I don’t want to spend more than ten minutes on my face in the morning, and I usually don’t, except for those times I can’t seem to get my eyebrows to behave. If you struggle with shaping your eyebrows, here are some simple tips to help you easily reach your full brow potential every single time.
Tame any errant hairs
Whether you tweeze, wax or thread your eyebrows, it’s important to keep them looking their best. Remember, It’s far easier to tame a kitten then a jungle beast.
Forget trying to get your eyebrows to match
Eyebrows shouldn’t be identical twins, instead, think of them as sisters or distant cousins. Simply keeping that in mind will significantly reduce the pressure you feel when you perch yourself in front of your makeup station.
Start with an eyebrow powder
If the idea of doing your eyebrows gives you heart palpitations, then start with a brow powder. You will yield far better results using a powder than a pomade or pencil. That’s because you’ll have a greater chance of achieving a more natural look since you can easily buff the powder away to soften any harsh lines. Check out my daily morning brow routine below, you’ll find a list of the materials you may want to use in your own regimen.
Materials
- Spoolie
- Eyebrow powder
- Angled brow brush
- Eyebrow pencil
- Brow gel
Instructions
- Use the spoolie to reign in any errant hairs and to shape your brows in the direction you want them.
- Dip the angled eyebrow brush into your brow powder and tap away any excess before drawing your brows.
- Make sure you use light, subtle strokes. A heavy hand will result in harsher lines.
- At this point, you may want to go over your brows with your spoolie to achieve a more natural look.
- At times, just using brow powder is not enough, especially in areas where your brow hairs are a little sparse. In this case, you’ll want to go over any spotty areas with a brow pencil, just make sure to mimic the look of natural brow hairs with your hand movements.
- Spread a thin coating of eyebrow gel onto each brow, this will ensure your brows stay in place for the duration of the day.
