5 Essential Eyebrow Hacks
Through the years, trends have come and gone, especially make-up trends. And when a particular beauty tip is popular, our eyes will automatically draw to other faces to see if they are on point with the current rage. Today, the go-to beauty tip to follow is fuller eyebrows perfectly thick and sculpted to look natural as if they grew on the face that way.
Therefore, a noticeably well-defined brow to keep up with this current fad cannot be too thin or way too thick. You wouldn’t want the unibrow look. To help you learn how to achieve thick, natural-looking brows, below is a list of tips:
1. Asymmetrical not symmetrical
Did you know that nothing on us is symmetrical? There is no perfect shape or face. Therefore, why would we try to make our eyebrows match? The fact is, we shouldn’t. Not making brows identical is an important tip to remember. When carving out the eyebrows, try to have a more natural appearance.
2. Do not pick your natural hair color
When we use a brow filler, our thoughts may match our hair color. However, do not do this when brushing on a brow. You should always go a shade lighter if you have black or brown hair and darker for blonde hair. Using this hack will frame your face and make people notice your eyes more.
3. Time to fill them in
You have now examined the way you will shape your brows, and you have picked the color. It is time to fill them in, and, of course, you will choose a brow filler. There are two leading fillers that most people will use—pencil or powder. If you prefer powder, you will still want to use the pencil to do a light outline that will guide you to fill in the brow with the shape you want. Take the brow pencil and draw a light line starting with the front corner. Then, follow the outline of your natural eyebrow, making it a little fuller if you want. You can do this on top of the brow, but most people will only outline the bottom. Take the pencil or powder and use quick upward strokes until your brow outline is all filled in.
4. Clean up the extras
Make sure that you have no eyebrow hairs that have gone rogue. If you notice an eyebrow or two that will not blend with your sculpted brow, take some tweezers and pluck them out. However, you should be careful. Never over pluck. If you notice a few spaces that you missed with the filler. Don’t try to fix them. The next step will do that for you.
5. Brush and blend for a finished look
Use a brush known as the spoolie. It will look like a mascara applicator, but the handle will be more extended and the bristles slanted. Take the tip of the spoolie to brush up the brow in the front where it is thickest, then turn it in a long way. Finally, blend well and fill in any tiny holes.
Use short, quick strokes with a brow pencil from bottom to top, all the way down the brow.
Just like you used the pencil to fill, but the brush is now blending it better.
In conclusion, before working with your eyebrows, make sure your foundation is applied first. However, apply eyeshadow after you do your brows. Remember, when you start your brows, do not worry about symmetry. Use a lighter filler for dark hair and a darker filler for blond hair. Then, outline, fill in, pluck, and blend. It is as simple as that to get those thick, natural brows you desire.
