Useful Brow Grooming Kit
by @duo_beauty_First of all, you need to have the right tools and cosmetics to help you manage your eyebrows. They are the key to your successful daily eyebrow care:
- Tweezer. A high-quality tweezer with thin, pointed edges will allow you to remove excess hair as accurately as possible. The Slant-Tip Stainless-Steel Precision Tweezer by Anastasia Beverly Hills is an excellent option.
- Trimmer. A small and sharp trimmer like the multi-purpose Curved Cuticle Scissors for Eyebrow, Nail and Facial Hair Trimming by Stelone will help you adjust the length of the eyebrows and remove hairs that are too long.
- Eyebrow pencil or shadow. Choose a product that matches the natural color of your eyebrows. They will help fill in the gaps and give your eyebrows the desired shape. Opt for the Makeup Kit-3 Colors Eye Brow Tinted Powder Palette by LYSdefeu.
- Brow gel or wax. These products will help fix your eyebrows in the desired shape and give them a neat look throughout the day. Try the Eyebrow Wax Styling Pencil with Slanted Tip Application by Boobeen.
- Oils or serums for eyebrow growth. If your eyebrows need strengthening and growth stimulation, pay attention to the natural oils or special serums like LUXROS Eyebrow Boost Serum or Castor Oil for Eyelashes and Eyebrows by ecla SKIN CARE.
Daily Eyebrow Care Tips
by @duo_beauty_Regular grooming will help keep your eyebrows healthy and beautiful, just like any other part of your body. Here are some daily eyebrow care tips:
Step 1: Clean Eyebrows and the Skin Around.
by @duo_beauty_Before you start grooming your eyebrows, make sure that the skin around is clean. Daily cleansing will help you to get rid of excess oil, dirt and makeup residues and create a good basis for your further eyebrow care. Massage the skin around your eyebrows with a gentle cleansing gel or foam. Avoid harsh rubbing. After this, pat the area dry with a soft towel.
Step 2: Stimulate Eyebrow Growth.
by @duo_beauty_Regular strengthening and stimulation of eyebrow growth will help make eyebrows thicker and more voluminous. Use special serums or oils enriched with nutrients such as vitamins and antioxidants. Apply the products after brow styling, gently massaging the skin with your fingertips.
Step 3: Eyebrow Care After the Excess Hairs Removal.
by @duo_beauty_Once you have removed the excess hairs with tweezers or some other tool, it's time to restore the skin around your eyebrows. An aloe vera gel or rosehip oil will help soothe irritation and prevent inflammation. Apply a small amount of the product to the treated area and allow the skin to calm down.
Step 4: Moisturize and Nourish Your Eyebrows.
by @duo_beauty_Just like the hair on your head, your eyebrows also need moisture and nourishment. Use special brow oils or natural oils such as argan or coconut to keep them healthy. Apply the oil to your eyebrows before going to bed and leave it on overnight to let the nutrients penetrate the skin. Wash your face in the morning.
Step 5: Protect Your Eyebrows From External Factors.
by @yasserregoIt is important to protect eyebrows from environmental influences, especially after correction procedures or long-term styling. Wear hats or use umbrellas to prevent your eyebrows from drying out or changing color. Also, make sure your eyebrow cosmetics do not contain harsh chemicals.
How to Draw Eyebrows with a Pencil
by @lupita_lemusThe most popular and easiest to use, pencil is used most often when it comes to eyebrow makeup. The reason is simple: it serves many functions. You can correct your brow shape with it or give it volume by painting over the voids, like the well-known makeup lover and blogger Lupita Lemus.
by @lupita_lemus- To make brows look thicker, stick to shading. Outline the brow border and fill it from the inside with neat thin lines.
- Don't press the pencil too hard. This can create the "drawn-on" eyebrows effect, which rarely looks good. The only exception here may be the sharpening corner technique.
- Shading is an excellent option, especially if you don't like too bright makeup looks. It's best to smooth the brow arches at the very end with a styling brush, which is present in the pencils like Marcelle Accent Eyebrow Crayon or Aternal 2-in-1 Eyebrow Pencil with Soft Brush. You can also soften the shade with a colorless fixing gel.
Note: Don't start with creating lines, especially if this is the first time you are using a brow pencil. This can worsen the final result.
How to Draw Eyebrows with Shadows
by @alisa.beauty.proThe first step is choosing the right shade. Brow shadows are not really good for experimentation, so it is safer to use the samples that match the color of your hairstyle.
by @lupita_lemusSometimes you need to mix several colors of similar gradient, and in this case you might need the sets like Pierre René Brow Palette. Then you need to mark the three points:
- the tip
- the bend
- the base
In this way you will highlight the zones each of which requires a special approach:
- Light shading with a small amount of liquid on the brush is good for the tip.
- Comb the hairs upward and paint the eyebrow with light horizontal movements, starting from the bottom.
- It is better to make the brow base soft, as the overall look greatly depends on it.
How to Get Perfect Eyebrows at Home
by @lupita_lemusMastering the eyebrow makeup art on your own is not that difficult. In order to have well-groomed, beautiful eyebrows without going to a brow artist or beauty salon, follow simple rules:
- Some eyebrow designs are better to do with a pencil, while others look better when done with a mascara. Try different combinations until you achieve the look you like.
- Learn the rules of eyebrow correction, or use a store-bought or homemade template with the eyebrow shape you like. It is useful for both tweezing and creating contours.
Little Tricks for Perfect Eyebrows
by @yasserregoHere are a few secrets that will greatly facilitate the process of creating perfect eyebrows:
- When choosing the appropriate eyebrow color shade, choose one that is 1-2 shades darker than your hair roots. This will greatly facilitate and speed up the process.
- It's best to start working on your eyebrows after you've applied your eye makeup. This makes it easier to adjust one to the other and create a harmonious look like this one by Yasser Rego.
- Apply eyebrow shadows with a slightly damp brush to deepen the shade.
Easy Eyebrow Tutorials
by @nataschap by @beautybycassie93If you’re just at the beginning of your brow game, here are some simple tutorials to help you start on the right foot:
by @macgrl by @stephaniet0201- Comb your eyebrows thoroughly. Then comb the hairs upward with a brow brush.
- Outline the lower edge of the eyebrow with a pencil.
- Repeat the step on the other eyebrow and make sure the lines are symmetrical. Then comb your brows down with the brow brush so that the top border is visible.
- Draw the top border with a pencil.
- Fill in the eyebrow surface with pencil strokes. Fill in the brow thoroughly at its outer edge. Draw the thin ends of your eyebrows accurately.
- Blend the strokes with an eyebrow brush. Add a little color to the brow base and blend to create a smooth transition of color to the main part of the brow.
- You can highlight the line under the eyebrows with a light corrector and shade it so that it does not stand out too much.
- As a finishing touch, add a little wax to the eyebrows to give them a beautiful shape and hold the hairs in place throughout the day. Try the Clear Waterproof Eyebrow Wax Styling Pencil by Boobeen.
FAQ: How To Fill In Eyebrows
Mistakes to avoid when doing eyebrows?
- Brushing your eyebrow hair in the outward direction. This way they will fall downwards. Brush upwards instead.
- Don’t use thick brow brushes. A narrow brush will allow you to make thin and neat lines.
- Don’t use super-dark colors. Eyebrows should complement your makeup, but not stand out too much.
- Don’t draw sharp lines and don’t press too hard.
- Don’t carve your brows with too light or dark concealer.
