Your Best Brow

Eyebrows are arguably the most important feature on your face. For anyone blessed with naturally thick, dark and beautiful brows proper grooming is extremely important. A wise person once said, "Friends don't let friends get waxed at nail salons". As far as we are concerned, truer words have never been spoken.
So, what if you haven't been blessed with cooperative brows? Don't worry! We've put together this step-by-step guide and product recommendations that will help you tame even the lightest, most sparse eyebrow.
Use a makeup brush or pencil to guide you. It can be helpful to make small dots with your powder or pencil to show where your eyebrow begins, ends and its highest point. These marks can easily be blended in later.
  1. Place your brush so that you are connecting your nostril to the inner corner of you natural brow, this should form an almost completely vertical line. This is where your brow will begin.
  2. For your arch you can try two tricks. You can move your brush so that it forms a diagonal line from your nostril over the iris of your eye. If that doesn't work for you, try taking the brush and forming a vertical line from the outer edge of your iris upwards. Either trick will help you find the highest point for your brows arch.
  3. Rotate your brush to a 45 degree angle, the brush should form a line from your nostril to the outer corner of your eye, this is ideally where your brow should end.
Everyone has different eyebrows, use our tips as guideline and not a strict set of rules. To fill in your eyebrow, we suggest following the natural shape and width of your brow. Lightly take your product along the bottom of your eyebrow to "connect the dots" and blend upwards.  Remember to always use small flicking motions with your brush or pencil, this trick will help create the look of small hairs.
PRO TIP: When filling in eyebrows start in the center, where brows are naturally thickest, working outwards down the tail and towards the beginning on the eyebrow. This will help create a gradient effect and more natural looking eyebrow.
