Well-groomed, gorgeous eyebrows are a must for anyone looking to improve their overall appearance. Eyebrows are a focal point of the face, allowing us to show surprise, anger and other emotions. How can you enhance the look of your own eyebrows? By using some essential tools for beautiful eyebrows, you'll be able to get perfectly groomed, natural-looking eyebrows quickly and easily.
Whether it's shaping your brows through plucking or waxing, or simply brushing them to keep them smooth and glossy, creating beautiful eyebrows isn't a difficult task. Upkeep is important, however, and with the right tools keeping your brows in check can be done with ease. Read on to learn more about the essential tools you need for beautiful eyebrows.
Essential Tools for Creating Beautiful Eyebrows
In this video, makeup artist Davee Troublefield recommends some essential tools that you can use to create perfect eyebrows. Troublefield says the two tools that are absolute musts for getting perfect brows are tweezers (for removing stray brow hairs) and eyebrow brushes, to help smooth the brows. By using these two tools, you'll be able to keep your brows looking their best.
Step 1: Tweezers
If you're looking to create gorgeous eyebrows, you'll want to invest in a good pair of tweezers. Tweezing your brows is a must if you want to make them look smooth and polished. With practice, you'll be able to shape your brows by plucking stray hairs from under the brow. In addition, by tweezing your brows you can create a natural-looking arched eyebrow.
Tweezers come in many shapes and sizes. You can purchase your tweezers at a drug store or online - a variety of tweezers are available from beauty supply stores such as Ulta and Sephora. Prices will vary: a pair of Tweezerman tweezers, for example, can cost $20 or more.http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P123900
Step 2: Eyebrow Brushes
An eyebrow brush can help you enhance the look of your brows by smoothing stray hairs that you don't necessarily want to pluck. Brushes are typically dual in nature: one side of the brow brush has bristles (similar to a hair brush) and the other side features prongs (like a hair comb). The brow comb side can be used to coax unruly brow hairs into place. The brush side can then be used to smooth down the entire brow.http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2200730&productId=xlsImpprod1190328&navAction=push&navCount=1&subdoc=1490ultab2g2wk47&categoryId=cat970005%20cat120084%20cat80138%20cat120078 Be sure to choose a brow brush with a longer handle for ease of grooming.
Step 3: Other Tips and Suggestions
If you've mastered the fine art of tweezing your brows and you're familiar with using brow brushes to groom, you may be ready to try a few other tools to make your brows the most beautiful they can be.
Brow pencils can be used to fill in gaps in your brows - areas where the brows might not be their thickest. Be sure to choose a pencil color that is closest to your brow color to keep the eyebrows looking natural. Types of pencils will vary; some eyebrow pencils come with a small brow brush on one end for convenience.http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P69305
Brow powders function much the same way as brow pencils, allowing you to naturally fill any areas in your brows that may be lacking. Some brow powders can also be used as eyeliner.http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P231447&categoryId=C10474#moreInfo
