How to have beautiful big brows: Copy Beyonce’s Look!

The recession may have meant people have had to cut back, but one area there’s no need to skimp is in the eyebrow department. Big brows are back with a vengeance with everyone from runway models to celebrities channeling the look- somewhere between monobrow and a bushy ponytail. Think Brooke Shields when she was younger and you’ll know just what I’m getting at. But how do you get that lustrous thick look- especially if you’ve over plucked slightly? We show you how.

Step One: Tweeze

Tweeze, you cry! How can you get huge brows if you remove hairs? Well, you can STILL have big brows if you tweeze- it’s all about being big and groomed not Escape of the Loch Ness Monster. Make sure you use a quality pair like one from Tweezerman to remove all the stray hairs from the centre, and any ones that fall really far below the brows.

Step Two: Style

Using a good quality wax or gel such as Benefit Cosmetics Qucik Speed Brow gel, run it through the eyebrow hairs to make sure they’re all going in the same direction.  Be sure to apply the product evenly through the hairs and to use a brush to tidy them up, as you want to be as groomed as possible.

Step Three: Colour

Choose a colour that matches your eyebrow hair very closely, or a shade darker if you’re going for more drama. Using an applicator lightly coat the brows with the colour, and again, make sure that you sweep it on in one direction for added symmetry.

Step Four: Fill

You’ve used colour on the brows with shadow, but now you want to create the illusion of thickness. Do this with a pencil (like this one), and make small lines in the brow area, sketching in more hair for that thick look you’re after. It’s OK to be imprecise as drama is the buzzword here, just make sure to blend afterwards.
