Pluck any stray hairs between the pencil and the bridge of your nose. To pin-point
where your brows should end, hold the pencil at the same place against your nose
and angle it to the outer core of your eye; the spot where the pencil hits is a good
stopping point.
To get the right arch angle pencil to the outer side of the pupil. The spot where the
pencil hits the brow is where the top of the arch should be. Repeat on the other
side. Mark both sides with a colored eyeliner to make sure they're symmetrical
before you start plucking away.
Painless Plucking? If you soak your brow region under a warm, wet cloth, your
pores will open up and loosen their tight grip. Using tweezers, pluck stray hairs
with swift, sharp movements in the direction they grow.
Select shade of eyebrow pencil to match natural color of hair or for a more natural
look use eyeshadow in a shade close to natural color of hair and very lightly apply
with a fine brush.
For great eyebrows, put some lotion on your wrist and while you are coloring in
your brows, dip the pencil in the lotion to make brows look more defined.
Now use your Brow & Eye Pencils in light, feathery strokes to fill in gaps. Start at
brow's inner corner and taper out. Extend slightly at the outer corner and
accentuate the natural arch.
Squirt a tiny bit of hairspray on the tip of your finger and then smooth over your
brows for long-term hold.
How Brows Affect Your Eyes
Deep-Set Eyes: Use a pencil two shades lighter than your hair. Line top and bottom
lash line with a pencil in a matching shade. Enlarge the space between the eyes and
brows-raise the brows slightly by penciling in a little above the bone.
Round Eyes: Fill in brows with a shade that matches your hair. Line top lash line
with a pencil in a darker, smokier shade.
Small Eyes: The softer the brow, the bigger eyes will appear. Pair a soft shade to
brows and lash lines. Smudge a deeper shadow along top lash line and finish with
mascara in Black Brown.
Close set eyes: widen the space between the brows a little by plucking, and extend
the pencil line at the ends.
Wide set eyes: pencil eyebrows a little closer to the nose, and do not extend them
out at the ends.
Bulging eyes: tweeze out any hairs that grow down too far over your eyes and raise
the brows slightly from below. |
