We’ve all been there. We get a little tweezer happy and before we know it, we have tadpoles with tails. Or it’s not our fault at all and we’ve entrusted a new esthetician who clearly had a different (thinner) vision in mind. But don’t panic! There’s a way to fill them in while you’re waiting for them to grow out.
Here’s how:
TOOLS:
- Brow Shadow — The holy grail of brows is Too Faced’s Brow Envy Kit. It comes with the perfect shades, a mini spoolie brush and a stiff angled brow brush. If you already have the accessories, try our favorite brow powder.
- Stiff-Angled Brow Brush — The stiffer the better and this one builds the perfect brows.
- Water and Small Cup– if you’re in your bathroom, you can simply dip your brush under running water.
- Spooly Brush — You can use a disposable mascara wand or at $1.99, this one is a steal!
- Concealer — If you haven’t tried Pur Minerals Disappearing Act Concealer, you’re in for an amazing surprise! It covers everything.
- Concealer Brush — This one is a must-have for your kit because it really presses the concealer into the skin.
STEPS:
- Pour a small amount of water in a small cup and dip the brow brush into it. You can also simply wet it under running water.
- Strike the wet brush a couple of times against the brow powder. Sweep it against the back of your hand to smooth it out before you go near your face!
- Brush up the hairs with the spooly brush.
- Start at the bottom of the base of the brow and trace a line to the bottom of the arch.
- Continue outlining the bottom from the arch to the end of the tail. Exaggerate it a little so it looks like it did before you overplucked.
- Repeat by outlining the entire top of the brow, but don’t exaggerate it; stay within the real perimeter. Then wet and dip again then fill inside the outline by mimicking hair strokes.
- Brush the base hairs upward with the spooly brush.
- Brush the tail hairs outward.
- Dip the concealer brush into the concealer and sweep it along the brow bone directly under the brow.
