Wearing very thin eyebrows automatically puts years on top. Hence, the trend among celebrities, instagrammers, it girls –and every daughter of a neighbor– is to wear them thick but well defined . The bad thing is when the term well defined is taken to the extreme or is misinterpreted by making up the eyebrows with a uniform line, excessively wide and too dark. The look that is achieved then is too artificial and forceful. It is about "filling in" them, not painting them. Keep in mind these three simple rules and you will achieve the ideal eyebrows, those well marked, but in a natural and subtle way, rejuvenating your eyes … and your face.
Rule 1: Make up and fill in the eyebrows delicately
Or, what is the same, instead of a very marked line with a pencil of intense color, try to "repopulate" your eyebrows using a shadow and a brush as follows. Instead of saturating the brush a lot and making a single stroke from the beginning to the end of the eyebrow, give small intermittent strokes, insisting a little further where there are gaps.
Another possibility is to make diagonal lines with the eyebrow pencil or along the entire eyebrow and then gently brush with a matte shadow to make it feel more hair and volume, instead of looking painted and "flat" (a very artificial).
- Respect the form . Try not to make lines above or below your eyebrow. If you have gone too far, just run a specific clean brow brush over it. You will easily remove the excess.
- Thick, but polished. Tousled eyebrows also add age and detract from the harmony of the features. To fix them, apply a little clear fixing wax (or hairspray) to a brush and rub it over the eyebrows. They will stay combed all day. Look at how celebrities wear them and the products they use to make them look impeccable.
Rule 2: Choose the color well
Whatever the format (shadow, pencil, or brow mask), the color should be the same as the root of your hair . Notice that we are saying the root of the hair and not the rest of the hair, because most women dye us and in the middle and ends there can be a subtle gradient with lighter tones.

From less to more
Start by applying a little product (shadow or pencil) and review if you want to gain intensity. It is easier to "add" than to remove the excess.
Rule 3: Pluck your eyebrows with surgical precision
The best thing is to put yourself in the hands of specialists to make you a good eyebrow design based on your features and go sporadically to the center to have them reviewed. But if you want to do it at home, keep in mind that in order not to leave you unexpected "bald spots", a good technique is to first select the doubtful hair with the tweezers and remove it to the side to see how it would look if you removed it.
- What if I detect a gray hair? The most advisable thing is that you do not get rid of it and hide it with makeup. If you have several, you can dye them at the hairdresser or at a specialized brow design center. You can also use a semi-permanent dye, which can be easily applied at home (incorporates templates) and lasts 3 days. Think that if you remove the gray hair / s you will weaken the growth of the hair and it is even possible that you will not get another hair in its place. What interests us is to have as much natural "raw material" as possible and hide the shortage with makeup. What's more, the specialists recommend that we let the clamp rest in the toiletry bag for three weeks. Give that half-grown hair a chance to fully develop to "thicken" your eyebrows.
- Lifting effect . You will achieve this by adapting the design of your eyebrows to the shape of your face. When in doubt, a very subtle bow will always help open your gaze. But don't overdo it or you will have an expression of permanent surprise. And, of course, a point of highlighter under the highest point of the brow will add the touch of grace to make your eyes even bigger and rejuvenate your look.
- Without going over . Fearing the "unibrow" effect, many women wax excessively the space between one eyebrow and another. Hold back, because the more distance there is between the birth of one and the other, the bigger the nose and the more separated eyes will be. Even leaving some rebellious hair in this area - let's talk about a couple! - can give an air of rebellion and spontaneity, which will take years away.
