Here’s How to Fix the Eyebrow Mistake You Just Made

TIP 2: Use a Spoolie

Brushing out your brows is a good way to get that natural shape and texture back. To make things easy, choose a brow product that comes with a brush or spoolie, like the NYX Professional Makeup Fill & Fluff Eyebrow Pomade Pencil or the L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Definer. If you don't have a spoolie or brow brush to groom your brows, Sir John suggests using a clean toothbrush instead. 

After you've removed unwanted product, gently brush your brows upwards with the soft bristles of the spoolie or toothbrush. 

TIP 3: Know When to Stop

The key to curbing the common case of overdone brows is knowing when to stop. Sir John suggests being light-handed with product on the inner part of the brow (towards the center of the face). "That part should look natural and not heavily colored in," he explains. "In general, you should always be able to see the individual hairs on your eyebrows. You shouldn't fill in your brows to the point of looking painted on."
