Forget waxing and threading! Big, bold brows are the latest beauty trend this year. Thick, well-groomed eyebrows have been seen on everyone from celebrities to everyday fashionistas. Whether they are heavy or dainty, perfect arches and filled-in brows are great way to frame your face. Check out these ideas to help you get perfect brows.

Eyebrow Pencils

Eyebrow pencils are perfect for filling in those gaps and bald spots, changing the overall shape of your brow and creating a higher arch. They are also a great brow corrector. The thinner the pencil, the easier it is to draw on precise hairs.

Spring Eyebrow TrendsTip: Make sure to use gentle strokes to avoid noticeable pencil lines. If the lines are noticeable, using an eyebrow brush is ideal for blending. Stay within the hairline of the brow to ensure a natural look.

Eyebrow Gels

Brow gels instantly fill in the entire eyebrow with just one swipe. They’re perfect for creating a hint of hue and managing loose hairs. Look for waterproof gels to ensure the color will last all day.

Tip: Sweep the brush in an upward motion through the entire eyebrow. Don’t forget to wipe the excess gel off the brush before use to avoid clumping.

Spring Eyebrow TrendsEyebrow Powder

Powder gives brows a heftier look if you want a thick brow. Brow powder is a bit trickier to use, as opposed to other products, because it can be very tough to blend. But with precision and the right applicator, brow powder can create the ultimate brow.

Tip: Make sure you find the right color for your eyebrows; try for one that closely resembles your hair color or a shade or two lighter. Powders can come out strong, and a color that doesn’t match can ruin the effect. Use a minimal amount of powder and build up slowly to the desired thickness and shape.

Eyebrow Waxes

Eyebrow waxes can be used as brow filler or as a way to slick down any loose hairs. Brow waxes can also be used as a finisher after applying other brow products. Waxes keep the color and shape of the brow in place all day and come in various shades, including clear.

Spring Eyebrow TrendsTip: Lightly brush the brow on an angle in small, short movements to avoid an over-greased brow and unwanted matte.

When using these products, try a brow brush or a brow smudger to maintain a clean and sharp line. And never forget to keep tweezers and brow trimmers handy to pluck the strays and trim those long, pesky hairs!
