How To Fill In Your Brows Using A Brow Mascara

Hi dolls,

I'd like to share with you my techniques in filling my brows using a brow mascara. There are a tons of brow mascaras in the market, some great examples are Benefit's Gimme Brows, Nyx Tinted Brow Mascara, and Nature Republic Botanical Eyebrow Mascara (korean brand). My favorite among the bunch I have is the Nature Republic one. It doesn't dry out so fast and the shade matches my hair and skin tone perfectly.

Although the main concept in this post is using "brow mascara", I do like to tell you that I use other products/tools in conjunction with my brow mascara; just so I can get my desirable eyebrow look. The other things I use beside my brow mascara are eyebrow powder (brow shade matte shadow), spoolie brush, brow pencil, and concealer. 

Here is a step-by-step video tutorial on how I achieve well-groomed, defined brows. You may also read the steps below.

Steps:

1. Brow Mascara: Natural looking brows have subtle gradient effect, which means the inner ends (the ones near your nose) are slightly lighter and gets darker towards the outer end/the tail. That is why, I suggest you  start applying from the outer half of your brows and then take any excess product to the inner section. 
2. Brow Powder: You may also use a matte light brown eyeshadow. After applying your brow mascara you might feel as though it is sticky and leaves a shiny finish on your brows. Applying a brow powder on top of it using a brow brush will not only set the brow mascara, but also gets rid of the shiny effect and holds your brows in place throughout the day.
3. Spoolie Brush: Gently comb/brush your brows outward to make sure you have spread out all the products evenly and set all brow hair in the same direction. 
4. Eyebrow Pencil: I don't use eyebrow pencil to fill my whole brows. I use it to add sharpness or definition on the tail of my brows. Tip: As you can see on the video above. I used my brow pencil to find the end of my brows. Simply align the end of your brow pencil to the end of your nose and the end of your eyes. This will ensure you are not overdrawing your brows. 
   
5. Concealer: This is the star of the show. Even if I skip steps 2,3, and 4, I always make sure I do this last step. Apply a concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin to your brow bone area. It will help clean up the mess or any hair growth and highlight your brow bone. This step makes difference!

I hope you find my tips helpful.
