Winter can be rough on all of us, but our eyebrows can take the worst beating from it. Keeping your eyebrows looking amazing all winter can be tough, but if you know these hacks, you’ll be able to keep them in perfect condition! Whether you want Cara Delevingne, Eugene Levy or Marilyn Monroe eyebrows, these will hep you get the perfect ones, even in winter.
This can be tough, especially for those who have a strict routine with their eyebrows. But if you are trying to get fuller looking eyelashes, the most natural way to do it is letting them grow. Not plucking, or waxing them for while may feel unnatural but if you overcorrected in the past, or want to try a fuller look you’ll have to let them grow. Winter is a perfect time to let those brows grow, throw on a beanie and no one will even notice.
This may seem weird, but like the hair on your head, if you want them to grow you need to hydrate and nourish the skin underneath. Vaseline is a great option that will help hydrate the area, especially with all the waxing and plucking, your skin will need a little love to help it grow and as well as keeping them looking amazing. With as dry as skin gets in winter, you may need to do this more often than usual, to make sure they stay moisturized.
If you are really desperate to getting your eyebrows to grow, use a growth serum to boost the process. Like the Vaseline it will help make it grow faster but also thicken the hair themselves. This is perfect for those wanting thicker and darker eyebrows.
This is perfect for those who want to tame their eyebrows without trimming. Eyebrow gel is similar to hair gel in that its cults the hair to where you want it, keeping them in place so you know once you shape them it will stay that way. These can come in clear so anyone can use them or you can buy it to match your desired eyebrow color. Especially with throwing on hats and ear warmers, your eyebrows are bound to get messed up at some point, so an eyebrow gel is the perfect solution to keeping your brows perfect.
I have never been one to pluck or wax my eyebrows. In fact, I’ve never had either done, I’ll shape them a little but I’ve never had them professionally done. This is basically the only thing I do to really take care of them.
Like your hair you should brush your eyebrows. This will help them grow, but also keep them looking well kept. Almost any drug store will have an eyebrow brush, using this before you put on any makeup to make sure they’re clean and in the place you want will keep them looking good. It’s also important to brush them when taking off your makeup to get out all of the makeup so that it doesn’t build up and break you out. Nothing could be worse than an eyebrow zit.
Eyebrow pencils are perfect for a lighter coloring in than a gel. You can really customize if you want to really darken them or just add in a little color. These are good for creating the shape you want as well, so you can always go back with a darker gel or darken in with another eyebrow pencil.
If you are someone who really colors in and shapes their eyebrows to perfection, you already know this. But adding in concealer under your eyebrows will give it a more definitive look, covering up any unwanted eyebrow color residue. Doing this will create a cleaner look and if you love the look of a full face of makeup, adding concealer will top off your entire look.
As much as everyone loves to do their eyebrows, keeping as much of it as natural as possible will save you so much time, and who doesn’t want more time in winter. The more makeup you put on your brows the more time you’ll have to invest in doing your makeup, and a few extra minutes of sleep in winter is vital. Picking something easy like a clear eyebrow gel to throw on or just darkening for when you’re doing a full blown makeup for a night out will save you time. Your brows can easily get messed up in winter with all the crazy weather, so opt for the most natural look to save yourself from fighting with your brows all day.
Getting your eyebrows done by a professional will set you back more than just doing it yourself, but you’ll be happy you had a pro do it. If you have it done professionally, the results will last longer, saving you from having to do it all the time. You’ll also have a bee to go off of, especially if you are someone like me who never has had them done. This is a good starting point and when you start to see some regrowth you don’t want, then you can pluck it yourself. But it’s best to let the pros do it first.
When shaping your eyebrows, use a stencil or a shaper to help guide you so your eyebrows don’t look uneven. Theres nothing worse than shaping one and it looks amazing but not being able to repeat it on the other. Eyebrow shapers can be found at any drug store or makeup store for fairly cheap. You can also use a spoon or other rounded items to get your desired shape. This will save you time and frustration.
