This week, I've decided to share five tricks and recipes for keeping your eyebrows looking lovely. They have all been gleaned from the 1910 beauty book "Health and Beauty Hints" by Margaret Mixter. I normally do very little other than plucking my eyebrows, but I really liked the way the charcoal filled them in. I never thought brow products would make much of a difference on my brows but it does give them a slightly more polished look. I think in future if I'm doing a full face of makeup I will also now include my brows!

One note about the eyebrow gel: I would recommend either making frequent small batches or purchasing a liquid preservative to keep it fresh. Because of the high water content it won't last long on it's own. Keeping it in the fridge will help prolong it's shelf-life.
