Using eyebrow makeup involves shaping and defining your eyebrows to enhance your facial features. The following steps explain how to use eyebrow makeup, incorporating shaping and styling techniques:
-
Shaping with a Spoolie: Use a spoolie (a clear mascara wand) to brush your eyebrows into the desired shape. Brushing upwards and outwards helps to define the natural arch and direction of your brows. This prepares them for further makeup application.
-
Filling In: Use a brow pencil, powder, or pomade to fill in sparse areas. Apply the product in short, light strokes that mimic the direction of your natural hair growth. Focus on areas where your eyebrows are naturally thin or patchy.
-
Defining the Shape: Outline the desired shape of your eyebrows with the product you are using. Pay attention to the arch and tail of your brow.
-
Blending: After filling in and defining your brows, use the spoolie again to blend the product. This softens harsh lines and creates a more natural look.
-
Setting (optional): For long-lasting results, you can set your eyebrow makeup with a clear or tinted brow gel. This helps to hold the hairs in place and prevent smudging.
