How to Define Your Brows

You know I’m all about simplicity. Getting back to the basics. Beauty should be easy. And a step that is often neglected in your beauty routine is defining your brows! But it shouldn’t be a hard step. Here is how to define your brows and how you can easily do it in your home!

Once your brows are nice and maintained, you need to give them a beautiful look by defining them. How do you do that?? Easy peasy. Just take an angled brow brush and either some eyeshadow or contour color that coordinates with your brow hair color. With just two things, you can get your brows lookin gooood!

How to Define your Brows

First off, it doesn’t do any good to define your brows by filling them in if they’re not maintained. You don’t want to accentuate bushy and furry brows. Your brows should be a nice shape before you define them. You can refer to brow maintenance here for some other great brow tips before you start with this step.

Take your angled brow brush, dip it in the eyeshadow or contour shade and fill in your brows. You want to use short hair like motions to mimic the look of hair growth. If you want a more natural look, then just simply fill in the areas of in your brows to make them appear fuller. If you want your brows really defined and dramatic, then use the brush to shape around your brow.

Defining your brows helps frame your face. It gives your brows definition and shape that helps finish off your look. It just tops your look off and gives your face a beautiful touch!

Beauty Basics Brow Maintenance

Raise your hand if you want beautiful brows! Brows can really make or break your look. Taking care of your brows is such an easy but important step in your beauty process. So here is a beauty basics brow maintenance tutorial for you so you can get good brows in your home!

Shape

First off, you want to make sure you have a nice shape to your brows. This may mean that you need to invest in getting them professionally waxed or threaded or tweezed. But trust me, it’s well worth the money to get started on the right foot! You will save money in the long run because you can maintain them from home.

Boundaries

Once your brows are a nice shape, you want to make sure that they stay within their boundaries. Brows have boundaries?! You betcha! Simply take a pencil or makeup brush and place it vertically along the side of your nose and the inner corner of your eye. You don’t want your brow hair to grow past this point. Next, take the brush and place it diagonally from your nose to the outer corner of your eye. Your brow hair should not grow past this point. Easy peasy right??

Tweeze

Now what do you do if your hair is growing past your boundaries? What if you have stragglers making their way away from the beautiful brow shape? All you have to do is tweeze! But you must do it properly. Take a good set of tweezers and grab a lone hair. You want to tweeze in the same direction of the hair growth. This will allow the hair to come out easily without breaking the hair. It will also prevent ingrown hairs. Do this with all the stragglers that are outside of the beautiful brow boundaries.

Trim

You have a nice brow shape, they have boundaries, and they are tweezed. Great! But you must also make sure they are trimmed! Just like you need frequent haircuts, your brows need frequent trims. You do not want long, out of control hair growing on your beautiful face! You only need two things: cuticle scissors and a mascara wand. Simply take the wand and brush the hair up. Then take your scissors and trim the excess hair growth. And that’s it!

By shaping, having boundaries, tweezing, and trimming your brows you will have beautiful brows to frame your face! I love me some beauty basics and this is basic brow maintenance that you can easily do in your home! Good luck!
