Brows are one of the most defining features on the face, and when shaped improperly can draw attention in all the wrong ways. Also, the last couple of years have seen a jump in makeup tutorials about eyebrows and a slew of makeup products in the market. Every bride wants her brows to look exactly like Deepika Padukone. It’s time to get on the bandwagon on the most important day of your life!
So we bring you a 101 on eyebrows – all that you need to know and more!
Brow Pencils: These handy little tools allow for precise brow-filling. Most people who want the most control will use a pencil, because of its simplicity and ease of use. Try a pencil that sports a cream to powder formula, which allows for it to glide on easily and efficiently.Use a fine-tipped pencil and do draw in small strokes.
Pick the right shade: No, jet black isn’t your shade even if that’s what you feel. Choosing the wrong colour to fill in your brows is another way you can make your brows look "done" in a bad way. If you're having trouble finding the perfect shade, try using two different tones to fill in your brows. Essentially, choose a colour that is one shade lighter than your eyebrow shade to look natural.
Filling is the big job: You might have thin brows or thick, filling them in is mandatory. Angled brushes really help in adding depth as you use them to add eyeshadow powder to add opacity. After you draw them in, just use your fingertips and smudge it in so it looks natural. And do keep brushing in as you are filling them in.
Brushing is everything: Grooming your brows is everything. How does one do that? Brush them first upwards, it will make your face look lifted. We'll say use these tools to set it in place. Use a brow gel, wax or even clear mascara to make a shape and set it. Use an old mascara wand, wash it and dip it in wax and swipe.
Use a Brow Gel: This tool delivers natural-looking eyebrows that stay put! Similar to mascara, brow gels come in tinted shades or clear varieties. Pick the brownest brown, it suits all Indian skin types!
Never do it a night before: There’s nothing worse than accidentally plucking out a chunk of your brows the night before a big event!
Brow cycle maintenance: To maintain a healthy deal, just do your first session 8-6 months before so once every two months you can update it. And as you tune it every time, by the time you are a bride, your new brows are ready!
Natural brows are everything: We heard that natural-looking bold brows have come back in a big way. So overdone, over-tuned and thinly-shaped ones are OUT. So bigger and wilder is better!

Understand your face types and eyebrows: Not everyone is blessed with natural looking great brows but with the right tools you can make your way there. Understand what style or shape will suit your face and won’t look like you have stuck someone else’s eyebrows on yours! So ask your salon lady to not go too much into it and leave it thick and vibrant. More is more! Comb It Down: Natural brows are the name of the game. This helps to create the perfect shape, with just the right amount of softness for a more natural look. After you fill the upper portion, comb brows back into place. Don’t over tweeze: This is something that we all are guilty of. Leave it to the experts to shape your brows or if you are in a hurry – just tweeze stray hair rather than go all adventurous on them! You could however tweeze stray hairs on your own and only lightly, so you know your face shape and have a clear understanding of what you want!
