1. Defining Your Brows: The Basics of Bold Brow Makeup
Bold brow makeup is all the rage right now and, if you’re ready to try it for yourself, you’ll need to start with the basics. You can begin to create the look of a bolder brow with two basic steps: defining and filling in your brows.
- Defining: Start by brushing your eyebrows using a spoolie or eyebrow comb before applying product. This will help you map out the outline of your brows before you start filling them in. Using a brow brush or a small angled brush, apply a lighter shade of makeup to define the overall shape of your brow. This will give you a beautiful base to work with.
- Filling In: After defining your brow shape, use a darker shade of makeup to fill them in. Make sure to use feathery, light strokes. You can always go over certain areas if you need more color, but try to keep the hand pressure light. If you don’t, you can end up with heavy and unnatural-looking brows.
You may find that your brows look a bit too dark once you finish, but that’s totally normal. Opt for a shade that’s slightly lighter than the color you want for your finished look. If you want to create a bolder brow, you can add more color after the first application, as long as you do it gradually.
With a few basic steps and the right shade of makeup, you’re sure to get the bold brow look you’ve been dreaming of!
2. Preparing the Perfect Canvas: Priming Your Eyebrows for Makeup Application
Every great structure is built on the perfect foundation, the same goes for makeup looks – the key to looking put together is a prepping the canvas! Step 2 of your eyebrow makeup look should be to prime your brows – giving your makeup something to set into.
There are multiple priming methods to choose from, so let’s discuss:
- Brow Gel: Apply a clear brow gel to fill in any sparse hairs, shape the arch and lay hairs down.
- Brow Wax: Applying a wax creates a smoother and cleaner canvas for your makeup product to sit on.
- Concealer: Use it to fill in any gaps, define your arch or sharpening of your brows. It’s also great for making brow hairs appear fuller.
For best results, always blend your primer into your brows using a spoolie, a small brush or a q-tip. Priming your brows will give you an even, smooth finish that will make the subsequent makeup products layer seamlessly.
Now that you’ve primed your brows and created the perfect canvas, you’re ready to move onto the next step: makeup application!
3. Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Bold and Accentuated Brows
Define Your Preferred Shape
When it comes to creating bold and accentuated brows, the first step is to define your preferred shape. Take a look at your eyebrows and draw a mental image of what you would like them to look like. It’s important that your brow shape fits your face, so measure it accordingly and leave enough room for adjustments. Keep in mind that you can always add more product but can’t retract once it’s there.
Fill in the Gaps
Once you have the shape in place, it’s time to fill in the gaps. Make sure you select the right product – eyebrow pencils and powders work the best for achieving bold brows. Start by applying a light stroke from the arch and extend it outward. Then, make sure to blend it in until you have a natural finish. It’s important to be patient when filling in your brows, as you can always add more but can’t retract.
Curl and Set your Brows
- Start from the base: using a spoolie brush, curl your brows upwards.
- Apply gel: take a light amount of brow gel and Spread your gel through your brows and shape your brows with it.
- Finish with hairspray: spray a few fingers away from your eyebrows and set your brows in place.
Curl and setting your brows is an essential step to make them look better. Make sure to use the right tools to get the job done. Balance is key, so make sure you curl them sparingly and don’t add too much product.
4. Essential Eye Makeup to Enhance Your Bold Brow Look
Your bold brows can be accented even more with the proper eye makeup. To make your brows really stand out, try the following eye makeup techniques.
- Mascara: Lengthen and thicken your lashes to complement your bold brows.
- Eyeliner: Trace along your lashline to give the appearance of larger eyes.
When applying eyeliner, consider using an eyeshadow instead. This will help to bring all of the colors of your eyeshadow together. Darker eye colors or a metallic shade are a great pick. Additionally, you can use a light shadow right under your brows to give a subtle, natural accent.
Last but not least, try some eye shadow to finish off the look. Select a color that is complementary to your brows and blend it in with an eyeshadow brush. This is a great way to accentuate your bold brows. Don’t forget to add some shimmery shadow on the inner corner or the lids for extra sparkle!
5. Pro Tips for Maintaining Bold and Accentuated Brows All Day Long
1. Keep a Spoolie Handy
Keep a spoolie nearby to groom your brows throughout the day. Use it lightly to brush back unruly hairs, as you would with a comb. Additionally, a spoolie can help you fluff up your brows if you need to go bolder at any point.
2. Set Your Brows with Gel
After your brows look the way you want them to, set them with a clear brow gel. This will help maintain the boldness of the shapes you created, and help prevent any smudging or fading that may occur off throughout the day.
3. Conceal Peeking Hairs
Once you have set your brows with gel, you may want to conceal any unruly hairs that stick out from the intended shape with concealer. Gel and concealer should be used together for best results.
4. Refresh With A Hydrating Mist
If you start to oil up throughout the day, spray a hydrating mist over your brows to reset them. Doing this helps to remove any excess oil and will quickly revive your bold and accentuated look!
