The Perfect Brushes For Your Dream Eyebrows

We’re talking the editorial dense but-not-too-heavy brow. For a full and feathering brow, Fiona Stiles suggests grabbing a bigger brow brush. “When I do a brow like this I use a large, soft, and wide brow brush so that it deposits the powder softly,” explains Stiles. “This isn’t about a hard, chiseled brow, it’s about the illusion of youth and effortlessness.”

This type of brow has a clear shape and form. Like the famous brows of Kendall Jenner and Zendaya, it’s all about precision. “For this I would use a smaller, narrower, and stiffer brush so that I can create more of a defined edge,” says Stiles. Stiles also notes that this is “the most commonly available brow brush size/shape.”

For those with sparse brows, it’s important to create an illusion. "I’ll turn to a cake liquid liner and a thin eyelining brush, and draw in the missing spaces hair by hair with what is essentially a water color,” says Stiles. Stiles also preaches the benefits of a tiny eyeliner brush.

You’ve seen this brow on your favorite beauty vloggers and Instagram models alike. “For that blocked-in brow that is popular on Instagram I would use a smaller concealer brush, preferably with slightly rounded edges, to create the shape,” said Stiles. “Then the same type of brush to run concealer or foundation along the underside of the brow to make the line very sharp.” Take notes from a pro and go for a concealer that’s a similar shade to your skin instead of a shade lighter for a defined but more natural brow.
