What's missing from your makeup routine?
Let’s talk about something that may be missing from your
makeup routine, but can make a huge difference in your overall look.
Eyebrows.
Yes, eyebrows. Did you know that filling in your eyebrows can make your makeup
look more professional and put together? In my opinion, this often-forgotten
makeup step, makes the biggest, and best, difference to any makeup look.
Having a good hair day can boost my confidence and make my
look feel complete. However, while many women take the time to do their hair,
some don’t take the few extra minutes to add some extra definition to their
eyebrows.
Eyebrows frame the face and can make your makeup look go
from pretty, to well balanced and put together.
The sculpted and defined eyebrow, which began with the 50s
pin up look, reappeared and took off just the past few years and escalated with
the release of many, new eyebrow products.
On the high end makeup spectrum, Anastasia Beverly Hills is
queen of the eyebrow world with her famous eyebrow pencils, brushes, powders, and
other brow products. Just within the past year, however, drugstore brands have
released many eyebrow products that even rival Anastasia’s products. Check out
the eyebrow products created by NYX cosmetics to see some exact dupes for
hyped-up Anastasia products.
Some people may prefer brow powders (you can even use
eyeshadow for this), some prefer pomades, which hold in eyebrow hairs into
place well, and others may like eyebrow pencils to create realistic hair
strokes. I suggest using a powder or pencil for those who are just
experimenting with your brows or just want a light fill-in.
Whatever you use,
practice filling out the shape of your brow a few times because it may take a
few tries to get the shape that you want. I like to create a line along the
bottom of my brow and then fill in upwards until my brows looks uniform and
more prominent.
Quick tip: if you have dark hair, opt for a brow color
that’s slightly lighter than your hair color. If you have light hair, go a
little darker with your eyebrow pencil.
Not only can filling in your eyebrows make your face look
more put together, it also compliments any eye shadow you use because it
creates a frame for your eyeshadow. After doing your eyebrows, put a
light/white eyeshadow under your brow to highlight the brow bone and complete
the brow look. If you get a little messy with your eyebrow products, use some
of your concealer to clean up any mistakes.
There are many different ways and products you can use to sculpt out or lightly fill in those lovely eyebrows of yours. The goal is to fill in those sparse, or hairless areas of the eyebrows to make them look uniform and add definition to the eye area. Keep practicing until those eyebrows are on fleek!
