It's All in the Eyebrows!
MAY 2022
Eyebrows are the most important features on your face, not only serving to frame your eyes and draw attention to them, but they are also a form of expression and can work towards showing exactly how you are feeling. Not everyone is born with beautifully thick and perfectly aligned eyebrows – sometimes eyebrows can be sparse and have gaps in them.
Here are a few great ways to fill in your eyebrows to make them look thick, healthy and perfectly manicured.
Line them up- To find the beginning of your brow, take you eye pencil or some other straight object and place it against your nose pointing directly upwards. The starting point of your eyebrow should be in line with the pencil (and your nose!). If not, carefully tweeze any hairs before this point.
Find the end of your eyebrow- place the pencil or eyebrow brush at a diagonal angle from the outside corner of your nostril to the outside crease of you eye. If you want super long eyebrows, extend the line to your eyebrow bone, slightly further up on your face. This is where your eyebrow should end.
Find your natural arch-. To do this, place your pencil or eyebrow brush on a diagonal starting from the outside corner of your nostril, to the outside of your iris, which is the coloured part of your eye. Extend the pencil the top of your eyebrow and this will be the highest point of your eyebrow and the natural arch.
Underline your brows- Use a brow pencil to underline the bottom of your eyebrow. Remember to use soft, even stroke without pressing to hard – you want to create a soft, subtle look.. The underside of the eyebrow should look the most defined, while the rest will have a more natural look.
TIP: When choosing the correct shade of eyebrow pencil, always choose a lighter shade and not the same colour as your eyebrows. Brunettes should go for a caramel or blonde shade of pencil.
Finally, fill In–using light strokes of the pencil or powder, gently fill in the eyebrow, following the arch of the brow from the starting point to the finish. Stay within the natural margins of your eyebrow shape to create the most natural looking effect.
