Quick Tip: Well-Behaved Full Brows

Save your money on that next eyebrow appointment. Perhaps you can achieve this look right at home: full and bold eyebrows are hot this season, but you don't have to embrace the monobrow to make a statement. Don't overpluck, accentuate their natural shape and fill in possible little flaws with a pencil or a matte eyeshadow.

Eyebrow comb: separates lashes and
keeps your eyebrows disciplined!

• How to keep eyebrows disciplined all day:

No need to get all fancy with an eyebrow gel. All you need is hairspray and either a toothbrush (I like to use one of those that come in airplane vanity bags or travel-size ones) or an eyebrow comb. Very simple: mist the hairspray onto the brush side of the eyebrow comb (or toothbrush) and while it's still fresh, brush your eyebrow upwards. With the comb side, draw an imaginary line down and outwards on top part of eyebrows. If you're using the toothbrush, just tilt brush sideways, kind of using it as a ruler.

• The Bold and The Beautiful

If you must use a pencil to correct minor flaws, use feather-like strokes instead of a line to fill them in. If pencil is not too sharp, even better. Don't be afraid to go one shade lighter than your natural eyebrow color, you're just filling them in and when it's too dark, it draws too much attention to that area, in a Frida Kahlo sort of way. Clearly delineated eyeliner: classy. Clearly delineated eyebrows: not classy at all.
