Eyebrow pencils with a smooth, light
texture and soft, dry finish are good for filling
in eyebrows and give them a natural look too, while
defining their shape. Begin application in the center
of the brow and work outward toward the brow tip
then back toward the beginning of the brow.
Use short, light strokes between
the brow hairs, and apply a bit more pressure (for
stronger color) when defining the underside of the
brow. Use a clean toothbrush (or a brow brush, which
is similar but more expensive) to soften the color
and groom the brow. Alternately, you may apply a
bit of hairspray to the toothbrush, and comb this
through the brow for hold and control.
Keep in mind that most brow pencils
deposit stronger color than a powder, so take care
to use a light touch. If you apply too much color,
soften the effect with a Q-Tip that has been dipped
in makeup remover. Do not apply eyebrow pencil too
close to the inner brow (near the nose).
Adding more than a bit of color
here tends to create a too-strong or angry-looking
brow.
A combination approach , using a pencil with powder,
can give you the control and delineation of a pencil,
and the softer, shaded look of a powder.
You can try shaping the brow with the powder first
and then finish the detail work with the pencil
or brow gel. This is especially helpful if you have
bald spots in your eyebrow or need to slightly extend
the end of your brows so they frame your eyes better.
