Read More1. Using your favorite foundation add a tiny drop of a foundation that’s three shades darker to just warm up your skin a bit. It adds a touch of warmth and color without being too much.
2. Filling in your brows frames your eyes , gives a very polished look. When hair is very light you can look incredibly washed out with pale brows. Using a taupe shade of a brow pencil or a shadow, gives a soft subtle touch that will definitely accentuate your eyes.

It’s important to note that before attempting to do your brows on your own, the skin needs to be plain, clean, and particularly warm. Taking a warm shower or using a warm washcloth is advised because with warm skin comes open pores, so the pain usually inhibited while doing your brows is minimized entirely.

The skin should be free of any product, oil, or cream, which may, in turn, result in irritation of the skin or over/under plucking in areas in which they do not need to be plucked. I would recommend a good micellar water to ensure the skin is clean before starting into your brows.
