Using Stencils

An easy way to get fabulous, full brows is to use an eyebrow stencil. There are hundreds on the market at the moment - but you just need to make sure that the stencil is the right shape for you. If the arch of the brow is too high, your brows will look completely unnatural, so make sure that you've chosen something that's the right shape. You can use stencils in a few ways - you can either fill them in using an eyebrow pencil and light strokes for "drawn on" brows or alternatively, you can fill them in, then pluck away anything that doesn't fit into the stencil. Using the stencil regularly - plucking anything that doesn't fit and filling them in only when necessary means that your brows will soon be beautiful without the need to fill them in everyday.

Drawing Your Eyebrows

There's a bit of a trend at the moment for brows that are very thick and very unnatural looking. The best possible way to draw your brows on is to use an eyebrow pencil that's just a shade darker than your natural hair. When filling in, use light, gentle strokes (rather than coloring in) so that the pencil strokes look like eyebrow hairs - it looks much more natural.

Let your natural eyebrow shape shine through and try not to mask them too much. You can also use eyeshadow and eyebrow powders, although these can be fairly heavy and can make it obvious that you've drawn your eyebrows on - but if this is the look you're after, go for it. Some makeup artists also recommend using two different shades of concealer just above and just below the eyebrows once in place. Not only do they help stop the eyebrow color shifting around your face, but also, they help to make them really stand out.

Taming Unruly Brows

If your brows are a little on the unruly side, you might need to use a brow wax or a brow gel to keep them in place. They help to soften brows that are slightly OTT, which can make you look much younger. Can't find brow wax? Simply use a little bit of clear mascara and a mascara wand and it'll do exactly the same job. Easy peasy!

You can also get your eyebrows tinted, if they're started to turn a little bit grey or if they're losing their color - most of the time, tints cost just $5 and they can really make your brows stand out. Plus, because the tint actually colors your individual hairs, it looks much more natural than a powder or gel sitting on top of the brows.

Use small scissors to carefully trim any excessively long eyebrow hairs. Be cautious not to cut too much at once; trim gradually until you achieve the desired length. Stay consistent with your eyebrow grooming routine. Regularly pluck stray hairs and trim long ones to keep your eyebrows looking tidy. Be mindful not to overuse brow products, especially those with a heavy texture. Too much product can weigh down the hairs and make them appear unnatural.
