Beauty fan details her 3-step routine for filling in sparse brows – her $10 ‘glue’ & brush trick gives her a fuller look
A BEAUTY guru has revealed her must-try routine for achieving the illusion of fuller eyebrows.
She recommended using budget-friendly makeup products for the best results.
She took to Reddit’s Makeup Addiction forum in response to a user asking for tips to fill their “sparse” brows.
BEAUTIFUL BROWS
Posting under the handle Tabortot96, the Redditor shared the 3-step routine that has worked wonders for her.
“Your brows are a great shape!” she said.
“To fill in my sparse brows, I start with the NYX brow glue and brush backward through the hairs before brushing them the correct way.
“That way I am able to get a fuller look and the hairs are completely coated with glue so they will actually stick together and last all day.”
NYX Professional Makeup Brow Glue Eyebrow Gel costs $9.99 at Target.
It is sold in five colors and has been formulated to hold brow hairs in place for up to 16 hours.
Delighted customers have given it a whopping 4.3-star rating out of a possible 5.
The beauty enthusiast revealed how she achieves her desired look after applying the product.
“When they’re tacky and still drying, I use a Q-tip to wipe any excess glue around the perimeter otherwise the brow pencil/eyeshadow won’t work and I use my finger to gently press the brows down on my face,” she said.
“Then I either use the NYX micro brow pencil to fill in the gaps, or I use the angled brow brush from Anastasia Beverly Hills with a brown eyeshadow if I want a super natural look.”
NYX Professional Makeup Vegan Micro Eyebrow Pencil is available from Target for $10.99.
One customer penned a review saying it’s their “go-to” brow pencil, while another described it as “easy” to use.
It has a 4.6-star rating out of 5.
