Eyes Beauty Tip
Beat those brow blahs
submitted: Mar 5, 2008tip #274
As any makeup artist can attest, never underestimate the power of the perfectly arched brow. A quick trick to tame unruly brows and accentuate your arch is to use your favorite mascara in a shade darker than your natural hair color. For a naturally defined look, wipe excess product off the mascara wand with a tissue and using light feathery strokes, fill in brows and tame stray hairs at the same time.

hmm ima try this :S
Thats what I do ALL the time, haha.
you do what all the time?
I have a problem with this one if you plan on using that mascara on your eyelashes again after wiping it with tissue! Tissue leaves little fibers on the wand. I suppose you could wash it off, but then you'd better be sure the wand is dried off before putting it back in the container, or I suppose you could buy a separate mascara just for your eyebrows. I always used the clear mascara for mine.
hehe whenever the word tissue pops into a beauty tip...keep in mind its (to me at least) tissue "paper" they're referring to. smiles C: good luck!
You can find a brow brush at the store that has an eyelash brush on the end of it, simply give it a little dip in the mascara and use it. I just tried it and it totally works. This is a good tip.
I love those brushes! I use hairspray or something though...just not a lot because on my left brow I have a cow lick...lol
They have products specifially for eyebrows. I like Ardell brow sculpting gel. Its like mascara but a thinner consistency. It keeps my eyebrows looking perfect all day. This stuff is awesome for girls with blonde brows like me!!
BLONDE HAIR DOES NOT LOOK RITE WITH BLACK EYEBROWS! LOL
I know but I did like the style I would change the color to a reddish brown with possibly some blonde highlights and give more arch to my eyebrows.
Its a light brown...not black
They have mascara in browns too, hello they said a shade darker than your natural hair color.
They stated one shade darker than your hair so from blond to black is more than one shade darker. You can also use a tube of mascara that is almost out that way you dont get to much. It works great.
i would never put mascara on my brows, that's why they make products for lashes! mascara isn't made to match haircolor, it would be unnatural for most & might make them TOO stiff
hmm You dnt know many mascara brands do U lol, & like the other chick said use 1 that is pretty well empty n if U apply it correctly it will NOT be hard n crusty lol, & thier is a woide variety of colours so if u cant find somthing that looks natural on u than u not lookin hard enough, (theirs somthing 4 every 1 )
so they have clear mascara no days i wonder if that wold work better ..cuz its doesnt get hard and gunky like reular mascara
forever i have used an old toothbrush it works pretty well, everyone thinks im crazy but, try it :D
I like to use powder because it looks more natural.
Been doing the job since i was 14 LOL!
GONNA USE THIS PRODUCT
Thanks for the tip! I just started do this, and its so much better then a toothbrush and eyeliner to do the trick.LoL
Well,I'm gonna have to look into it.!!!!!
if you dont want 2 use maskera(dont noe how 2 spell ithink)u can always use eyeliner to make it match just make sure u get the rite color ard try not 2 put to much lol
My eyebrows are alright but on one side I find that I always have a few strays that like to stick up. Not in the middle of the brow but right at the start of the brow. I dont want to pluck them because then I will have a little empty spot. Besides mascara what could I use to tame them?
try brow gel or use trimmer. You dont have to pluck them just shorten them but be careful and do a little at a time cause as they say you can always take away, but you cant put anything back. lol
this is Carisa, I was wondering if I could also do the makeup makeover like i did the hair makeover? and if i can...how? thanks
this works w/ clear mascara and it arches ur brows

Puh-lease dont use dark use clear

There is a product by Anastasia that is fantastic! It comes with a mascara type of gel and matches your hair color. You can buy it at Sephora.
Wouldn't it smudge? I tried it once, and it looked totally unnatural and weird.
