years. This technique involves the use of a small, handheld tool to create tiny, hair-like strokes on the skin, resulting in a natural-looking, fuller brow. The process typically takes around two hours to complete and requires minimal downtime. As for the cost, it can vary depending on the location and the experience of the technician, but generally ranges from $400 to $800, which is 22,000+ in Philippine pesos. But here at Lady Boss Aesthetics it is very affordable and the service is superb!


The combo technique, which involves a fusion of 6D microblading and microshading, has been my personal choice. But, according to my aesthetician, microshading may be a more suitable option for me than combrows due to my oily skin.

As per the recommendations of my aesthetician, I duly adhered to the prescribed course of action. As any beauty enthusiast knows, achieving the perfect brow can be a daunting task. That's why many are turning to the latest trend in eyebrow enhancement: microshading. This innovative technique involves a two-session procedure. Certain makeup technicians opt to merge the preliminary consultation with the initial session. In order to ensure optimal results from your microshading procedure, it is important to take certain precautions beforehand. Specifically, it is recommended that you refrain from engaging in the following activities prior to your appointment:


1. As we navigate through our daily routines, we often rely on certain substances to help us power through. From the ubiquitous caffeine to the occasional ibuprofen, these substances have become staples in our lives. And let's not forget about the popular fact that, as any seasoned cosmetic procedure recipient knows, preparation is key. One crucial step to take 24 hours prior to the procedure is to prevent bruising and bleeding.

2. When it comes to grooming one's eyebrows, there are a few popular methods that come to mind: waxing and plucking. Both techniques have their pros and cons, and ultimately, as the procedure approaches, anticipation and anxiety may begin to build. With just one week left, it's important to take any necessary steps to prepare both physically and mentally.

3. As any beauty enthusiast knows, preparation is key when it comes to achieving flawless skin. And when it comes to preparing for a treatment, such as a big event or a photoshoot, timing is everything. Experts recommend scheduling your facial appointments at least two weeks in advance.

4. As a word of caution, it is advisable to avoid sunbathing or using tanning beds on the day of your procedure.

5. When it comes to skincare, there's no shortage of buzzworthy ingredients. One that's been around for a while and continues to be a popular choice is retinol, also known as vitamin A. 

As the procedure draws near, it's natural to feel a mix of emotions. With just one month left, it's important to stay focused on the preparations ahead.


First Session

Upon scheduling an appointment with Ms. Florame, also known as the Lady Boss, I was advised to reach out to Ms. Lyka via message. Having had a prior acquaintance with Ms. Lyka, I opted to send her a message through her Facebook account. For individuals seeking to schedule an appointment, kindly direct your inquiries to the Lady Boss Aesthetic Davao Facebook page.

JUNE 4, SUNDAY, 4PM

While I've undergone this procedure before, I couldn't help but feel a bit anxious this time around. You see, it's the first time I've been assigned a different Aesthetician. I experienced the expertise of LadyBoss' very own owner as she performed the procedure during my previous session. With Ms. Angie as the designated Aesthetician this time around, I couldn't help but feel a tad apprehensive about entrusting the procedure to someone else.  I have no option; I must follow the rules as they currently stand. Also, the proprietor assured me that Ms. Angie is a top-notch member of her aesthetics team, so there was no need to fret.

As I patiently awaited my procedure, I couldn't help but ponder. The revamped ambiance of Lady Boss is a breath of fresh air compared to its previous location. The establishment has undergone a significant expansion, resulting in a capacious interior that can readily accommodate a large number of patrons. In addition, a multitude of services have been incorporated into their offerings.

I must admit that I initially had reservations about entrusting myself with the procedure. However, I ultimately decided to heed the advice of the owner and proceed accordingly. I was fortunate enough to have the assistance of two skilled aestheticians. The first was responsible for preparing my eyebrows, which involved a thorough cleaning and the application of anesthesia. The second aesthetician was tasked with performing the actual procedure.

During the initial Microshading session, clients can expect to spend approximately two hours.

Following the procedure, it is expected that the eyebrows will exhibit a darker appearance for a period of up to five days. As the eyebrows heal, the color of the brow will gradually lighten, according to experts.

After approximately four weeks, the color of your natural brow will be matched.


I have yet to undergo my second and third sessions, and I will provide you with an update regarding the progress of my MICROSHADING Procedure during my next appointment.

I've been using CELETEQUE DERMOCOSMETICS EYEBROW NOURISHING SERUM for almost 3 months, and I'm quite impressed with the result.




It was during the 90's that almost tweens are compelled to over-tweeze their eyebrows and I admit, I am one of them. Though I have a thin eyebrows, but then I still pluck it for the sake it was a "trend".

This saying really apply to me, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me'... but when it comes to brows, tweeze too much the first time and you might stuck for life. And yes, I got stuck! I started over-plucked my eyebrows at age 18 and they never grew in after that.

To better understand, here is a quick review of our hair's growth cycle: 

There's the anagen phase (active growing), the catagen phase (growth stops), and the telogen phase (the hair is at rest). Then the hair falls out, and a new one grows in its place. When you rip out one of your hairs, it disrupts this growth cycle. Repeatedly ripping out hairs in a certain area can stunt the growth cycle semi-permanently, or even cause a condition called traction alopecia, a type of semi-permanent hair loss, making it even harder to regrow overplucked brows.

So the best thing to do for brows that need to grow is to STOP PLUCKING and seek help. I am happy that there are products being invented to help eyebrows grow faster, and one of this comes from our local brands, Celeteque, created an eyebrow nourishing serum!



Celeteque DermoCosmetics Eyebrow Nourishing Serum promotes fuller healthier eyebrows and it is dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic.

I personally recommend this product because it is tested and safe to use. And for 3 months of religiously using it, I am impressed, but still observing if it will give me a fuller, stronger and healthier eyebrows.

How to use: Gently brush on your eyebrows twice every day.

Format: SERUM

This is my 6th week of using FYSIKO EYELASH GROWTH SERUM on my eyelashes and my second day application on my eyebrow.


Having done all the procedures religiously, applying it once in a day/night, rain or shine, I get my appearance of a healthier, more voluminous eyelashes in my 5th Week of Application.

5th WEEK of APPLICATION

I have a thin eyebrows or shall we say Over-Plucked eyebrows. I really had a problem on how to make it grow back again.  If you can still remember my tutorial on how to get the perfect arch of your Eyebrow using a positioning stick (see post HERE).



A bit messy isn't it?  If you are the one doing it, it is so hard to balance one eyebrow to another.  

Taking the opportunity since FYSIKO SERUM help to give your hair growth a boost both lashes and eyebrows because it's composed of a BIO-PEPTIDES which encourage hair to grow naturally.

This is my Over-Plucked Eyebrow

On my second day of using the serum for my eyebrow I notice that hair are growing.  This product really works both for eyelashes and eyebrows, but you have to be PATIENCE. 

I noticed that my brows near the top of my nose are thinning and I particularly applied  to this area.

2nd Day of Application

Either FYSIKO EYELASH GROWTH SERUM or any other serum products, just a piece of advice:  USE IT WITH CAUTION.  Use only as directed and stated in the insert sheet.  Discontinue using if you notice any irritation or problems.  And you should immediately seek your Doctor's advice.

Product reviews are still the fastest and the number one way of promoting and increasing revenues.  Though it is more advantageous to us as bloggers to do product reviews, readers want to know what you think about the products and services that relate to your niche by providing them resources and information needed to gain impact for their buying decisions.

Here as I say, I am going to post pictures about my experiences regarding FYSIKO EYELASH GROWTH SERUM to see how it works day-by-day, weeks-by-weeks. In my 5th WEEK of using, it has been proven that it is very effective to grow natural eyelashes with patience and with every day application.




Beauty Essentials once commented on my review(read here), and she told me that it can be used for eyebrows too.  So I tried it for the first time.



A sort of itching but can be tolerated. 

I was recently asked if it worked with an eyebrow. So this is it, it both works.

The insert sheet for FYSIKO LASHES says the ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are BIO-PEPTIDES and AMINO ACIDS that helps to repair and strengthen fragile eyelashes and eyebrows.  VITAMIN E, OLIVE OIL, THYME,SOY PROTEIN are the key elements to enhance a NATURAL LASH. SODIUM HYALURONATE that promotes hydration and helps eyelashes and eyebrows appear shiny and strong. METHYLAMIDO DIHYDRO NORALFOPROSTAL that promotes healthy lash follicles for full growth potential. And PANTHENOL, helps eyelashes and eyebrows last longer by making them more flexible.




As with this serum you have to use it once or twice a day to achieve full growth lashes.  It doesn't required prescriptions and you can bought it online by clicking it HERE.


I've read from other reviewers about the other products that they use, they experienced skin irritation and pigmentation.  In my case, I've encountered such itchiness with this serum(story here) but not irritation and pigmentation, and it doesn't stop me from using the product.

Either FYSIKO EYELASH GROWTH SERUM or any other serum products, just a piece of advice:  USE IT WITH CAUTION.  Use only as directed and stated in the insert sheet.  Discontinue using if you notice any irritation or problems.  And you should immediately seek your Doctor's advice.

In modelling or in any photo shoot the highest priority we always see is the placement of the EYE. Where the nose goes- the eyes follow.  Regardless where you're facing the pupil of your eyes had a great impact in delivering your photo to your audience.



photo credit: [•sHadowpLay•] via photopin cc



To have that vivacious look, you only not to learn the basic and fundamentals like style and designs but learn more about the techniques and right applications(and at the same time have the right materials and the tools).

The Makeup Specialists conduct a once in a lifetime workshop experience for us Davao Bloggers who like to know about eye makeup, where each one of us took a step forward to learn and know more about our EYES. This Eye Makeup Workshop is sponsored by the BYS COSMETICS PHILIPPINES.





Asian eyes are different compared with Western and Caucasian, so we need to follow our own style in getting the perfect arch of our eyebrow. The right measurement for ASIAN to get a PERFECT ARCH of an EYEBROW is by doing this:

To find out where your eyebrows are supposed to begin is to position a stick(I used my spoolie in these pictures).




To BEGIN: from the nose, align it to the thinner corner of your eye.  Most Asian women choose to put the spoolie below just following the old way of getting the arch but remember some Asian lack of a nose bridge, better align it just in the middle side corner of our nose.

For the ARCH: position still starting the middle side corner of your nose until the side corner of your pupil.

At the END: place the stick once again by your middle side corner of your nose and align it to the outer corner of your eye.

Things I learn here is: do not over shade your eyebrow,  do not square off the begin brow, do not over extend the end, always us spoolie to measure the arch, and lastly no sharp angles.


THE EVOLUTION of my EYEBROWS


Today we have to say goodbye with the "KILAY 2000" eyebrow or the over plucked eyebrow.  Thicker eyebrows are so much better!


What type of eyes do you have?  




Before I got serious with my topic about eye makeup, knowing first the type of eyes you have so that you will know what Eyeshadow and Basic Color Application appropriate and suitable for you.  

In my case I have both, the Almond and Hooded Eyes.

EYE SHAPES.  Determining our natural eye shape is so important as finding the right color application for your lids.




BASIC COLOR APPLICATION. You must follow the EYE DIAGRAM: BASE/MIDTONE, HIGHLIGHT and CONTOUR depending on what eye shape you have, in my case I have to use the technique of a NO MAKE UP LOOK.

PRIME the lids first, using BYS FACE PRIMER.



BASE Color to mark a perimeter.  Here I use BYS EYE SHADOW MOUSSE.




EYELINER APPLICATION 


In the case of an EYE LINER APPLICATION need to put eyeliner to enhance my eyes, using BYS SMUDGEPROOF WATERPROOF BLACK EYELINER it will be sufficient to intensify my eyes and for my lower lash line I got the BYS NEON BLUE EYELINER PENCIL and blend it with their BYS BLUE BAKED EYESHADOW POWDER.




Talking about the LASHES, since I use a SERUM for eyelashes, I decided not to put false eyelashes on my eye and stick with my natural one.  I just use BYS BLACK MASCARA to have that volume and curve.



Like I said before I belong to an ALMOND and HOODED EYES, meaning my fold is not so high. That my hood(fold) is near my ORBITAL RIM.

This application is good for those who have almond and hooded eyes, those who have perfect monolids and thinner double lids just like me.




This eye makeup tutorial workshop I've learned from the Makeup Specialists will really benefit not only me but to all my readers and followers who have the same problem choosing the right application and techniques for their eyes and to have that attractively lively look during pictorial or photo shoot.
