Eyebrow Shaping and Shading 101

What a 

Difference a Brow Makes

Brows are such an important part of your face, something ladies who shave their eyebrows off soon realise. They frame your face and are an important part of its symmetry. After plucking and general shaping I would recommend any girlie whether dark or light eyebrowed to invest in an eyebrow pencil. My brows are particularily dark but as you can see from the before and after shots above a little drawing make a whole lot of difference!

Step 1. Grab a makeup brush and hold it up to the side of your nose. Where is touches the inner corner of your brow shows you where to start shading in.

Step 2. Next angle the brush along to the middle of your eye whilst keeping its end close to your nose. The brush should be covering your iris right in the very centre of your eye. The arch of your brow is the point at which the brush hits your eyebrow.

Step 3. Now angle the brush further along to the outer corner of your eye. The shows the point where your eyebrow should end.

Step 4. Use these guidelines to draw in your eye brows on each side. Many articles I've read instruct that you mimic hairs by drawing on 'light feathery strokes' but I prefer to gently tone the area, building up colour by lightly shading in from the very central line of the brow first. Whatever works best for you.
