Many women overlook their eyebrows, or sometimes, even worse, over-pluck them. When it comes to eye makeup the eyebrows makes an important impression. They can provide a balanced look to your face, so its well worth making the effort to get them looking right.

Natural brows
For perfectly groomed brows in an instant, try combing through them with a brush to flick away any powder or foundation. Comb the hairs upwards and outwards. This will also help give you a wide-eyed look. Then lightly slick them with clear gel to hold the shape in place.

Eyebrow colour
To define your brows, you can use eyebrow powder or pencil. Apply powder with an eyebrow brush, dusting it through your brows and taking care not to sweep it onto the surrounding skin. This gives a natural effect, and requires little blending. Alternatively, use a well sharpened pencil to draw on tiny strokes, taking care not to press too hard or the finished effect will be unnatural. Then soften the lines you’ve made with the eye pencil by lightly stroking a clean cotton bud (swab) through your brows.
