Tutorial! How to Fill in Eyebrows

Ah, the brow.  It can have many shapes, many colors, and just about everyone has two of them!  It's also a feature that can really make or break a look.

So, how do you fill in a brow?  Well, there are several different techniques, and I'm going to tell you about mine.

First, the tools.  I use:

- CoverGirl Brow and Eye Makers in Midnight Brown 

- Maybelline Ultra Brow Brush On Color in Light Brown

- an angled makeup brush with very stiff bristles

Brow, before:

First, I trace the top and bottom of my brow line with the pencil.

Next I lightly fill in the brow with a pencil stroke here and there.

Then I use the angled brush to blend the color throughout my brow line.

Then I go over all of that with a little bit of brow powder.  Now, using only the product left on the brush, I soften the start of the brow (closest to the nose), to make sure there aren't any harsh lines or un-blended product.

Finally, to soften the look, I lightly wipe each brow from inner corner to outer corner, with a clean tissue.  I didn't do that for the pictures, because photos tend to wash out color a bit.  Just one swipe will do it, and don't press too hard, or you'll wipe it all right off.

So here I am before:

Now with one brow done:

And both brows done:
