Answer 1

Whether you need to balance, fill in or simply define your brow, check out these top tips from Lancôme’s National Brow Specialist, Helen Andreos, who knows all the secrets to the perfect brow.


Powder skin. This helps brow pencil go on smoothly and evenly. Apply powder with the Blending Brush.

Find the right brow pencil shade. Try Le Crayon Poudre and select a shade that blends with your hair color, not one that is too dark.

To define the brow, use the flat edge of Precision Brush plus a concealer of your choice. To soften the definition, apply a touch of powder over the brow using Blending Brush.

Highlight the brow bone by applying a lighter shade of Color Design Eye Shadow in Daylight or Filigree using Precision Shadow Brush. Apply color both under and over the brow bone.

Keep brow gel on hand. It can slightly deepen the brow hair color if brows appear too grey or too light. It also helps control and hold brow hair in place.

Answer 2

do you have any hair for your eyebrows? If you do I would suggest not using a pencil and instead using maybellines brow wand. It comes in 3 colors depending on your hair color, pick the one that best fits you and its kind of like mascara for your brows. Works great. Brush it up and down against the hair, let it set a minute and comb it through with an eyelash brush or take a tiny eyeshadow brush, dip it in eyeshadow of a similar shade, very lightly and brush that through afterwards. Its alot more natural than a pencil...

if you do use a pencil, do not use a darker shade than your hair color! And make the shape thin so you can then blend it out a little.... the maybelline product is much better in my opinion.

Answer 3

I agree with everyone else, using an eyebrow specified product would be the best way to do it if you aren't too good at using a pencil. I use a pencil, but I don't draw mine on, I only gently sweep the side of the pencil tip along my natural brow, and if I get too much on, I rub a little lotion on my eyebrows, clean it up with a tissue, and they look natural again

Answer 4

first , don't use a pencil, they will be heavy and yes, dorky. instead use a liner brush, and fill in with powder, closest to you natural shade, you can add a little water, just to get a heavier looking line, but keep from the pencils,,, try thr powder liners, you can use eye shawdow to do the job, try it , it make a big difference.

Answer 5

Don't use eye liner I just use black/brown eyeshadow with a very small brush. Or you can just buy the kit that has the right brush and shadows to paint them.

Answer 6

you should try an angle brush and a shadow that is one to two shades lighter than your natural hair color or the hair color you have!!!! it looks more natural. or you could just get them tattooed on!!!!

Answer 7

you can't, eye brows that are drawn in cannot be perfect they will always look fake and unattractive. perfect eye brows are grown and groomed properly

Answer 8

I would use powder and a small angled brush. slightly darker than your real hair color.
