Quick Tips: Getting the Perfect Eyebrows!

By Ezinne Onyearugha.  Eyebrows need to be well-groomed at all times! I do not think I emphasize this enough. Even without any makeup, perfectly shaped eyebrows gives your face a whole new look.

First of all, brush the brow hairs up wards and if there are any stray hairs, use a small pair of scissors to trim them and a pair of tweezers to pluck out any that is out of line. Be careful not to go overboard with that.

Use a brow pencil (much easier & quicker), dark brown for example for dark skin tones, depending on the shade (never black). Draw a short straight line at the bottom part of the brow, the top part, and then fill in sparse areas so that it can look a lot fuller.

Use an angled eyebrow brush to go over it to take away harsh lines.

Then use a flat brush to apply a little concealer around the eyebrow… this creates a more distinctive shape and then blend. And VIOLA, you’ll get the best looking eyebrows!
