Steps
Look at your bare brows in a mirror in daylight and note the shape they already grow in. Work with that shape rather than copying a brow you saw on someone else.
Find the start. Hold a pencil straight up from the inner corner of your nose. Where it meets your brow is where the brow should begin, so mark it lightly.
Find the arch. Angle the pencil from the tip of your nose past the outer edge of your iris. That point is the highest part of the brow.
Find the end. Angle the pencil from the nose tip past the outer corner of your eye. Your brow should finish on that line.
Draw the underside line first with short, light strokes from start to end, then soften the top edge. Keep the outline inside your natural hair growth.
Fill the sparse areas with short flicks in the direction the hairs grow. Press lighter at the front of the brow and slightly firmer at the arch and tail.
Look straight into the mirror and compare both brows. Add tiny strokes to the lighter one to even them out instead of redrawing the whole shape.
Pick up a little concealer on a small flat or angled brush and trace a thin line under and above the brow edge. Blend it outward with a fluffy brush.
Dust translucent powder over the concealer with a light hand to lock it in place and stop it creasing.
Brush the brow hairs up and outward with brow gel to set the shape and blend the pencil strokes into the hair.
Tips and common mistakes
Brush your brows up with a spoolie before you start so you can see the gaps you actually need to fill.
Use a sharp pencil and light pressure, because a blunt tip and a heavy hand are what make brows look blocky and square.
Check the finished result in daylight near a window, since indoor lighting hides how dark the pencil really looks.
Wash your brushes and spoolie once a week to keep them clean, especially if you share makeup with anyone.
Questions
My eyebrows are uneven. Should I draw them the same?
No. Follow each brow's own natural shape and only add small strokes to the thinner or lower side. Trying to force both brows identical usually makes the difference more obvious.
Should I use a pencil or powder?
A pencil is easier for beginners because it lets you draw fine hair-like strokes and control where the colour lands. Powder works better as a soft top-up over pencil on sparse patches.
How do I stop my brows looking too dark?
Go in with light strokes and build the colour slowly, keeping the front of the brow softest. If you overshoot, run a spoolie through the hairs to lift excess product.
