It’s important to strike a balance if you want a natural put-together look. Learning how to fill in the eyebrows correctly can help to rejuvenate your look. The shape, arch, and thickness of our eyebrows can change our look dramatically. Keep reading to learn how to fill in the eyebrows with some simple steps.

Prep The Eyebrows

Remember to clean the eyebrows before filling in the brows. Make sure there’s no makeup on them. Then, use a brow brush to brush it. Do this with an upward motion from the inner eye to the arch. Then brush it horizontally from the arch to the outer brow. This will give it a lifting effect.

The second step is finding the shape of the eyebrow. Line an eyebrow pencil against the nose and inner corner of the eye. This is where the brow should start. Then line the pencil from the nose to the middle of the eyeball, cutting it in half. This is where the arch should be. The last step is to see where the brow ends. Line up the pencil from the nose to the outer eye. This will be the place where the brow should end. Having a well-shaped brow will make things easier to fill in the eyebrows. You can also get threading or tweezing help from professionals to get a good eyebrow shape.

Fill In Brows 

There are different products you can use for filing the eyebrows. You can use an eyebrow pencil or powder to do that. Draw the bottom part of the brows first. Next, draw along the top with an eyebrow pencil. This will create an outline of the brow shape so that you’ll know where to fill in. Follow the direction of the hair grown and use the pencil to make light strokes to create hair-like marks.

You will need to use an angled brush if you prefer using powder to fill in the brows. Dip the brush into the powder lightly and tap away the excess. Then outline the top and bottom lines of your brow. Use quick strokes to mimic the natural brow hairs until you have filled in all the sparse areas. Using the powder is a bit trickier than using the pencil. However, this method is preferred by some people because it allows more precision.

You can also use a brow gel to fill in the eyebrows. Simply brush over the brow hair using the small brush that comes with the gel. Dip the brush into the gel and remove any excess.  Next brush in the direction of the hair growth. It creates more definition and helps to shape the brows. Using the gel is ideal for women who want a more natural look.

Use a clean makeup brush to blend away any harsh lines for the last step. It can also be used to tidy up the edges.
