​Tips for achieving the perfect eyebrow look:

Instagram feeds range from food to clothes and everything in between, however, the most popular pages on Instagram have proved to be makeup pages. 

Every girl is guilty of trying to achieve that perfect James Charles look of smokey eyeshadow, plump lips and PERFECT eyebrows to compliment it.

Eyebrows are the main focus of any makeup look, which is why I have come up with 5 easy tips to achieve that perfect shade and shape!
    

First, an easy tip is buying the right products, here’s a general list of what you'll need to buy, these items can be found at CVS or your local drug stores:

• Tweezers
• Spoolie
• Brow Brush
• Brow Gel
• Brow pencil
• Brow powder or pomade 

My second tips are optional but useful, you should get your eyebrows waxed or plucked.  From my personal experience, I prefer waxing because it hurts less.  Waxing is quick and painless meanwhile plucking is a little more time consuming, it does provide more shape.

The third tips are how to line your eyebrows perfectly, you should use a brow brush or brow pencil.  When lining your eyebrows you should start at the bottom, then to the top.  After that you should brush up the eyebrow with the spoolie, so your eyebrows won't look messy.  

If you can’t line it perfectly, you can use eyebrows shaping stencil cards that are available at local stores.   To fill in your eyebrows, you should use brow powder or the pomade.  When you're filling in your eyebrows you should start at the center softly, then go to the tip of your eyebrows. 

Make sure that you're blending as you go because you do not want to have your eyebrows super dark!

Lastly, here’s what Brien McMahon High School student, Ana Torres says, “I do my eyebrows by using benefits eyebrow pencil.  I start with the arch of my eyebrow and then the tail of the eyebrow and then start to fill in the rest of the eyebrow and if I’m not lazy or if I have more time in the morning I’ll fix the eyebrow a little by concealing the sides of my brow making it look more sharp and clean.” 

I personally know by experience that it’s a lot of work to do eyebrows, especially if you have never tried doing your eyebrows by yourself before. So hopefully after reading this article, it’ll help you create the perfect brow.
