Model Brows For Non-Models
No – I’m not here to tell you that you can have Cara Delevingne’s brows because, well, you can’t. Neither can I. Neither can any of us… unless your good looks pay the bills and you lucked-out in the brow department.
But luckily for you, and me, the world of brow grooming goes way beyond brushes and pencils, and we’ve recently grown pretty fond of a little something called brow mascara. It’s nothing new, but if you’ve never tried it, you need it in your life. It’s pretty much (for lack of a better analogy) like a push-up bra for your brows.
Thicker brows will frame your face, make your eyes pop and shave a few years off your appearance.
The art is in the application, which is actually really easy, and quick enough to squeeze into your morning routine mid-latte.

The reality: thinner than I’d like, piecey and lacking shape.
Tip: your brows are naturally thicker at the start, so you want the least amount of product there.
Start at the middle, and brush the mascara through to the end.
Direct the hairs upwards and outwards. You want a bit of unruliness.
Angle the brush down and use it to pull the hairs upwards in the inner corners.
Fill-in any gaps with a pencil two shades lighter than your brow colour.
See? It was that easy.
