It’s no secret that eyebrows have the power to completely change your look. It’s also no secret that there are a multitude of ways to fill in your brows.

How do you determine which brow trend is best for you? May I suggest that the natural and effortless feather brow might be the most timeless and easiest to achieve.

First, you’ll want to clean up any stray hairs with tweezers. Be sure not to over do it.

Next, you’ll want to brush them upward with a clear brow setting gel. Here I’m testing out Milk Makeup Kush Clear Lamination Gel. This clear brow gel lifts, shapes and sets the brow hairs and offers an eight-hour laminated look.

To fill in and define the brows, you’ll need to use a brow pencil. Sephora Collection Waterproof Retractable Eyebrow Pencil is a great economical option. I’m using the Neutral Gray Brown shade and like to start at the base of the eyebrows to lightly draw a guideline. I then use small, hairlike strokes to fill in the sparse area. Be sure not to square off the inner corners of the brows or overextend the tail end of the brow.

Tip: Select a colour that is a shade lighter than your natural colour if you have dark brows. If your brows are lighter, opt for a colour that is a half shade darker for depth.

To complete my look, I dabbed on the Merit Flush Balm Cheek Color to my cheeks and lips or a touch of colour.
