Our eyebrows frame our face, they allow us to show emotion, and can drastically change the way we look. I will teach you how to up your eyebrow game faster than you can say "Cara Delevingne."
Step 1: Determine what brow shape you want
High, arch, defined, thick, smooth, thin, tadpoles? Take into consideration your face shape. Oval shaped faces look best with a curved arch or round shaped faces like myself look best with defined brows.
Step 2: Grooming
Keep those babies tamed and fresh by visiting your preferred method of grooming. Threading keeps them nice and clean, but is an eight out of ten on the pain scale. Waxing is quick, but just as painful. Make sure to tweeze those stubborn hairs that sprout up between sessions. Also, trim them from getting unruly. I prefer going to the Benefit Brow Bar where waxing eyebrows is their specialty. Do some eras reach to find the best place for you.
Step 3: Pick Your Weapon of Choice
Determine what product that you would like to use. Find and watch tutorials on YouTube to get an idea of brow products that are out there. It ranges from brow gels, pomade, pencils, powders, and brushes. I prefer using brow powders for a defined look and a pencil when I'm on one of my lazy days.
Step 4: Practice, YouTube, Practice
I can not stress the beauty of YouTube, it's an awesome resource for someone new to the eyebrow game. When you find someone that is helpful to your cause, make sure you practice. Girlfriend, I know you're not going to get it down on the first try. Some things to consider when giving it a go the first time.
- Color: Make sure you find a pigment close to your hair color. Sometimes colors are too red, ashy, or dark.
- Use a light hand: especially when using a pencil it's hard to be lighter handed, using small strokes to keep it looking as natural as possible.
- Eyebrows are sisters, not twins: so what if you can't get them perfect. Just make sure both are looking Gucci; not Walmart.
- Invest in a spooly brush: it makes a difference brushing the hairs so they stay into pace and blends the product so much better.
- Take your time: Rome wasn't built in a day, neither were your eyebrows.
Step 5: Take Risks and Have Fun
I can’t remember how many times I’ve messed up my eyebrows. From bad wax jobs to accidentally shaving half of one off. It’s okay, they’ll grow back. Over draw them or dye them pink
