We are going to talk about Choosing an eye brow pencil
Eyebrow pencils are possibly the most commonly misused cosmetic tool in the make up bag so we are going to give you some handy tips on Choosing an eye brow pencil
Apart from the often tragically comical looks worn by women who were convinced in decades past that the “right thing to do” was to remove their natural brows and “draw in” new ones, we also have less-striking errors like choosing the wrong colour of brow pencil (or using the eyeliner pencil interchangeably for the brows). All this of course is NOT what you are meant to do to have eye brows that other people admire.
First of all there are a lot of women who think that because their own eye brows are either blonde or quite sparse that they need to draw them in darker and thicker and in shapes that were never part of their face. So we say to all of you if you are now the proud owner of thick dark strange eye brows please stop you probably look funny, and read on.
Firstly we are going tell you how to choose the correct eye brow pencil for you:
Choosing the right pencil
It would seem like common sense to choose the right shade of eyebrow pencil, but women often get it wrong. Since the goal is to “enhance” the brows, choosing a shade that is the same or darker than your natural brows, can cause the brows to look too heavy. Therefore, we suggest that choose a shade for your eyebrow pencil that is a little lighter than your natural brows.
The range of colours for eye brow make up is limited these palettes are meant to correspond to the natural range of colours.Look for the selection of shades available and select the one that is closest to your natural shade, but slightly lighter. This means that you ONLY want to select anything approaching a black eyebrow pencil if YOUR NATURAL brows are truly black., which to be honest very few people actually are.
Obviously there is an exception to the rule for those with very blonde hair, you will likely find yourself having to choose a brow pencil that is darker than your natural shade. In some cases, some blonde women have naturally dark eyebrows. But for those whose brows are pale blonde, just go with the shade nearest your natural colour whether or not it’s lighter.
When choosing the right shade of eyebrow pencil, you also should also look at the way your brow pencil works. Since the proper use of a brow pencil involves having a good point on the pencil, you should bare this in mind when you are looking at the different pencils. Your brow pencil should have a sharpening apparatus, even in cases of the “twist up” type of brow pencil, you should have some means to refine the point of the pencil, so that you can create the fine feathery strokes to give a natural-looking result.
