"Hi! I'm Amelia and on behalf of Expert Village we'll be talking about the perfect eyebrow. A lot of women don't really fill in their brows and they should. It really does make a finished look. Trying filling one and not the other. You'll be amazed at just how much more the brow stands out on your face. Again, that just makes you look a lot more finished. Brunettes of course have an easier choice when it comes to choosing eyebrow color or eyebrow makeup. They would go with brown. However, this particular brand I like because it's only one color. It's sort of a taupe color. This really works with just about everybody. I would just take a little bit on my brush. I always start at the arch and bring it down. Now, just because I'm filling in her brow, doesn't mean I have to fill in the whole thing. You can just work on spots that are sparse. She's got a little sparse spot here. Everybody tends to be a little sparse right there. A lot of these makeup’s also have a wax or a gel that comes with it. That's good for controlling the brows. On guys that don't like to cooperate, you just put a little bit of that on the brush as well. Then just apply that. That'll keep everything into place, and it also sets the color. A lot of different companies have colors specifically for every different color. I know one company that has gray, taupe, auburn, and that's great. Especially for women who have gray hair, they don't necessarily want to use a black or a brown on their eyebrows. They can use a gray and that would fill in. If you've got some grays in your eyebrows and they're predominantly dark, then you're going to want to choose the color that you have the most of in your eyebrow. Let's say that Lauren here wanted to give the feeling that her eyebrows were more on the auburn side. Then she could choose an auburn based color and apply that. It would give the illusion that her eyebrows were actually auburn and not the medium brown that they are. I highly recommend everyone filling in your brows because everyone's got sparse spots, or for those days that you over tweeze and get a little excited and over pluck. It's a great way to just fill in those mistakes and add a finished look to your brow."
