Eyebrows

For me, eyebrows are one of the most important parts of my makeup. Eyebrows frame your face and provide definition. I have dark hairs but very sparse brows so I use a variety of tools, going from top to bottom I use a brush and pomade when I want my eyebrows to look darker and more defined, a brow pencil for everyday when I want to have my brows full but not as dark as what the pomade does and concealer with a small detail brush to outline my brows an clean up some of the mistakes I may have made. In her book, Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual, Bobbi Brown mentions that the start of the brow should follow an imaginary line following the outside of the nose to the inside corner of the eye (Brown, 90). Another way you can find the shape of your brow is by following three imaginary lines that can guide your shape. Start from the side of your nose and imagine an imaginary line that goes through your inner corner of your eye and to the start of your brow, another from the side of your nose through the pupil to show where your arch should be and the last one using your nose and outer corner of your eye to where your brow should end.
Now that you have your shape, fill your brows in. The materials mentioned before are what I like to use to fill them in however there are also brow gels and powders that you can use. To use an eyebrow pencil, Brown says, "Using an eyebrow pencil in a shade that matches the brow color, fill with a light, feathery stroke, mimicking the look of hair." (Brown, 92). To start filling in, I outline the bottom of my brow then the top using my pencil then using those light feathery strokes that Brown mentioned earlier to fill my brow in. Once hey are full, I use a spoolie brush through my brow hairs and soften the lines used to fill in my brows. Once they are a nice fullness, I use my concealer and detail brush to outline my brow clean up some of the mistakes I may have made. Once my concealer is blended I am done with my eyebrows.

Do you fill in your brows regularly?
