Learn how to master the softly sculpted brow look in four easy steps
NOT blessed with the fullest brows but don’t want to go full-on Insta HD?
Then you need to master our softly sculpted look. Find out how in four easy steps.
Step 1. Brush
IN order to see the true shape of your brows, the first thing you should do is brush them up.
Use the longer end of Nanshy Double-Ended Spoolie Brush to groom hairs up from the bottom.
You can then use the smaller end to blend in any excess product later in Step 3.
Not got much brow to work with? Slick on Revitalash Revitabrow Advanced daily, as it contains conditioning biotin peptides and panax ginseng to help stimulate growth and strengthen hairs.

Step 2. Carve
GRAB a fine eyebrow pencil (choose a shade that’s slightly lighter than your natural colour to avoid a bold, heavy look), such as Ardell Brow-Lebrity Micro Pencil.
Or use an angled liner brush to apply a pomade, such as Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade for the same effect.
Using the brush, start from the middle of your brow and draw towards the tail in a smooth action to define the upper arch, following the natural outline.
Don’t worry about getting both brows looking exactly the same – they’re sisters, not twins!

Step 3. Feather
MOST of us find that some areas of our brows are sparse.
Using an eyebrow pencil, draw fine strokes in these parts, starting very lightly on the inner corner and getting firmer with the pencil as you approach the end.
To disguise any accidental heaviness, use the small end of your spoolie brush to gently groom brows upwards until they look perfectly blended.
Don’t be afraid to brush too much, as extra strokes can be added in afterwards if needed.

NOW you’ve got your brows looking soft and fluffy, it’s time to set them in place.
Brush a clear gel such as Urban Decay Brow Finish in Ozone in an upwards and outwards motion to smooth them in place all day.
Still want to add a little more definition? Try Glossier Boy Brow which contains tiny, hair-like fibres that make for bolder brows.
