Are you using the right product for your eyebrows? 

With so many options, gratefully, do you ponder off asking yourself are you using the right product for your brows. It's not a quick answer, those of you brow lovers know, how hard it is to find your perfect match, in so many ways.

I'm going to break this down as simplex as possible. As its hard to give you actual product/color recommendations without seeing your brows. Here are a few tips; and keep a look out as we are creating some CLEAN brow additions soon...

-Very Full Brows Naturally-
you might have full brows naturally yet you have sparse areas. I suggest using an ultra thin pencil as this will add depth and not over power. It gives hair like strokes filling in the areas softly. Pictured below Naturally by Definer

-Not Full Not Thin Brows-

You're the lucky one because the options are endless, as you can use loads of brow products giving you tons of different brow looks from super BOLD to Natural. If you are seeking something bold I suggest trying a pomade, the Anastasia pomade is a great eyebrow product for definition, thickness, and keeping all your little hairs in place (or out of place if that's the look you're going for) and this product

will not budge.

For those of you seeking a wispy look or a more natural look, I love using a tinted  gel. It adds color to your brows but also has staying power too, for those of you with unruly brows this can help a bit too. Ilia Volumizing Fiber Gel

-Over tweezed Brows-

depending on how much hair you have I always suggest using waterproof especially if you have oily skin.  I also suggest using a pencil to define and shape and a powder to set.  Giving you layers optimizing maximum staying proof.

I love Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil, it's no surprise

it's ALLURE BEST OF. BEAUTY

-Microbladed Brows-

if you have had your brows microbladed and feel you still need a little color and or taming I completely understand.  The color can fade and/or hues change. I like using a tinted gel to not only tame the brows but also to add color to the brows to help eliminate any "off" color you may have. If you don't have much actual brow hair and you see a lot of the microbladed color then a powder or a pen would be best. If you feel the color appears to be ash/green tones use a warm color tinted gel Like Ilia one I mentioned above (Medium Brown is the color) to counter reflect the ash tone. I also love our Eyebrow Filler in Light or Beautiful Brown adds the perfect amount of softness.

-Unruly Brows-

if you need a powerful gel to hold your unruly brows, look no further then the Benefit 24 hour brow setter. I prefer the Mini as their packaging is quite bulky. I usually set at home and don't add it to my makeup bag in my handbag. It is what it states it is, a Brow Setter.

BROWS, BOTOX and FILLERS did you know?...

                        -Color Guide-  

Color tone advise for our products as well as a few simple color tips;

Blonde- you like a full brow yet prefer a light color/tone.  Use a light ash tone either our Light Definer and/our Light Filler products would work for  you.                  

Blonde- but you prefer a darker brow, I suggest going one shade darker but if you're heavy handed stay with your natural color.  If you are light handed our Dark Definer Pencil is a great choice. If you are heavy handed I would stick with the Light Definer Pencil.                    

Brunette- you prefer a full yet light brow, I suggest using a shade lighter then your natural hair color, our Light Definer Pencil would be your perfect color or our Beautiful Brown Filler (used lightly).

Brunette- if you prefer a darker brow like myself I go a shade darker. I use Beautiful Brown Filler and Dark Definer Pencil for my eyebrows.

Reddish tones- if you're a strawberry blonde, I love light tones w/a bit of warmth blonde colors (our Light Definer and our Light Filler would be great choices!). If you are a darker red our Beautiful Brown Filler is the perfect tone.

Celebrity eyebrow guru @naturallyby breaks down her sought-after brow grooming routine for us. #WWWHowTo

A post shared by Who What Wear (@whowhatwear) on May 16, 2020 at 12:01pm PDT

Do you tweeze your eyebrows on a regular basis? Or you would not DARE till you saw a professional. Or are you like me? And you rarely tweeze. If you are tweezing everyday, please STOP. Let your eyebrow hairs try to get on a similar 'cycle' meaning if you leave them alone they can all possibly grow in a natural growth pattern, which is what you want. A client of mine, would NEVER dare to stop tweezing because she's Persian and in her culture she was used to getting her eyebrows done every 2-3 weeks and maintaining in between. Now its every 5-6 weeks.

Five tips that can prevent you from making common mistakes.

                             No. 1

                     FILL BEFORE YOU SHAPE

I suggest lightly filling in the eyebrows before you groom, yet that might sound counter intuitive, right?  My theory is that if you tweeze your eyebrows at the most natural 'thinnest' state you have a higher chance of over tweezing. Therefore filling in your eyebrows before ensures less tweezing leaving you with fuller brows. 

                             No. 2

                                TWEEZE ONE HAIR AT A TIME 

It sounds tedious and it is, don't forget its your face we're framing. So Tweeze ONLY HAIRS you KNOW do not need/belong, if at any moment during grooming you ask yourself “should I take this ONE SINGLE HAIR” the answer is NO don't tweeze it, play it safe.

                             No. 3 

                            NO TWO EYEBROWS ARE IDENTICAL

DON’T compare the two brows. Meaning during grooming DO NOT go back and forth to each brow. DO a light clean up per eyebrow thereafter TAKE A STEP AWAY FROM THE MIRROR to get an over all image of your face, eye shape, etc. Keeping in mind they're not identical. Keeping an overall perspective is best. And we all have our "good side."

                             No. 4

                            TAKE A STEP BACK FROM THE MIRROR

After stepping back you may think that was enough for your eyebrow shaping, if so move to the next step. If you feel your brows need a slight “lift” arch lets be VERY precise as this is something that needs to be taken hair by hair and stepping back, brush up and over and remember less is MORE. Don't forget if you are unsure, leave it. As far as tweezing above the brows, I'm not against it. Especially if you have a smaller forhead and a bold brow, you can get lost and your eyebrows (in my opinion) would over power your face as if your eyebrows walk into a room before you. We prefer the brows to compliment not over power your face.

                             No. 5 

                                  TRIMMING YOUR EYEBROWS 

For those of you daring enough or NEED to trim you eyebrows, again, same technique hair by hair…..you don’t want that chopped, I refer to as a Marine haircut gone wrong look, you know what I’m talking about…or worst you can create holes/gaps in your eyebrows if you cut too short, again less is more. And ONE by ONE. Following same technique of stepping back.

To finish the look use a spoolie ie; eyebrow brush to brush through the brows, done...naturally by...you
