This post is purely about how I fill in my eyebrows, and not how I shape them. I normally just shape them myself with tweezers trying to stick to the golden ratio rule. Anyway, moving to how I fill them in.
First, lets look at the obligatory before and after image shall we?
How horrific are my natural brows, right? I have patchy brows which means using just a powder will not give me a precise line, so I draw my desired shape then go over it with powder eyeshadow to make it look natural.
How I fill in my brows
That's it! As an optional step you can apply clear brow gel to seal the look in place and reduce the brow makeup from rubbing off. I don't generally apply brow gel unless it's a very hot day and I don't want to sweat off my brows!
The finished look
Products used
- Rimmel eyebrow pencil in Black/Brown - I have been using this for years and I hope they don't discontinue it. I love it because it's not too creamy. The slightly dry texture makes it easy to draw a precise line and the handy brush on the lid is actually quite useful to comb unruly lashes back into place.
- Matte brown eyeshadow - I mainly use Inglot eyeshadow in #363 but any matte cool brown shadow will do as long as it's good quality and doesn't have fallout.
- Small brush - There are some good eyebrow brushes out there, but the one I use is actually a lip brush. It's got stiff bristles and the shape makes it easy for me to draw on my brows.
I hope you found this mini tutorial useful, and once again if there's a tutorial you'd like me to do just let me know!
Wow loved the difference. Thanx for the tutorial :)

ReplyDeleteYou sure do make them good:) and your not even using the angled eye brow brush. Thanks for sharing. xx
ReplyDeleteI can't really work with the angled eye brow brush, the straight brush works better for me :)

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lauren xo
DeleteGreat tutorial your brows look great!
ReplyDeleteYour brows look gorgeous Lilit! Never tried a brow gel before but am interested in getting one. I do find that my eye brow powder fades off through the day.
ReplyDeleteI also use a pencil and powder because I like it more and it sets better! Great after pictures (:

I know right? Brows make such a big difference to a look. If only my natural brows would get thicker so I didnt have to fake it!
DeleteGreat tutorial! It really frames your face perfectly when you fill them in!
ReplyDeleteEyebrows are so important, I just wish mine were better naturally. But oh well, I'll just fake it :)
Deletei like this =)
ReplyDeleteWell explained! Like the idea of framing the brows with a pen first. Will try it out for sure. Thanks!

Thank you, the pencil makes it much easier to fill in later.
DeleteI never would've thought that your natural brows were like that because your brows always look so good! Thanks for the tips, I'm going to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteYep I've got pretty bad brows so I fake it! LOL
DeleteLilit, I'd never ever in my life thought that THOSE eyebrows are not just your eyebrows. Hmmm... What I'm trying to say is that I saw you so many times and didn't even noticed the makeup. It's a compliment to your skills and.. eyebrows!
ReplyDeleteThanks babe, over the years I've jut become good at faking it! My natural brows were always sparse, so I had to learn to camouflage the patchiness!
