When I was young I had very full eyebrows, inherited from my dad. During my teens I decided to go overboard and twease the daylights out of them. My poor parents! My grandma use to say I looked like a porcelain doll with painted on eyebrows. Soooo, through the years I've perfected my routine to what I like and think looks most natural and flattering on me.
There are many ways to fill your brows and many products to try. I have used Benefits Brow Zings and loved it. This Wet n Wild Kit is practically a dupe and a lot less cash. I've heard nothing but great things about the Anastasia Brow Wiz Pencil but its kind of pricey, this Maybelline Define a Brow Pencil works perfect for me and is way less money too. When picking out shades I always go with light to medium browns, even though my natural hair color is almost black.
First off I use the wax in the top square of my Wet n Wild brow kit. I use my finger and put on a thin layer of the wax onto my brows to keep the hairs in place. I don't always do that step but it takes no time at all.
Secondly I draw a light line with my Maybelline Define a Brow under my brow. I follow the shape and arch of my natural brow. (Or what I have left) You could also do this to the top of your brows if you like.Lastly with a angled brush, the kit does come with one, I take the middle powder from the Wet n Wild kit and fill in my brows. I tend to go over the line and over where my natural brow hairs are. I like to go slow and use shorter brush strokes. For me I like my brows to look some what natural, but I cant get them to look fuller or they would be all powder and that would look horrible on me.
I am sure not to go past my eye when I fill in my brows. That would be too long of a brow and unnatural looking. When you are doing your brows its nice to have a concealer on hand in case you make any mistakes. I also use a nice highlight shade on my brow bone to enhance my brows shape. I hope that this tutorial helped and was easy to follow.
Also try to remember: Your Eyebrows are Sisters, Not Twins! They don't have to be completely identical, you didn't use a stencil ;)
Thank you so much for reading! Much love, Linzi

Love this post. I just came across your blog. My brows are completely over plucked. Any time I try to pencil them it is always obvious? Any tips? My eyebrows are black, so it's tough!
ReplyDeleteLove! I am an eyebrow junkie too. They are the most important part!
