Eyebrow Tutorial - The Basics!

Hello,

Everyone uses different brow filling methods - some use pencils, while others prefer brow powders. You may even prefer a cream product (such as a brown cream liner) or a brow-marker (such as Milani Brow Tint Pen). I love switching up products all of the time, so my brow routine changes often. 

Don't feel the need to go run out and purchase a brow powder - Any matte brown eyeshadow similar to your hair color will do. Although we all favor and thrive for eyeshadows with lots of pigment, we don't necessarily look for the same in our brow products because we want our brows to look natural. So, finding an inexpensive shadow at the drugstore should be a sinch. And, if you don't own an eyebrow pencil, you can use a brown eyeliner - but don't apply it straight on as it can look too intense for your brows. Scribble on the back of your hand, and run your brush through the product for a mo     
Here's the classic diagram of where your brows should ideally start, arch and end.
re natural look (or you can just lightly rub your brush across the tip of the pencil).
Here's a highlight of the tutorial.
 
Tools to use
Highlighting Brow Kit
Eye Pencil
Concealer
Angled Brow Brush
Concealer
Eye lash and Brow wand (Spoolie)
Tweezerman Brow Shaping Scissors
Tweezers
Eyebrow Razor
Tweeze any stray hairs without disturbing the shape of your brow. If necessary, use a brow razor to shave the very fine hairs that are too fine to tweeze. If your brows needs trimming, take a spoolie and brush your brow hairs upward. With the scissors laid horizontal above the brows, trim the excess hair that extends above the shape of your brows. For very unruly brows, brush them downwards and repeat trimming any hair that are too long.

Step 1 & 2 - With your brow pencil, underline the underside of your brow. *The underside side of your brow should look the most precise, whereas, the rest of the brows should look natural.*

Step 3- Start filling the brows with a brow powder. If possible, you may hold up a brow stencil as a guide. Tap your brush in the brow powder and begin to lightly outline the brows. You can start from the arch.
With your brush and your eye, check to see if your brow needs to be extended.

Step 4 & 5- With your spoolie, brush through the brows to blend the colors together. The bristles of the spoolie do a great job by picking up excess product and making the brows look more natural.

Step 6- If necessary, apply a concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin on the underside. This will make the brow look more clean and precise.
For unruly brows, apply a clear brow gel to tame the brows.* You can use hairspray with a spoolie as an alternative*
Apply a shimmery eyeshadow to the brow bone as a highlight. This will further give the effect of a clean sculpted brow.

Step 7- The Finished Brow!
