Eyebrow Makeup
For well shaped, natural looking eyebrows follow these simple eyebrow makeup tips using two shades of eyebrow pencils instead of one.
How to pencil in eyebrows
- Choose two shades of eyebrow pencil for your eyebrow makeup; one close to the color of your hair, and another a shade or two lighter. than the darker pencil.
- Use the darker pencil to make short light strokes from the beginning of the eyebrow to the arch.
- After the arch, switch to your lighter pencil. With soft strokes, finish the ends of the brow.
- To complete the look, brush the brows with an eyebrow brush to soften any noticeable pencil lines.

How to create eyebrows that appear fuller - Use eyebrow makeup in a powder form instead of an eyebrow pencil. Apply with a stiff angled eyebrow brush, then topcoat with clear eyebrow gel.
How to soften eyebrow pencil marks - Brush eyebrows with a stiff eyebrow brush after shaping them with an eyebrow pencil. This softens the pencil marks so that the eyebrows appear more natural.
To add color and volume to your existing eyelashes, use tinted eyebrow gel.
How to use mascara to help shape your brows - For eyebrows that are naturally dark:
- Apply a small amount of mascara on the thickest part of the eyebrow up to the arch.
- With a stiff eyebrow brush, pick up some mascara from before the arch and sweep it forming the tail of the eyebrow.
- Brush entire brow with a stiff brush and then shape.
When not to use mascara on eyebrows
- If you only have a few eyebrow hairs left;or,
- If your eyebrows are naturally very light in color - unless you can find a mascara to match your color.
Buy colors mimicking the hair color on your head. EXCEPT…
- If your hair is gray and your skin tone is ivory or beige, use soft blonde or taupe colors on your eyebrows. Grey on gray will wash you out.
- If your hair is gray and your skin tone is olive or darker, choose from the line of brown eyebrow makeup.

For eyebrows with a few gray hairs, try using a tinted eyebrow gel. Because you will only be tinting your eyebrows, choose a color that matches the color of your current brows...minus the gray of course!
What are Eyebrow Stencils - Eyebrow stencils are stencils in the shape of the "perfect" eyebrow. As a rule, one package of reusable eyebrow stencils contain a few different shapes. Adhesive-backed eyebrow stencils seem to be the stencil of choice.
How to use eyebrow stencils -
- When laying out an eyebrow stencil, first begin by matching the arch of the stencil to your own eyebrow arch.
- Using your darker eyebrow pencil, sketch in the thickest part of the eyebrow all the way to the arch.
- Upon reaching the arch, switch to a lighter eyebrow pencil (a pencil two shades lighter than your daker pencil) to finish the "tail".
Note: Some stencils have a line down the center part of the stencil. This is an arch line.
