BROW INSPIRATION

TUTORIAL + PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMY NADINE, GRAPHIC DESIGN BY EUNICE CHUN

This is what you’re going to love about this brow: it’s defined, but you can still see skin behind the hairs. A departure from the stenciled-looking brows that everyone was rocking last year. How do you achieve this? You line the perimeter lightly but instead of filling it in with shadow or pencil strokes, you use a tinted brow gel to darken the hairs while leaving the background skin bare. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me! Here’s how to do it yourself:

TOOLS:

• A Brow Pencil — I used this fine-point pencil ($$) in Medium Ash on Leah but you can also use a slanted-point pencil ($$). I also love this budget-friendly brow pencil ($).
• A Tinted Brow Gel — I used this lightly metallic tinted brow gel ($$) but you can also use this tinted brow gel ($$) or this one ($).

For my avid makeup mavens, this is the eye shadow quad ($$) I used on Leah and this is the lash strip ($$) I used.
