Tip-Full Tuesday: Eyebrows

I love how eyebrows can completely change your entire face! They are so expressive and with the ability to shape them, we are able to shape them in order to better fit our personalities. However, the downside to tweezing and waxing is that sometimes it leads to sparse brows as a result of over tweezing or waxing.

But - fear not! You can always fill in sparse brows with either an eyeliner pencil or eyeshadow.

The first thing you need to do is to pick the proper shade of pencil or powder - choose a color that is close to your natural brow color (generally one to two shades lighter than your hair color). If you have very blonde hair, choose a color that is one shade darker than your brows.

Next, comb out your brows so that they are in the shape that you would like.

If using a pencil, fill in sparse areas with short strokes that mimic the appearance of natural hair. You don't want to create a line, but a texture that appears like your natural browns.

If using a powder (eyeshadow or brow powder), use an angled brush and lightly dip in the shadow. Fill in sparse areas with short strokes.

The most important thing is to make sure that you like that shape and the appearance of your brows.
