There's a lot more to perfect brows than just hair removal. To get the ideal brows, you need fullness and definition. Many women have light, thin eyebrows with spaces in them. Eyebrows typically thin out as we age, and full brows are a sign of youth. That's where these products come in. There are so many eyebrow products on the market, from gels and waxes to powders and pencils. They're available at just about every price point, and you can try out different formulas to see which one works best for you. When choosing a brow color, you may want to choose a color that's the same depth as your hair color if you're a brunette. If you're blonde or light-haired, you may want to go a shade or two darker to add some definition. The most essential part of choosing a brow color is the tone. If your hair color is cool, stick with cool colors, and if it's warm, stick with warmer colors. You can play around with depth of color until you find the one that looks best on you. Taupe is a great color for most women, whether you're blonde or brunette.

   Eyebrow pencils

   .

   

   These are great for filling in spaces if you have sparse eyebrows. They add shape and definition, but they don't add much fullness. The best eyebrow pencils are a little on the waxy side, which helps them last all day. If the pencil is too creamy, it can smudge or disappear throughout the day. To get a natural look, you'll need an eyebrow brush or a spooly, which is often included on the bottom end of the eyebrow pencil. Make sure the tip is sharpened and use small, light strokes to fill in sparse areas. For more defined brows, draw a thin line along the bottom and top of your eyebrows, and blend the lines towards your eyebrows with a spooly. You want to mimic the look and direction of hair growth.

   Eyebrow powders

   These are great for adding fullness and color, and they're a little more forgiving than eyebrow pencils. You can apply the powder directly to your eyebrows in small strokes with a small, stiff brush. If your brow powder comes with two shades, you can use the lighter one on the inner portion of your brows near your nose, and the darker one from your arch to the outer point of your eyebrows. You can also blend the two colors together for a customized color. For extra definition, you can get the brush wet first. Some eyebrow powders come with a wax, which you can use to shape your brows or mix with the powder on your brush. After applying the brow powder, brush your eyebrows to blend the makeup.
