Long Hair Eyebrows - Eyebrows can be a woman’s natural beauty asset. They frame the eyes, and add expression to the face. However, if your eyebrows are sparse or very fair they might not be adding anything to your features, in which case you might want to consider adding shape, colour and definition using an eyebrow shading product. There are a variety of products to choose from on the market, most of which come in powder or pencil form, although it’s worth noting that if your eyebrows are very sparse, powder might not work as well as a pencil because it needs hair to adhere to.



When shading your eyebrows, choose a brow powder or pencil close to your natural hair colour, or a shade or two darker. Don’t be tempted to choose a colour that’s several shades darker than your natural colour as this will make your eyebrows look false. Use short, light strokes to pencil or brush on the colour in between the hairs: use the colour to shade and not draw as this way you will achieve a natural effect. Apply more pressure on the pencil or brush where you want stronger definition.

A magnifying mirror will help when shading your eyebrows; however, remember to check your overall facial appearance during shading, as concentrating on each eyebrow individually might leave your face looking a little asymmetrical! Some people prefer to use a stencil as a guide instead of adopting a free hand approach; the stencil is placed in position over the eyebrow and then colour applied in the exposed area. There’s also a range of “celebrity” eyebrow stencil kits, so if you’ve always wanted the same eyebrows as Kylie Minogue, now’s your chance!
