Now more often than not, you’ve thought about filling in your eyebrows with an eyeliner right? Especially if you have lighter, thinner brows than the lucky ones!
Here are a few tips to make sure that you get the right colour and consistency so that they look absolutely natural!
1. The colour
For those ladies with blonde or light brown hair, use a eyeliner that is about 3 shades darker than your natural hair colour. Test them out on the back of your hands to have a look.
For ladies with darker hair, use a shade 1-2 tones lighter than your hair colour.
2. Drawing them in
Use a light hand and short light strokes following the natural shape of your brow. Don’t try colouring them in as it looks blocked and unnatural – the total opposite of what you want.
Use a slightly heavier hand at the start of your brows then lighten and fan out using short, swift hand motions.
3. Intensity
Make sure that the intensity and heaviness of your eyebrows does not overpower your other facial features as filling them is used to frame your facial features, not overpower them with dark brows.

I avoid brows – too hard!
The eyebrow kits look promising
When I try using a pencil, it doesn’t look natural. I advise shadow. It gives off a more natural look.:D
Great tips! So helpful!
nice brows
no you don’t, make it one or two shades lighter because black pencil is jet black, darker than most brows, it will overpower your facial features
if you have black eye brows do you not just use black pencil??
nice!
why do chicks love this ernomeous ugly thick eyebrows?
thinner eyebrows suit certain faces but by filling them in they define your features a lot better – we aren’t promoting bushy, wild eyebrows, just ones that aren’t as sparse as usual; that define the eye and cheekbones better
Thanks! I wish I had fuller brows!
Great tips, as someone with very light brows I’m always too scared of making them look obviously drawn on!
I like this kind of eye make up but i have single eyelids and I fail to achieve such results. any tips for that?
Very helpful article. Thanks.
Very helpful! I have very light coloured eyebrows and can never get them looking defined enough

I have been trying to re-grow my eyebrows but it takes so long!
This is really great i personally love a fuller brow not a big fan of the thin brow though it does work really well for some.
Those eyebrows are amazing!
full brows are best
Great tips 🙂
another great brand is prestige – stocked at priceline and is only 19.95 – i cant live without it.
I have really blonde (invisible!) brows and I colour them the same colour as my hair, looks like I have been choosing the wrong shade for my brows.
its quite normal for blondes (natural or dyed) to have darker brows, so always colour them a bit darker (up to 3 shades) than your natural hair colour, it will really make the difference
Great tip, eyebrows really shape the face
I love full brows.
i think brows are really important yet many didnt realise it.

Why do we colour in the brows?
your eyebrows frame your facial features, by filling them in a little bit and defining them, it really makes your eyes and cheekbones more pronounced
Yay, thankyou 🙂
I love this article!! I now want all three brow products pictured there! The little brow kits look especially good. Very cute packaging for the Brows-A-Go-Go! I’m keeping this one on my list.
excellent
I want my brows to look like that

Also you could just get your eyebrows tinted either the DIY way or at a salon. Defined brows definitely bring out peoples eyes.
Interesting.
