How to: perfectly styled eyebrows in 5 steps

‘Eyes are the windows to the soul’, they say. So, we’d better make sure that those ‘windows’ look in tiptop shape - and eyebrows play a huge role. In this blog, we’ll tell you how to perfectly style your eyebrows. Quickly read on to discover our 5-step plan.
Perfectly shaping your eyebrows - there’s a lot of mistakes to be made that can make your eyebrows look off; think too thin or the wrong shape. So, for once and for all: the basics when it comes to enhancing the natural shape of your brows.

1. Shaping your eyebrows
If you really want a fresh start, then it’s advisable to leave your brows alone for three whole months. Difficult - we know! But letting your brows regain their natural shape is the perfect way to start off.

Step 1: pluck away stray hairs surrounding your brows - your natural shape will become more evident. Mainly focus on the area beneath the brows. >> Tip: pluck your eyebrows after a warm shower - the heat softens your hair follicles which will make hairs come loose much easier.

Step 2: determine where your eyebrows should start and end - use the image below for assistance.

Tip 1: pluck sparingly. It’s better to pluck away the absolute minimum, wait a few days to see if you like the shape and if desired, pluck away some more later on. 
Tip 2: stick to the natural shape of your eyebrows; mother nature is pretty good in matching the right shape of brows to the shape of your face and eyes - try not to steer away too much.

2. Coloring your eyebrows
When you’re completely satisfied with your shape, it’s time for the next step: coloring. The trick is not to go over the top because you don’t want your brows to overshadow the rest of your face. Coloring should be about emphasizing the natural shape for a more powerful look.

Step 1: draw a clear outer line with an eyebrow pencil to create a more powerful shape. Don’t go overboard, take the subtle road.

Step 2: when you’re content with the outer lines you’ve drawn, it’s time to start coloring. Use eyebrow powder for the most natural effect. After coloring, evenly divide the color by brushing through your brows with a spoolie. >> Tip 1: dark hair? Choose a shade lighter than your haircolor. Light hair? Go a shade darker.

3. Highlighting your eyebrows
Step 1: to accentuate your eyebrows, use concealer to hide imperfection on surrounding skin. Use your usual concealer and a narrow, flat brush to perfectly follow the contours of your brows.

Step 2: apply a small amount of highlighter right underneath your brows for a lifting effect - this will also add some pop to your eyebrows.
4. Fixating your eyebrows
Are your eyebrows styled to perfection? Then make it last by fixating them. You can either use eyebrow gel or simply spray a small amount of hairspray on a soft hand-held toothbrush and evenly divide by brushing over your brows lightly.
Or opt for a 2-in-1 product with pencil and gel. 
5. Emphasizing your eyebrows
Seeking for ways to accentuate brows even more? Then apply nude eye makeup. The more neutral your eyes look, the more attention will go to your brows. Go to our eye makeup shop to shop your favorite products for nude looking eyes.
