EYEBROW MAKEUP

Take your look to the next level by giving your brows some loving care and attention. Use an eyebrow shaper to tame unruly brows, and you can add definition with a waterproof eyebrow pencil from Bobbi Brown. It’s easy to naturally shape your eyebrows for a look that’s sexy and sophisticated. Don’t feel daunted: with the right eyebrow kit you can achieve stunning results in a matter of minutes!

Filling in brows adds balance to facial features and defines an overall makeup look. You only need a few tools to fill in eyebrows: an eyebrow pencil like our Perfectly Defined Long-Wear Brow Pencil and its attached spoolie. Begin by using light, feathery strokes with the pencil to fill in brows. Make straight, not curved, strokes in an upward direction from the start of the brow to the arch, and then from the arch to the tail. This will give the appearance of brushed-up hairs for a fuller look.

To find the spot where your eyebrow should start, hold a pencil (or brow tool) against your nostril and align it with the inner corner of your eye. This determines where your brow should begin. Knowing where your eyebrow starts helps you determine if you're over-tweezing the beginning of your natural brow.

Eyebrow colour may draw attention to or away from the eyes, depending on your brows’ natural colour and proportion to facial features, plus the shape, natural colour, and proportion of your eyes. In any case, eyebrow colour is entirely up to you and your own style. We believe you should go with what enhances your natural beauty and embodies your own true style.

Brow shaping, otherwise known as eyebrow arching, eyebrow design, or eyebrow grooming, is defining the shape of your eyebrows. Brow shaping defines your brows with the right eyebrow products so they frame your eyes in their ideal manner, giving you a harmonious and balanced look on your face. Any eyebrow definition starts with brow shape. An expert eyebrow artist knows how to map eyebrow shapes to your face type and will teach you how to fill in your brows in a way that compliments your features and eyebrow style.

To define your brows, start with the proper eyebrow tools and products. We recommend our Dual-Ended Brow Definer/Groomer Brush and our Brow Kit or an eyebrow pencil to add the definition that helps your brows stand out. First, brush your brows out using a spoolie to see your natural brow shape. Then fill any sparse areas and gaps between hairs by drawing hair-like strokes with your pencil. Next, sculpt your brow shape, and finally, brush through your brows with the spoolie to blend.

First, groom your eyebrows by trimming or tweezing long and stray brow hairs. After brow grooming is complete, use our Brow Kit (a compact with two brow powders and a mini brow brush) to create a brow shape. Use the lighter shade throughout the entire brow to help make it appear fuller, then use the darker shade along the outer edges for more precise definition.

Using an eyebrow comb and eyebrow tint brush, you can create the appearance of thicker, more dramatic brows. Bobbi Brown’s dual-ended brow defining brush combines two functions in one: a grooming brush to neaten your eyebrows, and an angled brush head with brow gel for definition. The advanced design will coat your brow hairs evenly with pigment, giving you perfectly smooth, picture-perfect brows. Get more info at How To: Naturally Brows.

The Bobbi Brown Natural Brows guide gives you step-by-step instructions for creating a look that’s defined yet natural. Use an eyebrow shaper with a brush-tip and a tinted gel to tame your brows, and give them more colour. This is the perfect solution for anyone looking to cover grey hairs or eyebrows that have become patchy from plucking. If your eyebrows are uneven, read our How to Fix Uneven Brows guide, which shows you how to easily solve this problem in a way that looks natural.

Once you’ve tamed your brows, complete the look with a matte, satin, cream or shimmer eye shadow from Bobbi Brown. Longwear eyeliner will also add glamour by drawing attention to your eyes and bringing out your unique beauty. All it takes is the right tools and a few moments to completely transform your appearance, making it possible for you to face every day feeling confident and glamorous.

Choosing the right eyebrow brush for you will depend on the type of eyebrow products you use, as well as on the final look you’re hoping to achieve. An angled eyebrow brush will give you maximum control and help you create beautifully defined eyebrows, while a definer brush is a perfect choice for those who prefer a natural brow.
