Determine the Length of Your Brows
- Clean your brows
Use cotton and cleansing milk to get rid of dirt from your eyebrows. By doing so, you can get the clear shape of your brow. Also, make sure your brows are completely dry before you begin defining them.
- Hold a pencil at the sides of your nose
The pencil should be aligned to the corner of your eye and the center of your nostril. Always remember to keep the pencil in a straight position as this will define the starting point of your eyebrow.
Important Note
The gap between your eyebrows should be about the length of your eyes.
- Angle the pencil to find out where your brow ends
Slide the pencil 45 degrees from the side of your nostril to the outer corner of your eye. Your brows should ideally end where the pencil lands. Mark the point with a light-coloured pencil. By doing so, you will get a better idea to fill in the brows.
Shape Your Brows
- Create uniform thickness on the inner part and then taper off
The inner part of your eyebrows near your nose should always be thicker than the outer trail. Always ensure that the inner part is uniform on both sides. Then, taper off at the edges and make sure the brows narrow to a tip forming a nice arch based on your face shape.
- Ensure each side of your brow arch is of a similar length
This is very important or else your brows may look weird and affect your appearance. Check your brows properly in the mirror once you’ve drawn the arch to maintain parity.
- Pluck outer eyebrows
When you get the arch, you will clearly see the extra hair that should be removed. Pluck them with a tweezer if you aren’t visiting a parlour to get threading done. Wipe off the brows with soft cotton to get rid of the plucked hairs.
- Trim your brows if they are long
Brush your brows upwards towards the temples. You can get brow hairs that are too long and messy. Use a pair of small scissors and cut them equally.
Fill in Your Brows
- Use a spoolie to brush your brow
A spoolie is a little wand-style brush that can come in handy when shaping your eyebrows. Start with one brow at a time. Use this tool to brush your eyebrows in an upward motion and you will see the shape of your brows. In this way you can highlight the place that will require filling in for an even look.
- Fill in your brow with an eyebrow pencil
If you have sparse areas in your brows, then you might need to fill in the gaps with an eyebrow pencil using feathery strokes. Do not overfill the inside corners and the ends and avoid looking clumsy.
Expert Tip
Use an eyebrow pencil that is slightly lighter than the colour of your natural eyebrow.
- Check your brow
While filling in your brows, you should step back and check your brows in the mirror. By doing so, you will know if you have to lighten up the pencil strokes or darken it.
- Use a darker pencil to add depth
After you’re done using a lighter pencil to fill in the brows, the next step is to add dimension to them using a darker pencil. Draw short strokes using gentle pressure and fill in the middle portions. However, avoid darkening the inner corners and edges. Repeat the strokes and check frequently to get well-defined eyebrows.
Set the Look
- Blend your eyebrows
As you have used eyebrow pencils to fill in your brows, you need to blend them well using a spoolie. Brush your brows two to three times to get natural looking brows.
- Apply an eyebrow gel
Eyebrow gel is an essential cosmetic product that can help you in keeping your eyebrow hairs in place. Brush your brows with this gel and get a refined look.
- Use a translucent powder to define the look
Use a small eyeshadow brush, dip it in a translucent powder and highlight the shape of your brows. This can also help you in giving a cleaner look.
And that’s how you can get natural looking eyebrows in no time. All you need is a few cosmetic products such as eyebrow pencils, eyebrow gel, tweezer, a pair of scissors, and translucent powder, keep them handy when you’re defining your brows to avoid going haywire during the process. If you’re still in doubt, then it’s better you seek an expert to do the job.
