Brows are like the frame of your face – they can completely transform and elevate your look. Whether you prefer them natural, bold, or sculpted, it’s very common to make a few mistakes along the way without even realizing it. The good news is that these mistakes are totally fixable! In this blog, we’ll highlight some of the most common brow blunders and share simple tips to help you perfect your brows and make them truly stand out.
We’ve all been there – just one more pluck or wax strip, and suddenly your brows are way thinner than you intended. Over-plucking or over-waxing can leave you with uneven brows, or worse, sparse patches.
How to Fix It:
Instead of striving for the perfect thin arch, try to follow your natural brow shape. Use a brow pencil or pen, like theMicroblade Flawless Feather Brow Pen, to fill in any gaps. If you need to tidy up, trim the stray hairs instead of plucking too much. This will help maintain your brow's natural fullness and shape.
Choosing a brow product that's too dark or too light can throw off the whole look. A shade that’s too dark can look harsh, while one that’s too light might make your brows fade away.
How to Fix It:
Pick a brow product that matches your natural brow color or is one shade lighter. If you prefer a softer look, go for a pencil that’s slightly lighter than your natural brows. Apply the product with light, feathery strokes to create a natural look without overdoing it.
Filling in your brows is absolutely fine, but over-filling them—especially with harsh strokes, can make them look unnatural and heavy.
How to Fix It:
Use light, feathery strokes to fill in your brows. Focus on filling in any sparse areas rather than drawing solid lines from start to finish. A pencil, pen, or powder that blends easily is ideal for a softer, natural look. Finish with a brow spoolie to blend the product for a more natural finish.
Not all brows are equal, and your face shape plays a huge role in detecting the right brow shape for you. For example, while a round face might benefit from more angular brows, a square face might look better with softer, rounded brows.
How to Fix It:
Take your face shape into consideration when shaping your brows. A round face looks great with a higher arch, while a square face may benefit from a more rounded shape. Experiment with different brow shapes to find the one that complements your natural features and looks the best on you.
Brows are a key feature of your face, and when done right, they can completely transform your look. By avoiding these common mistakes and following the simple fixes we’ve shared, you’ll be well on your way to achieving perfectly defined brows every time. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t get discouraged if your brows aren’t flawless at first. With the right techniques, you’ll soon have the brows you’ve always dreamed of!
