There’s one easy way to get a face that’s unforgettable, and that’s by having the perfect brow. Often time people have asked me if I stuck on my brows but the answer is very simple its called: brow grooming.

You have to understand that to get the brow that you want and suits your face, you shouldn’t be tweezer/razor happy. Give your brows time to grow. You always get the best of your brows when they are in their natural “unshaped” form. Also, fix an appointment with a makeup artist or an aesthetician to help you for the first time. If you watch attentively you could do it yourself the next time.

Here’s 2 quick and easy ways to fill your brows.

Products Used

Brow Pencil

Spoolie/Brow Brush

Concealer/Highlighter

How to

Method 1

I usually start by brushing my brows with a spoolie brush then I start filling the brows from below. First draw a line (the line shouldn’t be thick, just faint to emphasize the brows) from the beginning of your brow to the highest point (remember, we are starting from the bottom). Then draw the top line from the beginning of the brow to the highest point. Then from the highest point (arch), fill the brows to the end. Already your brow should be looking defined. Next fill in between the top and bottom lines you’ drew earlier. Don’t fill in the pencil too deeply so your brow don’t look to dark. Comb through with spoolie brush and remember to do that at intervals.

Method 2

This is one method I don’t use every time but one in a while I’ve had to use it on a couple of my clients. Not that I’m saying it’s a difficult method, I just don’t use it very often. Using this method after brushing your brows out with the spoolie brush, apply your pencil from the highest point of your brow to the end. Then carefully fill in along the line of your natural brow. Remember to fill in lightly and use your spoolie to reduce excess product on your brow.

After filling my brows I usually highlight before I use any color on…I prefer to use a concealer just a shade lighter than my skin tone. To do this apply just a little concealer with an angled brush beneath your brow and blend into the eye area.

To give it that extra pop…use a little foundation/concealer above the brow, the effect is unbelievable
