Over-plucked? If so, you can conceal those skimpy brows with some simple makeup tricks.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Eyebrow shadow
  • Eyebrow pencil
  • Brow gel
  • Brow brush
  • Angled eyeshadow brush
  • Hairspray
Step1
Make sure you have plucked the strays around your eyebrows. While you don't want to over-pluck even more, strays outside the brow-line give an unpolished look.
Step2
Brush your brows into the shape you desire, using a brow brush. This shape should form a clean, tapered line if properly styled.
Step3
Fill in large, blank spots with an eyebrow pencil. To do this, use light, gentle stokes. Do not attempt to make eyebrows longer using the pencil or it will look unnatural. You may, however, apply light strokes of pencil around the brow to create thickness, but no more than a fine line or your brows will look painted on.
Step4
Apply a brow shadow throughout the eyebrow to make brows appear thoroughly filled in. Apply using a fine, angled eyeshadow brush.
Step5
Brush again lightly to remove excess powder and shadow.
Step6
Set your brows using a brow gel. Lightly brush through brows so as not to remove the makeup. If you do not have a brow gel, you can spray hairspray onto a brow brush.

Tips & Warnings

  • Your brows are not usually the same color as your hair. Your brow pencil and shadow should match your brows.
  • Do not substitute eyeshadow for brow shadow. Eyeshadow is more highly pigmented and will look unnatural.
