You can darken your eyebrows to visually look younger and draw the attention of others to your eyes. This is a very simple process that will help improve your appearance, but it requires precision. Make sure you have enough information about the process itself and about choosing the right color. Choose one of the application methods described in this article.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Using an eyebrow pencil
Step 1. Choose a suitable eyebrow color
Choose a shade that is closest to your natural hair color.
- Don't choose a color that is darker than your brows. Go for a shade slightly lighter than your natural color if you can't find the perfect one. Keep in mind that brown always looks good on the eyebrows.
- Find the color that suits you best by drawing a line just above your own eyebrows with a pencil. Decide how dark the pencil mark will end up by applying varying degrees of pressure as you paint.
Step 2. First of all, you need to pluck your eyebrows
Proper eyebrow care is very important.
- Your eyebrows should be completely clean, so you should wash them with soap and water. Then dry them with a towel, which will allow you to properly apply cosmetics in the future. As you wash, pluck and dry, constantly look in the mirror.
- Hold the tweezers like a pencil. This position will give you maximum control over the process.
- Try to pull the hairs along with the roots. It is necessary to pluck along the natural direction of hair growth. Don't pluck too much, but make sure to get rid of any excess hair.
- When deciding on such a step for the first time, consider seeking professional help. In the future, you can use the resulting shape as a template for plucking your eyebrows yourself.
Step 3. Apply pencil in short and light strokes
Start at the inner corner of the eye and work your way outward.
- Sharpen your pencil well. Do this every time you apply makeup.
- Don't forget to put on your base makeup first. This order of application of the products will help prevent the possibility of accidental lubrication of cosmetics.
- Press down on the pencil to make the color visible. Make the strokes the same length as the eyebrow hairs. Fill in all the gaps.
Step 4. Mix the color
Use an eyebrow brush or cotton swab.
- Blend the color slightly in the direction of hair growth. Then comb your eyebrows.
- Look in the mirror and make sure the color is uniform. Remove excess pigment with a brush or cotton swab.
Step 5. Remove all extra lines
Remove blots with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover.
- Look at your reflection in the mirror and make sure not to go beyond the brow line. Serious mistakes can be corrected by gently washing off the pencil and then reapplying it.
- Try applying a clear brow gel to your brows to fix the color pigment. Do not touch your eyebrows until the gel is completely dry.
Method 2 of 3: Use mascara, eyeliner, or eyeshadow
Step 1. Choose the right color for your eyebrow makeup
Match the color as close to your natural hair tone as possible.
- Don't choose a color that is darker than your brows. Go for a shade a little lighter than your own if you can't find an appropriate one.
- Find the shade that suits you best by drawing a line just above the brows. Determine how dark your makeup should be by doing it with different pressures.
Step 2. Decide on the product you will be using
This can be mascara, eyeliner, or eyeshadow. Choose one of the three steps below.
- Choose the type of makeup you feel most comfortable with. You can use the cosmetics that you already have.
- Keep in mind that the eyeshadow is the easiest to apply, but it rinses off quickly. For more control over the shape of your eyebrows, use mascara and eyeliner.
Step 3. Use mascara to tint your eyebrows
Brush lightly along the eyebrows, starting from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner.
- Make sure to put on all your other makeup before doing this. Refresh your brows every time you reapply makeup.
- When applying mascara to your brows, dip the brush into the jar only once. Apply mascara in an even layer.
Step 4. Apply eyeliner to the eyebrows
Start at the inner corner of the eye and work your way to the outer corner.
- Make sure to apply all the rest of your makeup first. Refresh your brows every time you reapply makeup.
- Apply eyeliner in short, light strokes. Mix the color with an eyebrow brush or ear sticks.
Step 5. Apply eyebrow eyeshadow
Keep in mind that the eyeshadow is the easiest to apply, but it rinses off quickly.
- Make sure to apply all the rest of your makeup first. Refresh your brows every time you reapply makeup.
- Dip the eyeshadow brush in a color that is slightly darker than your brows. Run the brush gently along the brows.
Method 3 of 3: Tint your eyebrows
Step 1. Choose a suitable dye
Read the instructions on the package and make sure it is easy to use.
- Choose the color that is closest to your natural hair color. Try to bring your eyebrow color as close as possible to your hair tone. Consider using the same color for your eyebrows that you use on your scalp.
- Don't choose a color that is darker in tone than your eyebrows. Opt for a slightly lighter shade if you cannot find the appropriate one.
Step 2. To avoid getting paint in your eyes, proceed with extreme caution
Protect your eyes as much as possible.
- Consider getting help from a friend. Ask him to watch the paint so that it does not run down to the eyes as it dries.
- Isolate your eyes as much as possible. Do this with glasses, safety glasses, or sunglasses.
- Rinse your eyes thoroughly with water if dye does get in there. Do not reapply the dye if your eyes are already irritated.
Step 3. The eyebrows must be clean and dry

- Start combing your eyebrows from the side closest to your nose. Comb your eyebrows towards your ears.

Step 5. First, paint the inner part of the eyebrow, which is closer to the eye
Look in the mirror and gently apply the color with an eyebrow brush.
- This will help you color the thickest and thickest part of your brows first. Apply paint evenly.
- Let the paint dry for two minutes before starting to fill in the gaps. Most dyes take at least 15 minutes to dry, so be careful not to smudge while waiting.
- Clean the outline of your brows with a cotton swab. Make sure not to stain your skin. Use a cotton swab dipped in warm water or a professional cleaner to clean the area around your eyebrows.
Step 6. Tint the outer part of the eyebrow
Do not paint the inside again, otherwise the color will be uneven.

Step 7. Rinse off excess paint
