How to Pencil in Eyebrows
- From the beginning of your eyebrow to the arch, use an eyebrow pencil that matches the color of the hair on your head. Use short stokes imitating hair.
- Beginning at the arch switch to a second eyebrow pencil that is two shades lighter than the darker pencil to finish your brow. Again, use short strokes imitating hair.
- To complete the look, brush the brows with an eyebrow brush to soften noticeable pencil lines.
How to Choose Eyebrow Makeup Colors
- 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.
How to Create Fuller Looking Eyebrows
Use eyebrow makeup in a powder form instead of an eyebrow pencil.
If
you have just plucked your eyebrows and the skin is red, put a light
coating of lemon lid primer on your skin before adding color to your
brows; yellow based cosmetics are good for concealing red.
Two
powder colors; two high quality application brushes; one with a spoolie
on the end; a small pair of tweezers that work; lemon lid primer; and
eyebrow wax.
The wax can be put on before
you apply the powders if you want a lot of pay-off. Otherwise, color
your brows and then put a light coating of wax on top to hold them.
