SIX TIPS FOR GREAT BROWS 1. Brush them! Use a clean eyebrow brush or an eyebrow gel to feather the inner corners of your brows, and tame any unruly hairs into a clean shape. 2. Symmetry. Evening out unsymmetrical brows can help to give balance to the whole face! Have an honest look in the mirror, and do your best to use pencil or powder to add color and shape where it is needed. 3. STOP OVERPLUCKING! Let them grow. Natural brows are all the rage. 4. Pencil vs Powder? Both work well, but I prefer a pencil, as it gives more control and definition. 5. Give yourself time. Filling in brows can take even a skilled artist up to 5 minutes to get it right. Be patient with yourself, adding brow pencil into your routine may take some time to get used to. You may not be able to perfect it right away, but don’t let this discourage you! It is a skill worth learning, and practice makes perfect. 6. Don’t go to heavy with the makeup. This is the most common mistake. When it comes to brow pencil, less is truly more. Fill in only the areas where it is needed. It is not necessary to use makeup on the whole brow. Also be sure to use a light hand! 1.Mac cosmetics- Pro longwear waterproof brow set in toasted blonde 2.
