Tutorial: All about Eyebrows

Hello Friends! I am back again for another tutorial and we will focus on our EYEBROWS. Sometimes, we take for granted this routine in our makeup; either we are in a hurry or perhaps we are clueless how to do it.

Let us keep in mind that eyebrows are only sisters and they are not identical twins. It is most likely that 1 of your brow is much more tamed than the other. Eyebrows create our face frame. If your brows are well groomed it will make a very big difference.

There are different tools where we can transform your brows from owww to wow!  In shaping your brows you have to consider your face shape. Below are the suggested shape of brows as determined by your face shape:

1. Oval shape: slightly arched brows or soft angled shape
2. Heart shape: slightly curved brows. Curves will create a beautiful heart shape using the point of your chin as the heart bottom and the brows as the top of the heart. 
3. Long shape: slightly flat with arched at end of the brows, this will create an illusion of a shorter face.
4. Round shape: high arched brows, this will create an illusion of a longer face.
5. Square shape: Balance this strong feature by a strong brow softwith curves.
6. Diamond shape: strong curves and arched brows will make the widest part of the face less wide. curves will soften the look.

Eyebrow color: 

We should keep in mind the color of our brows should compliment and match our hair. This is a MUST!  If your hair color is:

Blond: use ash blond of light gray pencil or shadow
Light brown: medium to light brown pencil or shadow
Red: ash blond or caramel pencil or shadow
Brunette: mahogany or warm brown pencil or shadow
Black : dark brown or dark gray pencil or shadow

Now let me share with you how I groom and do my brows.
Tools needed:


1. Spoolie or an improvised clean mascara wand
2. Angled eyebrow brush, I got mine from Suesh
3. Flat shadow brush
4. Tweezers
5. Small scissors
6. Brow blade

Make up products needed:
(May depend on your preference)


1. Benefit eyebrow wax
2. NYx jumbo pencil in dark brown (I just deported mine since I do not have a sharpener to fit this size ;) )
3. Faceshop eyebrow pencils in brown
4. Nichido pencil concealer in Beige to clean the edges and highlights too.

Here it goes:
1. Using your spoolie, gently brush your brows to define its natural shape.


2. Noticing I have some long brows, I usually groom it at times. (this step is optional).


3. Using your angled brush, create an illusion or your desired shape. (Consider your face shape on this). I either use an eyebrow wax or my depot-ted NYX Jumbo pencil in Dark Brown. The consistency of both product (wax or cream-based) makes the shaping easier.


4. Outline your brows top portion first then followed by lower portion. Outlined brows should look like this:


5. Fill in your brows. You may use eyebrow pencil or a matte brown eyeshadow.

** This is optional, after filling in your brows, you may go ahead and tint it with Eyebrow tint. A good choice if you are on a budget, try Etude House Color my brows, OR if you have the budget, MAC's girlboy is a good choice too.

6. Blend the shadow or pencil to soften the look.


7. Once blended, outline and clean the harsh edges by applying a pencil concealer or any concealer. This step will highlight the brows and will elaborate the shape.


8. Final step, is to check your brows. Checking your brows need some Geometry.. :) This picture will be very helpful. Using your nose as your focal point.


Sharing some photos of the finished look. :)



I hope you would find these information relevant. :) Thank you Lovelies and have a gorgeous day ahead!
