I have only one question for you... want to up your eyebrow game?
I am here to offer tips, tricks, products, and hacks to help you achieve your eyebrow dreams.
My first tip, trick, and hack for killer brows starts with your morning routine. Before applying any any makeup, use a brow or eyelash gel to shape and hold them in place throughout the day.
I have tried multiple gels and my top two faves are
- NYX Control Freak Eyebrow Gel for only $5.99 at Target!
- Ardell Brow Sculpting Gel for $4.90
Once I tried this next tip, there was no going back for me! Not only did it change my my eyebrows, but my finished makeup look had a definite glow up!
Concealing your brows helps define your shape, and blend with your foundation - this way you don't have discoloration peaking out around your brows too.
If you don't pluck/wax/thread your brows very often, no worries! Concealing your brows helps to hide those little hairs!
I use the same concealer that I use for the rest of my face, but you could also use any other that is similar to your foundation color. I use a MORPHE brush to apply, and carve out my brows, to get a more precise outline.

Either you're consistent with keeping your brows in shape, or you're like me, and tend to slack off more often than not. I only pluck, like, twice a week.
However after taking Acutane (an acne prescription that makes your skin extremely sensitive) for 6 months, I wasn't allowed to wax my brows for A WHOLE YEAR.
*Cue panic* because that is the only thing my brows had going for them! I talked to my eyebrow guru and she recommended that I try threading - and even though its been almost 4 years since I haven't been able to wax, I haven't ever wanted to go back!
So, let's talk about the different benefits for waxing and threading:
The ultimate tip, trick, product, and hack I can recommend to you today is tinting your brows!
I love tinting because:
1. It fills in the gaps more permanently than an eyebrow pencil
2. If you dye your hair, tinting is a great way to be in control of your brows undertones, so that you can better match your new do'
3. If it fills in the gaps and keep the color consistent to the root, it helps to define your brow shape
4. It's less of a hassle, because the tint can last anywhere from 4-8 weeks!
5. The products I use last forever, so I don't have to restock, like, ever.
No need to find a eyebrow guru to tint your brows, click here for my DIY Eyebrow Tint Tutorial and for the products used in the video.
If you have perfected filling in your brows with an eyebrow pencil, then this product is for you!
Before I ever tried tinting my eyebrows, I knew I wanted my brows to be a little darker, more defined, and to help fill in the gaps.
So, when I was 15 I set off to Ulta to find the best brow pencil I could. I was looking for quality, color, price, and application style.
I have tried a few different brow pencils but found my favorite, that meets all my needs!
(These are my favorite brow pencils to use on clients too!)
Of course we love to have a few options, so I linked my top two brow pencils:
I pulled out all my tips, ticks, products, and hacks I have, all in the name of glorious brows!
