How to Fill in Eyebrows with Eyebrow Pencil
First start off by brushing your eyebrow hairs outwards, then grab an eyebrow pencil that is a close shade to your hair color, this tip also applies to colored hair. So if you dyed your hair a lighter color, aim for a lighter pencil for example.
Follow these steps to fill in your eyebrows with a eyebrow pencil:
- Outline your eyebrow starting from the bottom. With a light hand, draw a few strokes of small hairs following the natural direction of your eyebrows. Pencils are the perfect product for this kind of look.
- Blend out those lines to make them look less harsh. This is the most important pro tip for how to do eyebrows with makeup.
- Draw your arch, again with light pencil strokes. An important step on how to fill in eyebrows perfectly is to define your arch in a nice-but natural- way.
- Using the brush you used before (or an old mascara brush), smoothly run through those lines again to make them blend in with your natural eyebrow hairs. For this method, there are plenty of products out there that can do the job. From high-end brands to drugstore ones, you can choose your preferred eyebrow pencil.
How To Fill in Eyebrows With Powder
How is a powder product different from a pencil? Well, using an eyebrow powder is the best product for ladies looking for the most natural outcome possible, meaning that they want defined eyebrows, but minus the overdone sharpie-eyebrow look.
Follow these steps to fill in your eyebrows with powder:
- First of all, find a small angled brush that will help you pick up enough powder to fill in your eyebrows. Then, choose two slightly different shades of powder. This tip is especially helpful for blondes, as a very dark eyebrow look can look too unnatural and draw unnecessary attention to them.
- Once you’ve selected the perfect shades, start from the middle section of your brow with the darkest shade. Fill in the spare spaces in that area, then continue the movement to define the end of your brow.
- Get the light-toned powder now and fill in the start of your eyebrows with that shade.
Pro tip: If you can’t find the perfect shades in eyebrow powders, you can use eyeshadows. Yes, it is totally safe and practical to use those beautiful brown shades from your palette to fill in your eyebrows.
