Eyebrows. Ten years ago (the first time I was ever convinced to wax my eyebrows), I did not see what the fuss was about. As long as you did not have a monobrow, the thought of colouring them in, shaping them and making them a part of my make up routine did not even occur to me.
Ten years now and eyebrows are a big business. We wax them, we tweeze them; they are kept in place with gels and drawn over with pens and liquids. Some of us even shave them off, to be replaced with a tattoo version (don't try that at home kids, remember, your face wrinkles as you age, so will the tattoo).
You can, and many people do spend a fortune maintaining their eyebrows and keeping up to date with the latest brushes, gels and products. As for me, although I now love a well filled in eyebrow, I prefer to do the same on a budget; and without much time or effort involved.
While I like my eyebrows to be groomed, I still want a natural look and not tweezed within an inch of their life. To maintain a natural line I use the Tweezerman Slant Tweezer
Here I am, sans makeup, ready to put my makeup on to start my day. It is first thing in the morning so please excuse grumpy face.

I never put anything on my face in the right order (does anyone even know what this is?) but I always start with the eyebrows. I use a slanted makeup brush which I bought from Superdrug (similar found here) and a £1 eyeshadow from MUA, which I find stays in place all day.
I simply fill in the eyebrows in, following the line and then I extend the eyebrow out another half inch with a thin line, which I find looks better on me as I have quite stumpy eyebrows otherwise.
I never have too much time in the morning, I prefer to sleep, but eyeliner is my master and I must obey its rule.
Finally, here I am to start my day. My makeup usually takes 5-10 minutes to do, the majority of time on that being eyeliner.
