Eyebrow makeup: what products to use?
If you are just starting out, or want to get a rather light result, the easiest tool to use is undoubtedly the eyebrow pencil. Very handy, it allows you to control your route, can be easily removed in the event of a misfire and the intensity of the product is easily adjustable.
Want a more intense result? Use an eyebrow shadow or pomade, to be applied with a fine angled brush. In recent years, the ranges of eyebrow products have developed enormously and it is very easy to find what you are looking for on the market.
For a more discreet effect, a simple stroke of colored mascara on well-plucked eyebrows will do the trick perfectly. This can also be used as a fixer or to bring even more intensity to eyebrows previously worked with a pencil or pomade.
No matter which method you choose, it is always important to fix your eyebrows well with a transparent fixing gel that gives your makeup a long hold. This will allow them to be disciplined while fixing them and giving them that glowing look that we love, of course! To perfect the look, do not hesitate to add a touch of light under the arch of the eyebrow with a beige blush or a touch of highlighter.
What shape of eyebrows for my face?
There are several different eyebrow shapes, but to obtain a perfectly harmonious result, the eyebrow line must adapt to the shape of the face. Depending on the size of the forehead, the eyes or even the nose, the head, the thickness or the tail of the eyebrow can vary in a more arched or rounded version. As a general rule, if one wishes to lengthen the face, one opts for well arched eyebrows. Otherwise, a straighter shape is chosen.

How to draw your eyebrows well: the step-by-step method
- Start by tweezing your eyebrows to remove unwanted hair, then brush them with an eyebrow brush. If we tend to perform this gesture upwards usually, the good method is in fact to brush them downwards in order to be able to redefine the contours of the eyebrows.
- Draw the contours with a pencil or a thin brush if you are using eyebrow pomade, holding it well vertically.
- Then restyle the eyebrows upwards, then fill in the interior with light pencil or brush strokes horizontally.
- To illuminate and intensify the look, add beige eyeshadow to the brow bone. A small light touch in the inner corner and you're done!
- Set everything with a transparent or colored mascara if you are looking for more intensity.
This new look can then be slightly (or more frankly) highlighted. A pretty blush or a few glitter on the mobile eyelid, a little mascara to put on the eyelashes or a line of liner and your look will be enhanced. Makeup is something for everyone, so have fun and enjoy your new seductive look.
