Tweezers and scissors are your first line of defense against offensive brows. With these tools, you

shape as well as adjust thickness and length. Every artist should have a great pair of slant tweeze

artists favorites are Tweezermanand Lavaque) as well as safety scissors, which are essential for t

and adjusting.

For a true artist trick, try a pair of twissors (a scissor-tweezer hybrid) from Alconeor Cinema Se

Because they can cut hair really close to the skin without cutting the skin itself, twissors make ey

sculpting even easier: you can get rid of hairs that are too long or growing in the wrong direction

the time commitment of tweezing, or redness it can cause. I also recommend carrying a brush or c

setting the brow hairs into place.

Many artists leave eyebrow pencils out of their makeup arsenal, but dont make that mistakepe

must-have. Pencils work perfectly on brows, because the marks sit on top of the skin and add dim

providing volume to a flat or thin brows. Use them to fill in sparse or patchy eyebrows with a natu

that mimics missing hairs. I prefer mechanical pencils, as the thinner tip allows for precise applica

Anastasia Brow Wiz.

Shadows and other powder-based products bring dimension and depth to brows, especially those

might are on the too-full side. They are also ideal for long wear and allow a range of effects from

dramatic. I prefer those that are dense in pigment and have a matte finish. I recommend carrying

from soft taupes to rich browns to complement natural eye and hair hues, as well as burgundy an

sienna for matching processed hair colors. Try Too Faceds Brow Envy Kit, Senna Cosmetics Brow

Gels and waxes are wonderful for lightening a darker brow or holding a disorderly one in place. So

sculpting the brow can take years off of the face and can help spotlight certain elements of the fa

example, if you want the focus to be a smoky eye, lightening up the eyebrow a few shades can dir

attention where you want or need it. For a collection thats as universal as possible, carry brow ge

waxes in clear, blonde, ash, and taupe. Many brands have amazing brow gels, but some of my fav

shades come from Anastasiaand MAC. Make Up For Evers Aqua Browis a waterproof formula th
