In this brave new age of Fierce Brows<\/a>, we are all refugees of no-brows<\/a>, mono-brows<\/a>, comma brows<\/a>, and drawn-on brows<\/a>, and have come to Brow City hoping we will be welcomed with open arms.<\/p>\n YE SHALL.<\/p>\n Here is how to get the \u00c3\u00bcber-brows you desire.<\/p>\n Step one: \u00a0Pluck the outliers.<\/strong><\/p>\n You probably have a healthy fear of tweezers by now\u2014all of us have gotten a little tweeze-happy and ended up looking\/feeling like this<\/a> \u00a0at some point\u2014but you *will* be okay. Thread your forefinger and thumb through the tweezer handles, raise the pincers to your brows, steady your heart rate, and remove just the wild \u00a0hairs growing out by Hagrid’s Hut.<\/p>\n I choose to also get rid of the eyebrow ends, where they \u00a0dip down into a haphazard mess, but your eyebrows are probably so thin there it’s not a big deal either way. And there is no chance you will overpluck, so don’t worry.<\/p>\n Step two: Brush them.<\/strong><\/p>\n The goal here is neatness, maybe, but mostly to see what you’re working with. Brush your eyebrows straight up into a super-Cara<\/a> and then smooth the top in an outward direction (you can snip the tops? But I don’t do that?). If you are me, you will be horrified at \u00a0just how long some of your eyebrows are until you remember: oh yeah, this look<\/a> is in right now. Cool<\/a>.<\/p>\n Step three: Begin blocking.<\/strong><\/p>\n Your eyebrows might look like a shuttlecock flying through the air, or a squirrel dive-bombing off a tree, or a comet, and THAT IS OKAY, because we are now going to transform them into handsome forehead wings. Using some brow-shaped shadow and an angled brush, sweep a straightish line from the bottom of your brow near your nose to the underneath of the eyebrow peak, then continue the line out toward your hair line. There might be a bit of a gap between the line and the possum-doing-crunches brow that sits above it. That is okay! Really think about making the line straight, more than a rollercoaster of curves. This will make your brows nice and blocky and powerful, like a handsome calligraphic stroke.<\/p>\n Step four: Block in the top.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hoo hoo hoooo, now we’re getting our superbrowers (idk). Sketch a light line from the upper end of your brows near your nose to the peaks, or loci<\/em> of attitude. Continue the line down and out to wherever you decided the tail would end. You should feel a bit cartoonish at this point. Refer to this before-and-after picture of Lauren Conrad<\/a> to reaffirm your faith in filling your brows.<\/p>\n Step five: Fill them in!<\/strong><\/p>\n Now do little strokes with the brush anywhere there is a gap between your brow and the lines you sketched. Think of each stroke as a missing brow hair. This feels weird, right? Don’t worry, we will soften the look before loosing you on Orange County<\/a>.<\/p>\n Step six: One last brush!<\/strong><\/p>\n Repeat the up-and-across brush technique you honed in step two with your brow\/lash brush\/comb. This will help the shadow blend with your brows a bit, soften the edges, and justify your keeping such a ridiculous-looking implement in your beauty toolbox. We all have one, don’t we? Somewhere between age 8 and 13, you just end up with one, with a really cheap plastic head that falls off all the time. Where do they come from???<\/p>\n If you are feeling fanceee, you can use a clear mascara to “set” your brows\u2014this is an extra credit move that is somewhat important if you want the lustrous animal brows of Cara D.<\/p>\n You’re done! Now you don’t have to worry about doing anything with your eyes or face or clothes, because brows alone are it.<\/p>\n Have you stepped into the \u00a0browerful world of brow-filling? \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this brave new age of Fierce Brows, we are all refugees of no-brows, mono-brows, comma brows, and drawn-on brows, and have come to Brow City hoping we will be welcomed with open arms.
