Doing and filling in your eyebrows are very simple, and easy. It does require practice but once you get it down then it is so easy and you'll be doing your eyebrows in your sleep.

When filling in your eyebrows you have to remember that your eyebrows are sisters, not twins so they are not going to be the exact same. The first thing everyone needs to remember is that when you are first learning how to do your eyebrows it is best to fill in your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil and not a pomade.

A pomade is way more pigmented, which is not always good when you are first learning. I recommend investing in an e.l.f eyebrow pencil it's only $2 and gets the job done.

Now you are ready to begin the process. The first thing you want to do is brush all your eyebrow hairs, just so you can see everything. Next, you are going to take your eyebrow pencil and you are going to make three dots. One at the beginning on your eyebrow (1), the next one should go in the middle where you would like to see an arch in your eyebrow(2), and the other dot a the bottom or the "tail" of your eyebrow (3).

These dots will help be a guide for you so you know where you would like to place your arch or how far you would like the tail of your eyebrow to go.



Once you have those dots marked of you will then start to shape your eyebrow, your shape is all about what you make it. if you want your eyebrows to look thicker then you are going to shape you arch a little higher, but if you want your eyebrows to look more natural then you are going to do a normal, softer arch.


Once you have the shape of your eyebrows outlined you are then going to start the fill-in of your brows. When you are filling in your eyebrows you want to make hair like strokes. If you are going for the bold look then use a heavy hand for your strokes, but if you are looking for a more natural look then you should use a soft hand.

The strokes should go upwards. Now what some people like to do is comb down their eyebrow hairs so that they are able to see what also needs to be filled in at the top, I don't like doing that because I start to feel like it's a lot of product on my eyebrows which would turn my eyebrows into looking a little less natural in my opinion which I don't really like, I like natural looking eyebrows.

Now that you have everything filled in and outlined you are now going to clean it up with concealer. This step is very important because to me in a way it kind of makes or breaks the way your eyebrows look.

Basically cleaning up your eyebrows means taking your concealer and lightly going over the outline shape of the brows, this is just going to help give your eyebrows a more clean look and finish.

Just lightly follow the outline of your eyebrows that you made with your eyebrow pencil and then blend.

And your done, I know all of these words can be very confusing but once you really practice just watch how fast you get this! Filling in your eyebrows is what helps set a makeup look. And the cool thing about knowing how to do your eyebrows is you don't even have to do a full face of makeup, you could just do your eyebrows and it would look like you took hours on doing your makeup.

Now that you have the basic knowledge you are now ready to go out and slay!
