What I use:
1. Spoolie brush
2. Two concealers (mac studio fix concealer):
- I use 1 concealer(nc45) that is 1-2 shades lighter than my skin tone
- I also use 1 concealer (nc50) that is the exact shade as my skin tone.
3. Maybeline Define-a-brow pencil in dark brown.
4. Angled brush
5. blending brush (mac 224)
The top picture is how my natural eyebrows look. Obviously, you can tell, I over pluck them just a little too much...lol. Dont judge me...
The bottom picture, is the complete look after they have been groomed and drawn, and then cleaned up with concealer.
Top picture: Every morning when I do my makeup, I usually run a spoolie brush through them. This makes the hairs fall in one direction.
Bottom picture: As you can see, my eyebrows are thin in some places. This is where I usually use the Maybeline "define-a-brow" to fill them in. Using a dark brown pencil, I start tracing the shape of my brows from the inner edge. Don't use black, it makes your brows appear to harsh and unnatural. Always use gentle strokes when tracing the shape of your brows, you don't want to draw a direct line. Follow the shape of your natural brows, while also keeping in mind of the guidelines that were explained in the previous post.
Top Picture: I start off by tracing both the bottom shape of the brows and then the top shape of the brows.
Bottom Picture: Once the top and bottom shape of the brows have been traced, then I fill in the middle.After your brows are traced and drawn to your liking, you can still see that the bottom picture, still looks "boxy" and very unnatural. It still looks obvious that they are drawn in.
Top Picture: Using a spoolie, I run them through my brows again. Gently, concentrating more on the inner edge of the brows. You don't want the inner edge of the brows to look too harsh, blend it out a little bit so that it looks more natural and the brown pencil blends in with your natural hairs.
Bottom picture: Using the concealer that is 1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone, follow the bottom shape of your brows while using the angled brush.
Top Picture: Using the concealer that is exactly the same shade as your skin tone, follow the top shape of your brows.
Bottom picture: With a blending brush, I use Mac's 224 brush, but you can use any blending brush that will blend the concealer at the top and the bottom of your brows. The goal is to blend the concealer until it completely blends into your skin, and becomes unnoticeable, very much like the bottom picture.
The reason why I used a concealer that was 1-2 shades lighter than my skin tone under the brows, is really because I wanted it to highlight the arch of my brows. It really gives a clean edge and shapes your brows perfectly, to the point where it looks like you just got your brows professionally done.
To be honest, it took me awhile to get my eyebrows perfect to the shape that I like. But with practice, you will perfect your skills.
Please feel free to ask me any questions, especially if you want me to clarify on some of the steps :)
