At the risk of sounding repetitive, we’re just going to tell you that we’re obsessed with getting our brow game on point. After all, eyebrows can give your face a drastic makeover. But in the quest to achieve the perfect eyebrows, we often go terribly wrong—something that can lead to a total makeup faux pas. Wondering what these mistakes we’re talking about are? Here’s a list…
 

The wrong brush

The wrong brush

When you load your product on the brush to fill in those brows, it needs to be the right eyebrow brush—a thin, angled brush that’ll help with the right strokes. You might think that you’ll make do with a flat or thick-ish brush but this will only make your eyebrow uneven.

If your brows aren’t blended once you’ve filled them in, they might end up looking too harsh. Quite naturally, you don’t want people walking up to you and asking you if you’ve filled them in. Once you’re done filling them, use a spoolie that helps your eyebrows blend.

Brows before base

Brows before base

You need to ensure that you first do your base makeup—moisturise, prime, conceal, use your foundation and set it with compact powder. Only then will you be able to know how dark you need your brows to be depending on how your complexion finally looks.

Remember that the arch is the part that needs most definition while filling in. So intensify the product at the highest point of your brow.
