Easy and Simple Steps to Fill in Your Eyebrows

 

If you’re looking to tidy up your eyebrows and give them a bit of extra definition, you’ve come to the right place! We’ll show you how to fill in your brows like a pro, step-by-step. In no time, you’ll be ready to flaunt your flawlessly manicured brows.

1. Brush out your brows using a brow brush

Brushing out your brows will help you get an idea of what areas need to be filled in. It will also let you know of any stray hairs that need to be removed.

2. Use tweezers to remove any stray hair

Remove all stray hair above and below your brow using tweezers. To obtain the most outstanding results, repeat the process between your two brows. It is not necessary to remove all of the stray hairs.

3. Draw a line beneath your brow using an eyebrow pencil

To avoid an artificial appearance, choose a color similar to your brow’s natural color but not the same color as your brow. You may want to choose a color that is a few shades lighter. Follow the shape of your brow by painting delicate strokes along its bottom.

4. Measure the width of eyebrows

You may now measure the inner portion of your brow by holding the eyebrow brush vertically on your nose at the place where your nostrils flare out. Keeping your eyebrows aligned with this position, you should remove any hair that goes beyond this point.

5. Measure your brow’s length using the brow pencil

Draw a diagonal line across your brow pencil starting at the outside corner of your nose. It’s okay to draw a line outside your eye’s crease, all the way to your eyebrow.

6. Do eyebrows with pencil for a natural arch

Using an eyebrow pencil, draw diagonally across both brows from the outside corner of your nose inward. To produce a natural arch, draw a line from your iris to the top of your eyebrow. You can even fill in thin eyebrows with a pencil rather than gel or pomade for a more natural look.

  1. Choose your eyebrow powder according to your brow color (optional)

When filling your brows, make sure the color you choose is a suitable match for your skin tone before getting started. Brown eyebrow powder is best for those with a darker complexion, while red eyebrow powder is best for lighter complexions.

8. Apply some brow powder to your brows to fill them in

With a brush and a small amount of brow powder, fill in your brows, but only after removing any excess brow powder. Then, using the brow powder, define the top and bottom of your brush, starting at the arc.

9. Outline the brows with gentle strokes

Begin by drawing a line from your brow arch to your brow’s outer edge. Outline the brows with gentle strokes and no powder. Adding volume to the outer brows creates a more natural look. Your brows will be fuller. Apply brow powder with a spoolie brush for a natural look. Use brow powder to make your brows appear more defined.

10. Observe how your eyebrows appear

Measure your eyebrows using the method mentioned above to see whether you’ve correctly defined and filled in your eyebrows. Examine the length of the piece to see whether it is too short and has to be stretched or if it is a little too long and needs to be shortened.

How to Pick Your Perfect Brow Shape?

If you’re wondering how to pick the perfect brow shape for your face, know that it starts with understanding which shapes work best with certain face types. Once you have that information down, you can then begin to look for the brow shape that is an ideal fit for your specific face shape.

To get started, follow these steps to find the perfect brow shape for you:

Step 1: Find the starting point

Line your brow pencil from the side of your nose and the inner corner of your eye. This is your starting point.

Step 2: Find the arch point

Shift the pencil guide from your inner corner to the center of your eyeball. Look straight; the point where the pencil meets your brows when lining the side of your nose and middle of your eyeball is your arch point.

Step 3: Find the finish point

To find the endpoint, line the brow pencil against the side of your nose and the outer end of your eye. This is where your brow should end.

Join the three points obtained through this method, and you have a brow shape that perfectly suits your face!

Some brow and face shape combinations are:

  • Round: High-arched eyebrow
  • Long: Straight, low-lying arch
  • Oval: Levelled brows with slight arches
  • Square: Soft arches
  • Heart: Thick straight brow with rounded arch

Mistakes to Avoid While Filling in Eyebrows

Understanding that eyebrow makeup is an art is key, no matter how long you’ve been doing brows or if you’re just getting started. Patience and a willingness to try new things are essential if you want to achieve the look you desire. Here are some of the most common mistakes people make when filling in their brows:

1. You’re using the incorrect brow product

There are many products available on the market to help you achieve the perfect brows, from powders and pomades to pencils, waxes, and gels. The type of product you use will depend on your personal style and skill level. For example, a pencil is ideal for filling in bald spots, while pomades are great for thickening or darkening your brows if you already have them. Waxes and gels are best suited for women with thick brows because of their slight tint.

2. Using the wrong shade of eyebrow makeup

Use brow products that are lighter than your hair color. If your  has a dark tone, it may appear harsh or obvious instead of natural and effortless.

3. The space between your brows is over-emphasized

It is possible to draw attention away from your brows by using the wrong color or formula or over-emphasizing the space between your brows.

4. Your brush is caked with too much makeup

When it comes to beautiful brows, even if your brows are sparse in hair, you don’t need as much product as you think. Focus on delicate areas of the brow rather than the entire brow. To avoid a heavy-handed appearance, do not add too much makeup to your brush. Also, lighten brush strokes with a toothbrush, brow brush, or spoolie.

5. Your brows are filled in with brow pencils even before groomed

The makeup process will be easier and faster if your brows are waxed or threaded before filling in your eyebrows.

6. Change brow shapes

Unique brow shapes, such as the boxy shape, are not common. To understand how your brows should look, examine your baby pictures (pre-plucking, waxing, threading, etc.). Once you have determined how your brows naturally look, stay within those boundaries.

7. Plucking brows excessively

Brows come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s important to know how to groom them correctly! Over-plucking or plucking too frequently can damage the look and shape of your brows, so it’s best to take it easy. A thin layer of gel can help keep brows in place and looking their best – simply brush it upward to create a full, defined look.

8. One size fits all

While experimenting with your eyebrows, be wary of the fact that it’s not always a one-size-fits-all when it comes to filling in brows!

If you have a round or oval face shape, eyebrows with a lot of drama may work marvelously. Wear less foundation, and let your eyes do all the talking! As always, practice makes you perfect – whether you do eyebrows with pencil, gel, or pomade, keep practicing, and you will master the art of filling in your brows in no time.
