Go to any makeup section or counter and there are tons of products for your choosing. Foundations? Check! Blush? Sure! Eye shadow? Of course! But one essential facial area is often forgotten all together. If this area is not forgotten, there only seems to be a few items at best that are available. But this facial area is essential in the beauty world. What facial area you ask? The eye brows of course!
Eye brows are an essential area in the beauty world because they help to frame the eyes and give the face character. The “in” chore in the beauty world is to have one’s eye brows waxed or threaded. Some of us even sit in front of a mirror and pluck our own eye brows. A few brave souls will use an eye brow shaver from the nearest beauty supply store and shave their own eye brows.
Once your eye brows are perfectly shaped, now what? Most people where not born with thick lush perfectly shaped eye brows after grooming, so help is needed to make them the perfect frame for that gorgeous new eye shadow color you are excited to try. After you use an eye brow brush to brush your eye brows in the direction you would like for them to be, there are 3 products that come to mind to help you polish off your look.
The first is an eye brow pencil. This is probably the most popular tool that women use to fill in imperfections in their brows. They are sold at most drug stores and beauty supply stores as well as department store beauty counters. When applying an eye brow pencil to your brows, be sure to use a light hand and apply the pencil in short precise strokes. It is very easy to apply the color too heavily which will in turn give your brows a heavy, weighted down look instead of the light even look you are trying to achieve. A tip if you don’t find just the right brow color you’re looking for or if the store does not have eye brow pencils, you can substitute lip pencils or eye liner pencils in the same shade. You will still be able to achieve the desired look.
If you find that eye brow pencils give your brows too harsh of a look, another product is the eye brow powder. Using an eye shadow brush and eye shadow powder to fill in the areas in your eye brows where hair is sparse. If you would like to shape your eye brows in a different shape then your eye brows grow naturally, this is a good product to use to experiment. Be sure to tap the brush on the side of the powder’s container edge so that the right amount of powder is on the brush.
Maybe you are one of the lucky few who after your eye brows have been groomed, are the exact shape and consistency that you would like them to be, the only product you may need is eye brow gel. This is a clear gel that is brushed onto eye brows to help set them the way you want them to be. Eye brow gel is a little harder to find than the other two products mentioned, but some drug stores and beauty supply stores do carry it. Can’t find any clear eye brow gel? Clear mascara works just as well.
One thing to remember when picking a color to compliment your eye brows, remember to pick a color a few shades lighter than your natural hair color or eye brow color if you are in the red, brown, black hair color family. This will help to soften your face. Only if you are in the blonde to light brown hair color family should you look for an eye brow color that’s a few shades darker. Never should you use black on your eye brows. It is too harsh of a color.
Some ladies forget about their eye brows during their daily beauty regimen, but just a few seconds of attention to the brows can help anyone achieve that put together look.
