Before

1. Set your brows

First, set your brows with a setting powder. Blend the powder into the brow until it disappears.

2. Brush your brows

Next, use a brow brush (spoolie) to brush your brows upward.

3. Draw the brow outline

Consider the 3 points of your eyebrows.

Where to draw

I like to use a wooden pencil because you can sharpen it for an exacting tip. Be sure to sharpen it as it gets dull. 

Drawing on brows

Start drawing the lower outline.

Then draw the upper outline from the arch to join the lower outline.

Extend the outline toward the upper line of the beginning of the brow, parallel to the lower starting point.

Repeat on the other brow using the same outline guide points.

4. Apply tinted brow gel

Choose a brow gel to match your eyebrow color.

Brush the brow gel upward to mimic the growth of the hair.

Repeat on the other side.

Once the brow gel is dry, use your dry brow brush again to brush the hair upward.

5. Draw in the eyebrow strokes

Use your sharp brow pencil to draw in upward strokes from the beginning brow point. 

Drawing eyebrow strokes

Follow the curve of the brow as you make more strokes. You may need to resharpen the pencil to maintain sharp strokes.

No need for perfect strokes here because natural brows are imperfect.

Make strokes on the other side as well.

6. Highlight your brow

Transfer concealer from the back of your hand onto a flat brush, making sure to cover both sides evenly.

Then apply some concealer in a line, starting from beneath the lower brow line.

Gradually bring down the concealer to allow for easier blending later.

Next, apply a darker concealer shade under the front of your eyebrow, slightly overlapping with the light concealer shade.


Bring the darker shade downward as well.

Touch up the light shade by bringing it to the end of the brow.

7. Blend

Once the concealer is slightly dry, begin blending it in with a clean brush.

8. Highlight and blend under your other brow

Highlight with both shades under your other brow and blend.

9. Detail with the dark concealer 

Under the beginning and end points of the brows, blend in some of the darker concealer.

10. Upper brow highlighting

Position your hand like I am and drag your lighter concealer from the middle toward the arch. 

Adding darker concealer

When you get to the arch, adjust your hand position and continue to apply the concealer downward to follow the outline.

Adding darker concealer

Join the concealer at the tail.

Then blend it out gradually to the bottom of your forehead.

Then address your other brow in the same way.

11. Finishing touches

At the end, raise your eyebrows and see if they look even. If not, make any corrections that you see fit.

    WOW! I ran to the store with my list. Came home very excited, followed step by step and it was as easy as you made it look! Explanation was excellent! Thank you very much!

    Your instructions are so wonderfully detailed. My eyebrows are very sparse and I'm leary of making them look super fake when I fill them in. Using your directions for natural looking brows, I'm confident I can bring attention to my eye area for the right reasons. Thank you!
