Eyebrow Makeup | Hermagic
Eyebrows frame the eyes and can dramatically impact your facial features and expression. Getting the right eyebrow shape and using brow makeup products to fill them in or enhance them is an integral part of many makeup routines. The eyebrow makeup category includes pencils, powders, gels, and pomades to help sculpt, define, and shade the brows. Filling in sparse areas, adding colour, and setting the hairs in place are common eyebrow makeup techniques. Well-shaped and defined eyebrows can provide a polished, put-together look and the right brow style can balance facial features, complement eye makeup, and allow you to customize your appearance. With the vast range of brow products and tools available today, it’s easier than ever to experiment with eyebrow makeup application and make this key aspect of your makeup stand out.
Tips and tricks for getting perfect eyebrows with makeup
- Shape the brows by holding a pencil vertically against the side of your nose. This shows where brows should start. Also, ensure the brow arches don’t go past the outer edge of your iris.
- Use short, feathered pencil strokes when filling in sparse areas to mimic real brow hairs. Avoid harsh, blocked lines.
- Fill in any gaps by tracing the underside of your natural arch. Do not over-pluck above the brows between the eyes.
- Brush brows upwards and trim any hairs longer than the others. Then brush down and repeat trimming strays.
- Using an angled brush, use quick strokes with brow pomade or powder to fill in areas that need more definition.
- The inner corners near the nose should have lighter, shorter strokes. Slowly increase pressure to taper out to the arch tail.
- Take a clean spooly to brush product through brows, blending any harsh lines for a natural look.
- Use a setting gel or wax to keep finished brows in place all day long. Run the comb through as you apply the product.
- For extra definition, carve out the top line with a flat concealer brush and highlight shade. Avoid going too thick.
- When first learning, use stencils to guide your arch shape. Practice taupe powders over pomades for soft application.
- Always do your brows prior to eye makeup. Any excess shadow or powder is easier to clean up.
