Brows are back and bolder than ever. That’s right: Gone are the days that pencil thin brows were a major fad. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to embrace this beauty trend!
FIGURE OUT YOUR BROW SHAPE
Take the time to determine your perfect brow shape before you start tweezing away. Your eyebrows accentuate your facial structure, so it’s important to determine which shape suits your face best. If you have a square face, the best eyebrow shape for you is gently curved. This brow shape helps soften your facial features. If you have a round face, the best eyebrow shape for you would be one that’s more angular since they can give you the illusion of defined bone structure. If you have a heart-shaped face, keep your brows well-groomed and remember: when you’re plucking your brows, only pluck from the underside to help keep the top of your arch in perfect shape. Lastly, if you have a long face, go for slightly extended brows.
USE A BROW GEL FOR FULLER-LOOKING BROWS
Fake full brows with a brow gel. The L’Oréal Paris Unbelievabrow Longwear Waterproof Brow Gel is a longwear brow gel that comes with a brush and spoolie for easy application.
GO ONE SHADE LIGHTER TO FILL IN YOUR BROWS
When it comes to filling in your eyebrows, using a shade that’s too dark—even just slightly—can really come off as unnatural looking. Instead, whether you’ve chosen to use eyebrow makeup, use a shade slightly lighter than your natural eyebrows. Trust us, it will look much more natural and help keep your brows from appearing drawn on—even if they are.
TRY A BROW BLENDER FOR SOFTER-LOOKING BROWS
The L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Kabuki Blender is a creamy crayon available in three blendable shades that can be used on their own or mixed together to create a custom hue. To use, fill in your brows using the tip of the crayon, build to your desired intensity, and blend with the kabuki blending brush on the opposite end.
USE A SMALL AMOUNT OF CONCEALER TO HELP ACCENTUATE YOUR BROWS
Just as your highlighter helps accentuate all your best features, a small amount of concealer can help accentuate your brows. Apply just a teeny amount along the outer edges of your arches using an angled brush to create super sharp arches.
