Are you one of the many who have jumped on the trend of defined yet naturally styled brows? Then you'll be pleased with our insight: this trend will remain popular for a long time! Considering how well-groomed brows can enhance your facial features and open up your eyes, it's something we fully support. That's why we've created a guide with 5 steps to naturally perfect brows.
1. Shape your brows to suit your face
Brow experts suggest that the first step to beautiful brows is to always start with your natural brow shape. Most often, your natural shape already suits your face, so it's best to stick to it. If you naturally have thicker brows, don't try to make them too thin. This doesn't mean you shouldn't shape them at all, just that you should never remove too much hair.
There are many ways to shape your brows, including waxing, threading, or tweezing unwanted hairs with tweezers. If you want to do it yourself at home, it's easiest to shape your brows with tweezers. Remember to pluck only one hair at a time; otherwise, you might end up with much thinner brows than intended. Only pluck the hairs that grow outside your natural shape. We recommend tweezing your brows no more than once a week.
If you choose to shape your brows with tweezers, we recommend investing in a high-quality pair. We like Xbrow Tweezers, a durable tweezer made of high-quality steel with an angled and sharp tip. This allows you to get incredibly close to the hairs for a good grip, making it easy to pull out the entire strand.
2. Use a brow serum
If your brows are sparse in certain areas or if you simply want thicker brows, you can enhance them with a brow serum. It stimulates hair growth and helps make your brows more defined and fuller. If you want to boost your natural brow shape and make them even more beautiful, you should definitely try a brow serum!
A brow serum that has worked wonders for many is Xbrow Eyebrow Serum, which increases the thickness, volume, and length of brow hairs. By applying the serum every night for at least 28 days, it will help you achieve fuller and more beautiful brows. Some of Xbrow's main ingredients include Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17®, which repairs and stimulates brow hair growth, Woad leaf extract, which increases volume and thickness, and Vitamin E, which strengthens, nourishes, and heals.
3. Learn to highlight your brow shape like a pro
Once you've shaped your brows and boosted them with Xbrow Eyebrow Serum, the next step is to highlight and style them. With a brow pencil, you can hardly go wrong. Here are our best tips for learning to highlight your brow shape like a pro.
Choose the right shade
If you want to achieve the look of naturally styled brows, we recommend choosing a shade that matches your natural hair color—more or less. For the best results, use a brow pencil that is about one to two tones darker than your natural brow and hair color.
Don't draw too much outside your natural brow shape
When filling in your brows, you can of course draw a little outside the natural shape to make them fuller. But be careful not to go too far outside. For example, if you make the outer part of the brow, the "tail," too long, it can look unnatural. If you stick to your natural shape when filling in with a brow pencil, it will both frame and open up your eyes.
Be gentle with your hand
This step requires some practice, but try to draw your brows with a light and steady hand. If you're too heavy-handed, the result can be too sharp. For a natural look, use a brush to blend out harsh lines and distribute the color better across the brows.
Choose a brow pencil with a thin tip
Are your brows sparse in certain areas? To fill them in naturally, use a brow pencil with a very thin tip. This makes it easier to draw thin, natural strokes that make the brows look fuller and more even.
Our favorite is the Xbrow Eyebrow Pencil, which has a built-in brush that you can use to style your brows both before and after applying the pencil. It has a micro-thin applicator that allows you to create denser, yet naturally styled brows. With its soft and creamy consistency, it's easy to apply and stays in place all day. The Xbrow Eyebrow Pencil is available in three different colors: Beige Brown, Dark Brown, and Greyish Grey.
4. Define the arches of your brows
When filling in your brows with a pencil, it's important to define the arches as well. But don't make them too high or too pointed. You don't want to look constantly surprised or angry, do you? It's best to stick to your natural brow arch. Draw with a light hand and fill in where needed. If you want to highlight the arch further, you can apply concealer just underneath. This will also help open up your eyes.
5. Complement the brow pencil with a brush
For naturally styled brows, you really only need two products: a brow pencil and a mascara brush. Start by brushing through your brows so that all the hairs lay correctly, making it easier to achieve an even application with the pencil. After drawing your brows, finish by brushing through them to blend out sharp lines and make the color look more natural. With the Xbrow Eyebrow Pencil, you get both a pigment-rich brow pencil and a brush, making it easy to create naturally styled brows. Buy it here!.
