If you use make-up, you probably know that every step matters a lot. A loose powder followed by foundation is a huge mistake. Applying eye make-up after foundation is tricky too because eyeshadow is likely to fall on your cheeks and spoilt the silky smooth effect you’ve created.
The thing is the same with eyebrows. Every step matters, ranging from brow care through shaping to filling them in.
Bold, thick, full… eyebrows out of your dreams
There isn’t one perfect brow look model that we should strive for. That’s why using eyebrow stencils is a lousy idea. The color as well as thickness, density and length of brows should be tailored to our beauty type. The rounder the face, the sharper the arches, enhancing our features and bringing out what’s best.
There’s just one sure thing that applies to all of us. The most stunning brows are ones looking the most natural, without the overdone color or cartoonish contours. It’s great if your dream brows are natural-looking brows.
First thing, eyebrow care
There are no lovely brows without the right care so first thing you need to do is get a brow serum or castor oil. The former is more effective but you can strengthen and nourish the brows with a natural oil too.
Properly conditioned (nourished, moisturized, repaired) brows are naturally beautiful. Their follicles are strengthened and thus brows stop falling out in excess and are thicker. Patches are gone so you get bolder brow arches.
How is that supposed to help with filling in the brows? It’s simple: make-up will be just addition, not a way for camouflaging ugly brows.
Second thing, eyebrow shaping
Leaving brows as they are doesn’t sound like a good idea. You should take control of the growth so they are not too bushy. Getting the best shape of brows is a priority. Only well-groomed brows look their best.
How to mark out ideal brow shape?
- The start of the brows is where a line goes through the inner eye corner, parallel to the nose.
- The end of the brows is where the line goes from the corner of the nose to the outer eye corner.
- The arch of the brows is where the line goes from the nose corner through the center of the iris.
Obviously, our brows must have the right color and thickness. We must also decide if we want the arch to be steep or soft. Then, we are ready to shape them, that is pluck unnecessary hairs and trim the unruly ones. Eyebrow mapping and shaping can be done by a professional eyebrow artist if we’re afraid of doing it all wrong.
Third thing, eyebrow filling-in
If we forget about make-up, we can forget about the dream look… No matter how beautiful your natural brows are, you should enhance them with a bit of make-up: pencil, powder or pomade. How to fill in brows the right way?
It isn’t complicated. The color of your cosmetic must be as similar to your hair color as possible. The bottom line should be the boldest: the higher you fill in, the softer the effect so blend the product well when drawing the top line. Keep the contours rather soft, not too sharp.
That’s it. Dare to make three steps that are keeping you away from gorgeous eyebrows!
