Why is defining and sculpting brows important?
You might think that your eyebrow shape cannot be improved once it has been tweezed or threaded by an expert. This is where you and most people are wrong as you can use the right eyebrow powder, pencils, and gels to sculpt and define your brows, and ensure they stand out and not fade into the background.

Invest in the right eyebrow kit
Buying the right eyebrow shapers, tweezers, angled tip brushes, spoolie, and brow scissors are essential. With the right products you can easily trim eyebrows, remove a stray hair within seconds and apply eyebrow powder without making mistakes.

Get the right eyebrow powder color

Experts know that using the wrong color of eyebrow powder is courting a disastrous outcome, and so they use these tips to find the right one.

Finding an eyebrow powder based on skin tone

Dark skin comes in various shades, so an eyebrow powder dark brown or an option that is about 1-2 shades lighter is perfect for such people.

An eyebrow powder medium brown is suitable for those with olive toned skin as it delivers a striking natural finish.

People who have light skin with a pink tone should choose a light brown eyebrow powder, or eyebrow powder putty with an ashy tint.

Finding an eyebrow powder based on hair color

Brown haired people can choose an eyebrow powder that is one or two shades lighter when compared their hair. In case they have reddish highlights in their hair they can use eyebrow powder auburn as it has a red tint.

For those who have black hair, choosing a color that is either 1 or 2 shades lighter and similar to eyebrow powder soft jet black is ideal.

Blondes have hair in various shades so experts suggest that they pick eyebrow powder putty which has an ashy tone or use an eyebrow powder dark blonde.

People who have mature hair that is graying should choose an eyebrow powder moonstone that has a metallic shine or an eyebrow powder soft charcoal which provides a soft natural finish.

Red heads should ideally choose an eyebrow powder in blonde or a color that has a hint of gold in it.

How to define eyebrows and sculpt them with brow powder

Ensure your brows are trimmed
Use tweezers or a precision brow scissors to remove stray hairs, as this will reduce the need for making corrections when adding eyebrow powder.

Brush a spoolie through your brows
Brush a spoolie through your brows and ensure that loose hairs are removed and your eyebrows are flowing upwards.

Find your ideal brow shape
Eyebrows are never perfectly symmetrical so you might find that one is slightly shorter or shaped differently compared to the other. So, you need to measure and find your ideal brow shape using the steps mentioned below. Then you can go ahead and define and sculpt your brows, until they match the latest trend that you love.

Position a long pencil/brush vertically at side of your nostril. At the point where the pencil touches the brow mark it as the start.

Place the pencil at a 45-degree angle with the stem touching the side of your nostril. Then mark the position where the pencil meets our brow as the end of the tail.

While looking in the mirror ensure that the stem is passing through the outer edge of the iris. Where the pencil meets your brow, mark the position as the high point of the arch.

Cover your brows with a primer
Once you know the shape and style that you want for your brows you can proceed to use a primer pencil and coat the area. The coat of primer will ensure that pencil strokes and powder adhere to the skin and hair in the area.

Use a pencil to define your brow
With a sculpting eyebrow pencil draw short fine lines that are similar to hair, and use them to extend the tail and add definition to the arch. The sharp point of the brow pencil will allow you to easily shape areas along our brows and draw hairs to make them appear fuller.

Apply one or two shades of eyebrow powder
Using eyebrow powder and an angled tip brush draw a line at the top and bottom of each brow and then fill the space in between. Powder gives brows a natural finish while a pencil is harsher. While applying powder, you can soften the strokes of the eyebrow pencil. If you use two shades of powder, apply a lighter shade at the edges of your brows and use a darker in the middle. Then brush a spoolie through your brows to spread the powder.

Give your brows a coat of gel
Coating your brows with a clear or tinted eyebrow sculpting gel will ensure that the powder does not flake off. Also, the gel acts as a finisher and will ensure that your brows remain styled and set in place all day. In case you use a tinted fiber brow gel, fibers will adhere to individual hairs. As a result, your brows will instantly volumize and sparse areas will be covered up and appear filled.

Use a highlighter and concealer to sculpt your brows
With the aid of a 2-in-1 brow definer that contains a universal concealer on one end and highlighter on the other you can sculpt your brows and draw attention to them. The concealer end should be used along the arch and the tail to sharpen these areas around your brow and then the lines should be blended. With the concealer you can also cover up dark circles under your eyes. Using the eyebrow highlighter, you can add lines above and below your brows, and these should start from the arch and end at the tail. After blending the lines of the highlighter your brows will look naturally “lifted” and your face will appear younger, while your eyes will look bigger.
