Brows Before Breakdown: My Favorite Lazy Girl Brow Routine

There’s something about a good brow that makes you feel like you have your life together — even if you’re literally crying in the car.

This is my lazy girl routine.
Fast. Forgiving.
And — let’s be real — one of the only beauty rituals I consistently stick to.

Because when you’re falling apart, sometimes all you can do is keep your eyebrows looking like you tried.

🪞 What I Use:

• Clear brow gel – because shaping is more realistic than sculpting
• Tapered brow pencil – nothing fancy, just something with a spoolie on the other end
• A mirror I can carry around the house while avoiding mirrors

💡 The Actual Lazy Girl Routine:

1. Brush up.
   If I only do one thing, it’s this. I pretend I’m being artistic. Really I’m just… brushing my problems upward.
2. Light fill.
   Not carving. Not baking. Not shading like an ancient fresco.
   I fill in the sparse spots and tell myself symmetry is a social construct.
3. Set it. Forget it. Survive the day.
   I use clear brow gel to lock everything in place — including my fragile sense of control.

🎯 Why It Matters (Even If It Shouldn’t)

I know, it’s just makeup.
But when your world feels chaotic, your brows can be tiny anchors.

There have been days I didn’t shower, didn’t eat, didn’t text back — but I still did my brows.
Because sometimes, a little order on your face makes the disorder in your life feel a little more survivable.

That’s not vanity. That’s resourceful femininity.

So no, I won’t gatekeep my brow routine.
Because if you’re barely holding it together, but your brows are holding steady — that’s a win. That’s power.

That’s Voguegenics. 🖤
