Welcome back to the Glamrs studio. This video is for all of us that are obsessed with eyebrow
grooming and shaping. Some eyebrow trivia to begin with, our eyebrows frame our eyes,
give shape to the nose and accentuate our features. But in spite of all of this, they
are the most overlooked feature on the face. I'm about to show you how to groom and shape
your eyebrows using powders or pencils, just remember that neither is the better choice,
it just depends on what you're comfortable using.
A little tip for you here, which ever product you use, use a steady hand and feathery strokes.
I'm going to get started by using a powder product to fill my brows. to begin with im
gona use a spooly brush to comb my eyebrows and now when you are detemining where to fill
in your eyebrows, and how to groom and shape them , you need to start with the centre of
your brows combing downwards in the direction of the hair growth, this will help you determine
how much space there is, and how much intensity you need, and how many gaps you need to fill.Take
an eyeshadow powder or a brow powder thats about a deep stoney brown, not a black because
if you use a black powder to fill in your eyebrows it will look really stark, so i would
suggest picking up a colour close to this. Dip you angular brush into the product shake
off any excess and start by imitating strokes of the hair use the brush and the colour really
lightly to fill in. Make sure that you taper off as you reach the ends. Now for the begining
of the brow now you will notice that the hair in this area grows upwards and straight so
brush accordingly in the direction of the growth of the hair. This will help you determine
how many gaps there are in this area, so using the same technique light feathery strokes
Start by filling from underneath. Make sure you dont have too much colour in this area because
then the eyebrow will look unnatural
If like my hair you have curly hair that wont stay in place or you have hair that just
stay in shape that you have determined, use your spooly brush comb it out and using one
of the setting gels that you get in the market just run it over.
Set and complete.
Now on the other brow im gona show you how you can use a pencil to fill in your eyebrows. Start
again with a spooly brush from the centre of your eyebrows comb downwards in the natural
direction of the hair growth, find yourself a pencil thats again not black because that
will look too stark, find a stoney brown. Now with the pencil you must be really careful
you dont want to draw very determined sharp lines use very soft feathery strokes almost
imitating the growth of the hair itself. Make sure you fill softly where you see the need,
increasing the intensity as you go. Make sure you get to the edge of the eyebrow and taper
off, again imitate hair growth because you dont want the line to be very stark and solid.
Now go back to the begining of your brow and brush upwards.
Hold your pencil at a slight slant just as you would a brush and fill in. Make sure there's a saturation of colour underneath
and not so much on the top, when you get the whispy appearence of hair and dont colour
to far out and dont make it too strong here.
Once you think you've achieved the colour
intensity and the length that you want, take your spooly brush again because you want to
even out the strokes, normally pencils make very deliberate strokes some of them you can
see so you want to just blend off to make it more appear smooth and this is something
i would do so i would do on this eyebrow as well. Im using my brow setting gel to keep
my stray hair in place.
So there you see this two different products two different finishes
I normally dont recommend just one product you can mix the two around and maybe some
places fill with powder and places like very close inside here you can use pencil or a
combination of both either way they create beautiful effects for your eyebrows. Another
brow tip here, since we dont really apply foundation underneath our eyebrows we need
to remember there will be an accumulation of excess oils use a dusting powder and lightly
dust across the length of your eyebrows to remove the oil. I hope you enjoyed watching
this video as much as i enjoyed sharing it with you. Happy eyebrows Stay Glamrs.
