1 Eyebrow Mascara, 3 Different Looks

It’s official: Eyebrows are in. This is one beauty trend that isn’t going to die anytime soon, which means it’s about time you learned how to achieve gorgeous arches on your own. You may not think that eyebrow makeup is the easiest to apply—sometimes it can be as challenging as liquid eyeliner—but it’s well worth taking the time to learn how when you consider the transformative ability of good-looking eyebrows. Seriously, the perfect pair of eyebrows can totally change your face! If you’re ready to learn how to use makeup on your eyebrows but don’t want to attempt anything too complicated, let us point you in the direction of an eyebrow mascara. You’re already an expert at applying regular ol’ mascara, and this isn’t much different. Brush it on and your eyebrows will look groomed instantly. We won’t even ask if that sounds appealing—we know it does! You can find out how to use our best eyebrow mascara in three different ways below. Plus, stick around for a helpful guide on using other eyebrow makeup.

HOW TO USE OUR EYEBROW MASCARA

Ready to get started? You’ll need the L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Boost & Set Brow Mascara. The gel mousse formula easily glides on to eyebrows to boost volume and set for a natural to thicker look. Plus, it offers all day wear! Here’s how to use it.

1. THE NATURAL LOOK

Apply our eyebrow mascara in the shade that is closest to your natural eyebrows, using short, upward strokes.

2. THE BOY LOOK

Apply our eyebrow mascara in the clear shade, using upward and inward strokes to tousle hairs. 

3. THE DEFINED LOOK

First, fill in your eyebrows and define your arch using the L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Definer. Then, set your eyebrows with our eyebrow mascara in the clear shade.

HOW TO USE EVERY KIND OF EYEBROW MAKEUP

Once you’ve mastered eyebrow mascara, you might figure you have all the others on lock, but that isn’t quite how it works. They’re all different! In case you want to branch out—or combine your eyebrow mascara with another product—here’s a refresher on how to use the rest of our most popular types of eyebrow makeup.

Eyebrow pencil: Eyebrow pencils are a classic for a reason. Not only are they easy, but they give you lots of control. With the L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Shape & Fill Mechanical Pencil, all you have to do is outline with the edge for precise lines and shade with the flat side for even coverage, then use the tip of the pencil to define the tail.

Eyebrow crayon: If you’re interested in a softer-looking eyebrow (don’t worry, it can still be bold), opt for the L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Kabuki Blender. Fill in eyebrows using the tip of the crayon and build to your desired intensity before blending with the kabuki blending brush.

Eyebrow pomade: Pomades aren’t only for your hair. The L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Frame and Set is a waterproof pomade that’s meant for your eyebrows. To use it, dip the brush lightly into the pomade. Outline your eyebrow and define the arch. Draw in eyebrow hairs in sparse areas with the brush's angled tip and fill in to your desired intensity. Use the spoolie to comb and blend your eyebrows.

Eyebrow highlighter: One of the most important areas on your face to illuminate is beneath your eyebrows. While you can use the same highlighter that tops your cheekbones, there are also products just for your eyebrows. The L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Brow Raiser Highlighter Duo comes with two shades, one to highlight and another to conceal. After filling in your eyebrows, trace the concealer around the edges to define and sharpen your eyebrow shape. Apply the highlighter above and below the eyebrow arch, then blend for a natural finish.
