what to do

today's video is a highly requested
video on a step-by-step tutorial of all
the steps you take to get a perfect brow
on mature skin because as we get older
it's a lot different to applying an
eyebrow than it was when we were younger
and the reason is because our skin is
more loose so when you're applying your
eyebrows there's more movement in our
skin and many of us have had over
plucked eyebrows when we were young and
that hair didn't grow back the first
thing you do is to grab a spoolie on the
end of your eyebrow pencil and brush
your eyebrows upwards and the reason we
do that is so that we can catch the
hairs that go above where you'd like
your eyebrows to finish and then you
take a pair of scissors a little pair of
scissors and you gently cut the hairs
that go above where you'd like that line
to be so this doesn't apply to everybody
but this is a step for the people who
have long or wiry
eyebrows and it makes a huge difference
when you trim them because it gives your
eyebrow a more uniform look another step
you can take is to trim all the fine
hairs above and below your brow with a
blade this just smooths out all the fine
hairs that really annoy you and it gives
you a smoother surface and it's a great
alternative to waxing as well because it
doesn't pull on
skin once you've done that brush your
eyebrows up again
and then we're going to start applying
the eyebrow pencil there's a formula for
applying your eyebrow pencil so you put
your eyebrow pencil at the corner of
your nose and the corner of your eye
that's your first point the second point
is from the corner of your nose to the
center of your eye you make a dot there
that's your second point and the third
point is from the corner of your nose to
the outer corner of your eye these three
points here indicate where you start the
middle and the finish now that you've
got those three points you'll probably
find that your natural eyebrow fits
somewhere in between that and these dots
here are going to be where we expand our
eyebrow to starting at this part of our
eyebrow we're going to use feather
strokes to fill in the gap the reason
I'm using soft feather strokes here in
this area is because it gives a much
softer look
and on mature women this look is so much
nicer than the heavy look and I'm going
to show you the heavier look in a moment
so you can compare but you do very soft
lines and don't fill in the gaps and
then when you get to the hair on your
brow you just gently fill that in and
you'll see the dot in the middle you go
up and that's where you form a gentle
arch so the peak of your eyebrow is
where that dot is and from that dot we
just go down to the last dot and that's
the tail of your eyebrow and you just
gently feel it in when you've done that
you brush it up again with your spoolie
and fill in all the gaps and you do this
on both sides now here is a comparison
when I'm coloring in the inner part of
my eyebrow and I'm being very
heavy-handed which is what sometimes we
think to do because we're
just gotta fill in all those gaps but it
gives us a very very harsh look and we
don't want that look as we're getting
older we won our look to be soft and
natural in comparison to what I've just
done here with the soft feather strokes
this is what it looks like when you fill
in all the gaps and you kind of color in
that area it's too harsh and it's too
overwhelming and it doesn't suit older
woman's with the exception of women who
have very strong eyebrows already and
very strong cheekbones it can look
fantastic on those women but I think
that's more the exception than the rule
and also on this look here I've used a
color that is one shade too dark for me
and it's so subtle
it's just a subtle difference like you
can see the two colors here but the
lighter shade I've used on my eyebrows
is more harmonious with my colorings and
the other one although it has a little
bit of warmth in it and I have warmth in
my skin it's just too strong for the
coloring of my skin and my hair and in
this example I've used the right color
eyebrow pencil but I haven't used the
dot system I've just filled in the hair
that I have and I've just gone over that
to make it a little bit darker you can
see by bringing the eyebrow into those
dot points which is harmonious for my
face it opens my eyes up and it gives
nice face more symmetry with this
example I really hope you can see that
tiny tweak in your application can make
a big difference to the end result the
final step in creating a great eyebrow
is to apply a gel to set the eyebrow so
that they don't move and when you brush
your eyebrows up with the gel it sets
them and you can notice the real hairs
that you do have even more so it looks
more natural and they won't move the
dupe for using an eyebrow gel is to
spray hairspray on your story and it
does pretty much the same thing and it's
kind of free so you can try that first
and if you love that you could buy a gel
I really hope that I was able to provide
some clarity for you to show you how to
apply great eyebrows to your beautiful
mature eyes and if we've got a nice
defined eyebrow it really helps liven up
our face please give a thumbs up if you
