how to do your eyebrows
Key Steps for Perfect Eyebrows:
- Prep:Â Brush brow hairs upward and outward using a spoolie. Ensure skin is clean and free from oils or heavy skincare for better pigment adherence.
- Map Your Shape:
- Start:Â Hold a pencil vertically against the edge of your nose; this is where the brow should start.
- Arch:Â Angle the pencil from the edge of your nose across the pupil; this is the highest point.
- End:Â Angle the pencil from the edge of your nose to the outer corner of your eye.
- Outline:Â Using a brow pencil, lightly outline the bottom edge of the brow first, then the top, focusing on defining the arch.
- Fill in:Â Using short, feather-like strokes, fill in sparse areas, mimicking natural hair growth. Start filling from the center towards the tail to avoid too much product in the front.
- Gradient Technique:Â Keep the front of the brow (nearest the nose) lighter and less defined than the tail to create a soft, natural gradient effect.
- Refine & Set:Â Use a spoolie to blend the product and soften any harsh lines. Use a concealer with a small, flat brush to clean up edges and define the brow shape. Finally, apply a brow gel to hold the hairs in place.
Pro-tips:
- Use the Right Tools:Â A thin, angled brow pencil or pen is best for creating hair-like strokes.
- Soft Fronts:Â Avoid a “blocky” look by barely applying product to the front section.
- Stabilize:Â Rest your elbow on a table to ensure a steady hand for precise application.
- Fix Mistakes:Â If you go outside the line, use a tiny amount of concealer to erase mistakes.Â
