Even
if your goal is to add some volume to skimpy brows, you want to make
sure you start with a nice shape and preferably with two brows that
are shaped the same. Symmetry is key when it comes to
brow-shaping. You can clean up your brows at home using tweezers.
This will give you a nice shape to follow. If your natural shape
doesn’t give you enough to work with, you can also purchase brow
stencils that will help you achieve near perfect symmetry when it’s
time to fill them in with make-up.
- Firstly to begin, use a pencil to mark out where you want the brows to be. Hold this in these places shows in the image to mark out where the main points of the brow should be.
- Apply a light concealer directly above and below the eyebrows. Using something a couple shades lighter than natural skin tone to create a nice highlight and makes brows look extra polished.
- Then use either a brow pencil or a thin angled brush and eyebrow/eye-shadow make-up to fill in the gaps of the eyebrows. Using a slightly darker colour will make the brows more dramatic and lighter shades will look more natural for daytime brows.
- Once brows are filled in dust translucent finishing powder over the top to blend and set the concealer and to make the eyebrow hairs look more natural.

This was a dramatic brow that Mirijana created on me as a demonstration to my practical seminar. She has created a sharp edge to the bottom line of the brow which really gives it the face that exaggerated look.
