Perfect Brows in 3 Easy Steps
Step 1 – Line with Highlighter
Create the perfect bottom line as a guide for your brows. Use the Camo highlighter pencil to get it as close to your brow without actually touching the hair. Make sure that the line is thin and make it as close to your brow as possible. Then, using the Highlighter Smudge brush, lightly blend the thin line of highlighter under the brow line. With the remaining, unblended highlighter blend down towards your eyelid crease until the area is evenly blended.
Pro Tip: The key to highlighting is to use the brush to create a crisp line that accents your arch and can be used as a guide for filling in the rest of your brow shape.
Step 2 – Fill with Brow Powder
Using the Angle Spooly Brush, choose the shade from the Brow Powder Duo that best matches your natural brow color. Start by underlining the bottom of your brow line to get a crisp, even color that goes all the way across your brow bone. Then, blend the powder up into the brow for a naturally filled look that evenly covers your brow shape.
Once blended, you should start seeing a fuller brow. For a more natural look, lightly blend brow powder into sparse areas to fill out your desired brow shape.
Pro Tip: When lining your brow, extend the bottom of your brow line to create a long, arching tail.
Step 3 – Finish with Brow Gel
Just like setting spray helps your makeup last longer, brow gel keeps all your brow hair in place. Using the tinted brow gel, you can add some additional color to your brow while also shaping the hairs into place. To apply, use the brush to wisp your front hairs up for a long, bushy brow look or comb to the side for a sleeker shape.
Once your shape is established, use the tip of the brush to add extra definition. I usually use the tip to create a longer tail and to add some depth to the front of the brow with wispy strokes. Lastly, I take the Spooly side of the Angle Spooly Brush to blend the color and create a crisp brow shape that is evenly colored.
Pro Tip: If your brows are naturally full, you can skip step two and use tinted brow gel to fill out any lighter areas while also solidifying your shape.
