Why Bother with Eyebrows?
Before we jump into the "how-tos," let's talk about why eyebrows are so important. First, they add symmetry and balance to the face. Second, a well-defined brow can make you look more polished—even when you're only wearing a hint of lipstick.
Choosing the Right Eyebrow Pencil

Your pencil will dull slightly with every use so be sure to also pick up one of these sharpeners to keep your pencil on point!
When to Use:
Use the pencil to fill in sparse areas and define the shape of your brow. Go for a color that's one or two shades lighter than your natural brow color to keep things looking natural and clean.
The Magic of the Eyebrow Brush
The eyebrow brush is like the wand of your brow fairy godmother. The bristled end helps to distribute the product evenly, while the spoolie end blends everything together seamlessly.

When to Use:
After you've applied your pencil, use the bristled end to brush through your brows. This removes any excess product and creates a softer, more natural look. Then, use the spoolie to blend and set everything in place.

Direction Matters: Brush your hairs upwards for a lifted, youthful appearance.
