Every pro has his own insider tips. So is Beyonce’s make-up artist Sir John. However, we are not sure what to make of this hack …
Have you ever dreamed of looking like Beyoncé? We have to admit, so do we. Who can blame us? After all, she is a grenade at the age of 37 – and always looks fabulous. No wonder, she also has a make-up artist. Sir John has been making up the power woman for years, so we should take some tricks from him if we want Beyonce’s look. For example this one here:
Pritt pencil as Brauengel
When it comes to Make-up on Fleek, Sir John does not do half measures. In his so-called “Masterclasses” – or training – he teaches and shows his secret beauty tricks. One of them, however, has made us a bit suspicious: He uses Pritt pencil as eyebrow gel. I BEG YOUR PARDON?! Does not sound healthy. If you want to imitate that, then you should be careful that nothing comes in or too close to the eyes. In an interview with Refinery 29, Sir John reveals:
This is the best eyebrow gel in the world. After you have painted your eyebrows, you take a little pritt with a brush and combs it through the eyebrows. (…) I know it’s glue. But he will stay up all day, even if you sweat.
We have to admit, we find this trick a little tricky, but it actually works. In various tutorials the beauty hack is tested. Lo and behold, the brow hold bombproof. That was somehow to be expected, after all, Beyoncé’s make-up artist is an absolute professional. Nevertheless, we would recommend you to resort to a brown gel that is really meant for the face. For example, the Benefit 24H Brow Setter or the Clear Brow Gel by Anastasia Beverly Hills are bombproof. You will not get any allergic reactions or burning in the eyes. Better safe than sorry. However, we have to admit that this strange trick has made us curious. We’ll try it for sure – and you ?!
