How to Draw On Eyebrow
It’s not just a trend – eyebrow art can be an amazing way to express yourself and make your look uniquely yours. But if you’re not an artist by trade taking that first step to finding the perfect eyebrow look can feel intimidating. Fear not! Drawing on your eyebrows doesn’t need to be scary or overwhelming. Here, learn the steps you need to take to get those jaw-dropping arches that have everyone turning heads.
Step One: Choose Your Tools
Before you can start drawing those beautiful brows, you need to make sure you have the right supplies. Picks your pencil, pomade, or powder based on the look you’re going for – pencils for a softer finish, pomades for greater precision, and powders for a bolder look. Unless you’re going for a sharp, angled brow (which requires a brush) use your finger or a spool to blend hairs and soften color.
Step Two: Map It Out
Next, create a map of your brows so you know just where to add color. Use a white brow pencil to define the beginning, endpoints, and arch of your brows. If your eyebrows are sparse – incorporate hairs outside of your current brow lines to make them look fuller.
Step Three: Add Shape
Now that you have a map, it’s time to start adding color. First, use the pencil, pomade, or powder to start defining the shape from the inner to outer corner. Then, use a spool or your finger to blend, soften, and spread the color.
Step Four: Color Your Brows
Give your brows some depth by using a darker color in the inner and outer corners, and then fading the color into your natural brow color for the middle. Use a lighter color to draw in new hairs. If you’re using powder, use an angular brush to highlight the lines on and around your brows, creating a soft, defined look.
Step Five: Set It
When your brows are completely shaded and highlighted to perfection, set your masterpiece with a clear brow gel. Not only will this gel keep your brows looking fabulous, but it will also help keep the color in place all day long.
Creating an Eye-Catching Look
If you want to level up your brow look, there are lots of ways to get creative with your eyebrow drawing skills. Use a concealer or eyeshadow to fill in any sparse hairs, making even your thinnest brows look full and beautiful. For a bit of extra glam, try adding glitter to the bridge of your nose or your inner corners for a little something extra.
More Than Just Coloring Outside the Lines
Creating a look that is truly unique takes some practice, but with some basic instructions, tips, and tricks, you’ll have that perfect eyebrow look in no time. Beyond choosing the right products and tools, pay attention to the size and shape of your face and your eye shape for the best application.
Conceal, Reveal And Be Bold
Any brow routine should start with concealing and contouring. As you draw on your brows, use concealer to even out your skin tone to the area, and a highlighter to draw attention to the arch of your eyebrow. Fill in your brows with a few layers to create a bolder, wider look.
Shading, Blending And Playing With Color
When you’re ready for a more precise look, choose an angled brush and short strokes to draw individual hairs. And if you want to stand out, add a little something extra. Using a light brown or grey color, add subtle gradation to your brows, making them look even more natural. For a bit of extra drama, use a dark color to deepen the arch or use multiple shades of browns to create a shapely look.
The Inner Designer
Just like any other form of art, the possibilities with eyebrow art are endless. Trying out techniques like ombre and highlighting can help you achieve the perfect look. Get creative! With enough practice and patience, you can come up with something totally unique and killer.
