Eyebrow Pencil

Eyebrow pencils can help you fill in your eyebrows for perfectly colored, perfectly shaped brows that frame your face. Eyebrow pencils are great for filling in gaps in your natural eyebrows, defining your natural brows, and even slightly altering the shape to flatter your face. When buying an eyebrow pencil, you’ll want to select the proper shade. If you have fair brows, choose a brow pencil that is about two shades darker than the shade of your hair. If you have dark hair, you’ll want to choose an eyebrow pencil that is approximately two shades lighter than your hair.

To fill in your eyebrows with a pencil, first start by defining your brows. Hold your skin at the temple and use your eyebrow pencil to draw a soft line along the upper edge of your brow. Then do the same thing along the bottom edge. Next, use your brow pencil to draw light, feathery strokes in between the two lines you just created. Beauties who already have thick brows can skip the all over strokes and simply use the eyebrow pencil to fill in any gaps for a more even appearance. Want to change the shape of your brows? While it is best to always follow the natural line of your brows, you can experiment with exaggerating the arch or elongating the ends to get the perfect look.

Once you are happy with the shape, all you need to do is finish off your work! To create a more natural-looking finish, reach for an eyebrow brush, often called a spoolie brush. Many eyebrow pencils have a spoolie brush attached, but you can also purchase one separately if needed. Gently brush over your filled-in brows using short strokes. Start at the inner corners and brush up and out to soften and blend the color. This technique helps to create more natural-looking brows that don’t look overtly drawn-on, so your own beauty can shine.
