Step by step how to perfect brows in 7 easy steps.

Start on your brows after you put on foundation.

Doing your brows after you put on foundation allows for you to control and keep the shape, not altering it with your foundation.

Brush your hairs up.

Have a little spoolie (think of it like a mascara brush) to brush up your eyebrow hairs. My favorite one is IT Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe™ Brow Power™ Universal Brow-Transformer Brush #21 ($24.00, ItCosmetics.com).  Williams’ explained, “Brushing your hairs up will help you see your natural browline so you know where to fill in sparse areas and give you more ‘hair’ to work with at the top.”

Follow your brow line.

Follow the natural shape of your browline underneath your brow. Do the same at the top.

Keep your natural shape.

So, I was creating this square shape, which is great if you want a defined brow. However, with summer approaching, I’m switching up my look to more natural, so Williams’ kept my circular shape. She used, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz Pencil ($21.00, Ulta.com).

Short strokes.

You want to emulate “hairs,” so short small strokes are the way to go.

Do not highlight above your brow with concealer.

I thought this was the one thing you are supposed to do regardless. I was wrong. Williams’ explained, “It makes the brow appear very defined and dramatic and unnatural.”

Do highlight below your brow.

Highlight below your brow, but it’s not with a concealer like you think. Yes, you can use concealer to clean up areas, but you should highlight with a shimmery color (think of how you highlight your cheek) directly on the brow bone. Williams’ explained, “This will help create shape and give the illusion of an arched brow.” She used a color from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit ($40.00, Sephora.com).
