Nearly all of us have experienced a phase of bad brows, whether you've overplucked your brows your whole life or used a brow pencil that isn't even your colour. We are all victims in some way or another. So I am sure you can understand by now that your brows can truly make or break any makeup look. Therefore, it is important to groom with care. Whether you are a fan of using a brow gel, pencil or pressed powder, these tips and tricks can up your eyebrow game for your best brows yet.

Choosing the Right Shade

While this may sound obvious, making sure you are using the right brow shade for you allows you to achieve the ultimate no-makeup makeup look. Start by looking at your hair colour and following the general rule of choosing a brow product that is 1-2 shades lighter than your hair colour, or a blonde brow product for those with red hair. While you will be able to tell what colour complements your hair and skin tone, this is a simple way to filter down to the right match. The Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Colour Natural Eye Brow Pencil comes in a variety of shades so you can find the perfect pencil for you.

Brush Your Brows Down

Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish the natural shape of our brows. By brushing the hairs down with a clean spoolie brush, you can clearly see the shape of your brows and start the process from there. This method helps highlight any sparse areas that may require more attention when you go in with a product like the Lancome Sourcils Gel. With a gel-to-cream formula, this product is perfect for filling in gaps or re-drawing your preferred brow shape. However, don't forget to brush your brows up at the end!

The Natural Look

If you find yourself with an extra few minutes in the morning, creating a gradient can really elevate your brows. Start by using a lighter shade in the front of your brows, moving to a slightly darker shade towards the tail end. This creates a beautiful, natural brow look that appears less harsh than using only one colour. Having a product like the Youngblood Brow Artiste kit makes this process very easy. With two complementary shades of pressed powder and wax to set it in place, this kit contains everything you need to give this method a try.

Clear Brow Gel

Adding a clear brow gel into your eyebrow routine will improve the longevity of all your hard work. After using a pencil to fill in your brows, go over the hairs with a clear brow gel to set everything in place. Even if you are blessed with naturally full brows, using a clear gel helps add some control and creates much-needed definition. The Jane Iredale Pure Brow Gel comes in a clear formula to not only set your beautiful brows in place but nourish them at the same time.

Brow Enhancer

If your brows have fallen victim to some serious over-plucking, don't stress! Products such as the Bold Brows Eyebrow Enhancer are here to save the day. Purposefully formulated to restore your brows back to health, this enhancer contains strengthening vitamins, peptides and antioxidants. Improving the condition of your brows will go a long way when it comes to how you look with and without makeup. Thicker, fuller and healthier brows are just around the corner!

Neglecting your brows is not the way forward. When it comes to your makeup, choosing the right products for your makeup look is important. However, so is finding the right shade as this is crucial to help balance out your complexion. These helpful tricks will help you create the perfect eyebrow look, whatever the occasion.
