Brow Routine: My Idea Of Perfect Brows

I've realized that doing your brows isn't as easy as it seems! It's way trickier than people think. But with practice and a bit of patience, you can totally nail those 'perfect brows'. Seriously, it's just a few simple steps.

People are always asking me about my brows, how I do them, and giving me compliments. Honestly, I don't have many brow hairs, so I used to feel super insecure when I didn't have them done. But then I discovered makeup and realized it's my saving grace.

I watched tons of tutorials to learn how to do them and just practiced like crazy. So, I figured I'd share my step-by-step routine with you all and maybe throw in some tips and tricks. Here we go!

Step 1: Brush them up 

First things first, I will brush the eyebrow hairs in an upward motion with a spoolie brush. I usually do this step to see where they need filling in and from there I will notice where I have to trim and pluck. And this brings me to my second step.

Step 2: Pluck the stray hairs (optional)

After that, I move on to plucking any stray hairs. I don't go too crazy with the tweezers, just enough to keep things neat. Trust me, it's not as painful as it sounds once you get used to it.

Step 3: Shading them

I start from the middle of my brow with a slim liner pencil, like my Silkygirl Expert Brow Slim Liner. Then, I fill them in with short strokes for a natural look.

Step 4: Powder them up 

Powdering comes next, using my trusty Maybelline Fashion Brow 3D Brow and Nose Palette. I use a small angled brush to lightly define my brows, being careful not to go overboard.

Step 5: Brush and conceal

Once that's done, I brush through my brows again to blend everything together. If I'm feeling fancy, I'll clean up the edges with some concealer. But honestly, it's optional and I often skip it if I'm short on time.

Step 6: Set the brows 

Finally, I set everything in place with some brow gel. Benefit Gimme Brow is my go-to for this step. It helps keep my brows in place all day long, even through the craziest of days.

And that's it! You really don't need fancy products or complicated techniques to get good brows. Just a few basic steps and you're good to go. Hope this helps!
