Here’s how to achieve gorgeous brows like poster child Cara Delevingne:
For blondes born with this combo naturally, you’re all set with the light hair/dark brow look.
For blondes with light brows, you can quickly achieve a contrasting brow with a powder or pencil. For brunettes, it’s a moot point. But you can do the reverse and try eyebrows that are lighter than your hair, as many celebs do.
For brown-eyed girls, making your brows slightly lighter can really make your eyes pop. Of course, you don’t want to go too light, then it looks like you don’t have eyebrows at all. And, bleaching brows never looks right, so what’s the best way is to fill brows in with a colour that is slightly lighter than brow hair.
If you have dark brown hair, use a light/medium brown brow pencil. If you have light brown hair, use a taupe/dark blonde pencil, and so on. Use the pencil to feather on a little colour wherever your brows are thin or sparse, and then use a spooly brush to blend it through and blur any visible lines. You can also use a tinted brow gel just a shade lighter than your brows to tint them slightly lighter. This gives the appearance of fullness and definition while still looking natural.
Of course, there’s always door #3: brows that are the same colour as your hair. For most of us, nature has already provided the most flattering option, which is probably why so many women just leave well enough alone. For redheads in particular, matching brows are almost always the best option.
And always remember: brows should complement the face, not overpower your features.
