Eyebrow Makeup: 5 Must-Have Tools
Whether you have thick or sparse eyebrows, bushy or overly plucked, light or dark, you need certain products to get those perfectly arched brows. These are some of the must-have tools in your makeup kit to help you in your eyebrow makeup any time you wish to do them.
1. Tweezers
A pair of good tweezers is one of the essential tools to have for eyebrow makeup. The very first thing that you need to start when it comes to makeup is perfectly shaped and clean eyebrows. If you do not have time to visit the salon and get your eyebrows in proper shape, a pair of tweezers can do it for you. The ideal shape of your eyebrows is when its head is lined up with the outer edge of your nostrils and tail is lined up diagonally with that nostril. To get this perfect shape, you can pluck the extra hair by using a pair of tweezers. For a precise pluck, go for a pointed tip tweezer and for grabbing multiple hair at once you can choose the flat tip tweezer.
2. Brow pencil
By applying a brow pencil on your sparse eyebrows, you can make them look perfect and dark. It can do wonders for your eyebrow makeup. It can be confusing to choose the right colored eyebrow pencil. To stay safe, choose a color that is two shades lighter than the color of your hair. Pencils are only meant for filling in those gaps or bare spots in your eyebrows. Do not overdo your makeup by drawing lines, just apply it on the hair of your eyebrows.
3. Brow brush
Your eyebrow makeup is incomplete without a brow brush. After you fill in your brows with the eyebrow pencil, an eyebrow brush helps you to get the proper shape of your brows.
4. Brow gel
A brow gel helps in taming those unruly brows in place. There are transparent eyebrow gels available that serve as a comb to separate the hair of your eyebrows and keep them laying flat and well in place. There are many good pocket-friendly brow gels available in the market, just choose the one that you think will go according to your style of makeup.
5. Highlighter
A highlighter pencil highlights your makeup and gives it a finished look. It brightens your face and keeps it looking fresh. Swipe a subtle amount of the highlighter pencil under your eyebrows to open up those gorgeous eyes and to brighten up your face. It emphasizes the arch of your eyebrows and lifts your eyes thereby enhancing the way your eyebrows look. You can also use a concealer to even out the portion under your eyebrows or to fix errors. However, using a concealer is not always necessary but it can enhance the color and shape of your eyebrows.
These are some of the essential things that you need for doing eyebrow makeup.
