Eyebrows Filling - How to Fill in Your Eyebrows

Useful Tips on Eyebrow Filling

• Select a brow filler that's a shade or two lighter than your hair.
• start with freshly plucked or waxed brows.
• A thicker brow with a sharp eyebrow pencil using light, feathery strokes, adding color to thinner areas.
• Define thin brows with a brow powder. Use a flat angled brow brush and color over the natural shape of the brow. Apply to the outer edges first, then move to the area closer to the nose.
• Groom your brows with a clean mascara brush or similar tool. Move loose hairs into place and blend color for a more natural appearance.
• Brush the brow up with a toothbrush.
• Use a brow powder with a waxy base to keep hairs in place throughout the course of the day. Or use a very small amount of brow gel or alcohol-free hair gel on the brush when grooming your brows.
• Whether you are using a pencil or powder, follow the basic shape of the existing brow, using the tweezing guidelines above.
• Apply the color by filling in the shape of the brow between the hairs where needed.
• As much as possible, work only with the hair that is there. The idea is to shade rather than draw on eyebrows.
• Fill in only at the front or underneath the brow, or through the brow itself.
• Do not place your brow color, whether it is pencil or powder, more than one-quarter inch away from where the natural hair growth stops. This would accentuate the fact that there is no brow there in the first place!
