Tips for Impeccable Eyebrows

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and wondered what is the one thing that can instantly glam up your face sans makeup? Today’s post touches the most underestimated yet most important feature of our faces – Our Eyebrows or ‘face framers’ as some may call it.

Before we move on, here are some brow-raising facts – did you know that….

• Eyebrows are designed to protect our eyes from moisture and dirt?

• Thicker brows can make you look younger?

• Eyebrows are critical for non-verbal communication? Facial movements help express emotion and feeling.

• Brow hairs have a life span of about 4 months? This means the time it takes for each hair to fall out and new growth to fill in.

• Well groomed eyebrows actually allow you to wear minimal makeup?

• There are at least 24 different shapes of brows with individual names? Look at the chart below. Stacey's brows are thick and peek whilst I fall into the seductive and thick zone. What are your eyebrows called?

• The shape of your brow defines who you are? Curved eyebrows indicate you are very people-oriented and better understand problems through real-world examples, while straight eyebrows denote that you are more direct, logical and factual. Angled eyebrows indicate you might be someone who likes to be right and strives to be mentally in-control, in every situation.

Eyebrow shaping is not a one-size-fits-all situation; however we hope these tips can help you master the proper eyebrow defining technique for impeccably groomed brows.

Find the right shade for your eyebrows

Closely observe the undertones of the brow makeup you try—not just how dark or light a color is. We advise consulting an in-store makeup artist on the shade breakdown or you can refer to this amazing guide we found online.

Shade your brows don’t color them throughout

When filling in your brows focus on the sparse areas. Filing in doesn’t mean your brows need to be one color from one end to the other. Also we recommend using two shades as everyone’s hair is multi-tonal.

Focus on the arch

The arch is obviously where you want the most definition, so ensure you build up the intensity at the peak of your brow.

Always use a spoolie brush

In the beginning, use your spoolie to brush out your brows in place. Once your done defining and filling, finish with a few strokes to smudge any harsh markings.

Brow gel is essential

Brow gel basically sets all the hardwork you’ve put in doing up your brows in place so it lasts from dusk till dawn. Brow wax also works well.

Clean and Shape

Apply a thin line of concealer along the bottom edge of the eyebrow for clean defined edges and add a bit of highlighter above the arch to emphasize your gorgeous bold brows.

Bonus Tip

Thread or tweeze after having a shower. The warm water during the shower will open up the pore making it less painful and easy to remove all the hair.
