Do you have straight eye brows? Or just lacking in thickness? Well I have a solution that can solve all your eyebrow troubles! This trick will help you to create a thicker, longer or curved brow and I can tell you all you need to know!
Firstly you need to create your base makeup. This means your foundation and your contouring. Don't forget your powders as well for setting your base makeup and to create that wow factor! DO NOT start your eye makeup this means eye shadow, mascara anything! The reason behind this is because your eyebrows will sculpt your face meaning your eyeshadow should be working to fit into your brows so you have to wait until you have completed your eyebrows!
The products and Makeup brushes I will be using in this tutorial are:
1) Brow and lash brush - Mine is a really old number 7 brush which is no long sold but theres plenty more like the Real techniques lash and brow groomer, it is a really good one at a decent price of £7.99. These things last forever and are so worth having!
2) The body shop - Slanted Brush £9.
This is the best brush you will ever own as can be used for more than one thing! I use it to define and darken the eyebrow and also works the same for the eye socket! Could a girl possibly ask for anything else!
3) Rimmel - eyebrow pencil £2.99.
I personally don't feel like you need a really expensive eyebrow pencil. I can't live without this pencil as it doesn't move i can put it on in the morning and know that my eyebrows will look the same through till night time, and the best thing is its not too expensive!
4) Sleek makeup - i-Divine palette in au natural £7.99.
This is the best palette ever! Again at a really good price you get so many colours that can be used for your eyebrows and your eye sockets. In this palette I use the chocolate brown because it's a perfect match to my hair colour!
After you have completed your base makeup you will need to prepare your eyebrows!
- Using the thicker bristles of your brow and lash makeup brush (looking at my photo it would be on the right side of the brush). Use this tool to brush through your brow in a slight upwards movement. This will make such a difference to your brow!
- As you can see in this photo my left brow has been brushed and you can really tell!
Once you have brushed both brows out you will then need your eye brow pencil so you can start to reshape your eyebrows!
MAKE SURE you have matched your eye pencil and your eye shadows to the colour of your hair. The worst thing is to have different coloured eyebrows everyone!
- Start from where your brows begin to arch and end where they begin to thin and end, creating more of an arch in your eyebrows.
REMEMBER - Do not draw your eyebrow in yet, only create a line to reshape them!
- It should look a little like this.
Once you have used the pencil to reshape your brows you will need to then get your angled makeup brush and your eye shadows so we can start to darken the eyebrow.
- Get the smallest amount of eye shadow onto your angled brush making sure you blow off all extra powder. You do not want dark eyebrows, build up the colour gradually, this will create a more natural looking brow!
- When starting to fill in your eyebrows start by going from the middle to the end. This will help create a more natural brow as this half needs to be darker.
- As you work your way up to the start of the brow begin to use less and less eye shadow because I'm sure you all know an eye brow is not all one colour, the colour will gradually get darker as you go down the brow so always make the start lighter. This will help your brows look natural!
- Once you have completed colouring in your eyebrows you will then need to get your lash and brow brush and comb your brows through again. This will dull them down a bit and also get ride of the powder effect the eye shadow would have given them!
Look at the difference, amazing!
Once you have completed both eye brows you can then finish your eye makeup and then you'll be ready to hit the town!
It's just as easy as that!
