There are so many ways to style and shape your eyebrows that you can quickly feel overwhelmed. No two eyebrows are the same, meaning the path to the “perfect” brows looks a little different for everyone. Still, there are some general tips, tricks, and hacks you can try to achieve your goal. Here you will find the best professional methods on how to make up your eyebrows naturally.
Choose the right product to make up your eyebrows naturally
Makeup artists recommend using different eyebrow products depending on your hair growth. If you have thick, bushy eyebrows, you should choose a brow gel that tames the hairs and keeps them in shape. For thin eyebrows that need more shape, use an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder to create volume and shape.
If you have dark hair, choose a color that's one or two shades lighter than the natural color of your brows. On the other hand, if you have light hair and want to deepen your eyebrows, you can opt for a shade that is half a shade to a shade darker.
Make up your eyebrows naturally for an elegant look
Filling in your brows is a great way to define them. Here's how to frame your face and polish up your look. Grab some brow pencils, small brushes and eyebrow powder and read on to get started!
First brush out the brows
Brushing out your eyebrows will give you an idea of which areas need filling. This will also help you determine if there are some hairs that need to be removed.
Use tweezers to remove any stray hairs above and below the brow. For best results, repeat the process between your two eyebrows.
Outline the eyebrows
Using a thin eyebrow pencil, draw symmetrical “twin” outlines for each eyebrow. Start at the bottom of the brow and lightly trace the natural shape of your eyebrows.
The most important thing is that you create some shape with small, hair-like strokes. Make sure the front of your eyebrows don't look angled or too harsh. Additionally, you shouldn't pull the end of your eyebrows too far up, as this can drag the face down. To achieve a natural look, avoid a too pointed or exaggerated arch and instead focus on a simple and gentle curve.
If you want to soften prominent facial features or a strong jawline, you can use a gently rounded oneCreate brow shape. If you prefer to emphasize a round face and narrow features, flatter them with a clear, angular eyebrow.
How to fill in brows naturally?
If you've over-picked in the past, know that you're not alone. To conceal sparse eyebrows, you can fill them in with brow powder or a brow pencil.
- Filling in the eyebrows with a powder:Dab your brush (preferably a small, uncoiled eyebrow brush) into the brow powder, tap off some of the excess powder on the side of the powder container, and begin to lightly fill in the top and bottom of your brows. Continue at your brow bone and work your way down both sides. When filling in, follow the direction of your hair growth. Stay in the edges that you drew with the eyebrow pencil. You don't want to apply too much powder and go beyond where your eyebrow hairs actually are. Eyebrow powder is perfect if you just want to lightly fill in or darken your brows, and it only takes about a minute.
- Filling in with an eyebrow pencil:If you prefer thinner eyebrows, use a small tip brow pencil to mimic the look of your natural brows. Fill in the brows with two different eyebrow pencils, one lighter and one darker. Use the darker shade to fill in the outer areas, starting at the arch, and the lighter pencil to fill in the interior of the brows. Use light, short strokes that mimic natural hair growth.
- Fix eyebrow makeup:Once you've filled in your brows, use an eyebrow gel to set them. You can use a clear or colored fixative gel for even more accuracy. Sweep the brush upward and outward through the eyebrows to gently blend the pencil strokes into the natural brow hairs. Now gently stroke your eyebrows using short, upward strokes.
Finally clean the edges
Use a concealer under your eyebrows instead of a highlighter. If you outline them with highlighter, you can bring the eyebrow arches too much into the foreground. Instead, opt for a concealer that's a shade lighter than your skin tone to brighten your brow area and stillto look completely natural.
