Tips On Buying & Using An Eyebrow Pencil
  • The first thing to be borne in mind while hunting for a perfect eye pencil is its shade. A wrongly chosen eyebrow pencil can be nothing more than a fashion faux pas. The trick to finding a perfect eye pencil is to always match its color with that of your hair and not your eyebrows. However, always remember to purchase a shade that is two shades lighter than your hair. For example, if you have dark brown hair, it is best to buy a medium brown shade eyebrow pencil.
  • After you have spotted the perfect eyebrow pencil for your brows, apply a little color on the back of your hand to check the exactness of the shade. Some cosmetics appear darker or lighter than the actual shade when applied. Testing the shade before buying will help you pick the right tone.
  • Just picking up the right shade isn’t enough to get that gorgeous pair of eyebrows. Correct application is equally important to avoid making a fashion disaster. For instance, if you have extremely light colored eyebrows as compared to your hair tone, remember to apply a light touch of mascara, before getting on with your eyebrow pencil.
  • Never use eyebrow pencil directly on your skin. Always use it on your eyebrows, over the original hair to reveal an authentic look. Application on the skin is a strict no-no.
  • Keep your pencil off the top end of your eyebrow. As the top arch is thinner than the rest of your brow, applying touch-ups in these areas may make your eyebrow appear all the more thick or clumsy. Use light strokes to accentuate the shape and underside of your brows, where the hair is thickest.
  • Never press your eyebrow pencil too hard on your skin, while doing the touch-ups. Doing so will create an unnatural look. Use swift upward motions during application and always apply as lightly as possible.
