How To Get Thicker Eyebrows | Cosmetify

Unless you’re lucky enough have an Insta-worthy set of eyebrows like Cara Delavigne or Gigi Hadid (AKA the ultimate brow queens), achieving the perfect brow can feel like the most long-winded step in your makeup routine − especially if you are desperately trying to recover those over-plucked brows. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there before.

Brows have undoubtedly become the world’s hottest beauty craze over the last few years, and with every cult cosmetic brand releasing a handful of revolutionary brow products. From brow definers to sculpting gels, it can feel virtually impossible to find the right one for your arches. But rest assured, as there are some fantastic quick-fixes on offer for everyone, no matter your budget, so you can ensure your brows are looking bold and beautiful on the regular − and we're here to share the juice with you.

So follow our simple three-step guide to feel super confident with bushy brows that are totally on-trend.

1. Define your shape

Start by outlining the natural shape of your brow with a pencil that matches your hair colour (e.g. blonde, brown, dark brown). Then, lightly create small feather-like strokes from the tail of your eyebrow to mimic the look of eyebrow hairs − this is the secret to improving the appearance of sparse-looking brows.

2. Fill in the gaps

Next you need to add some definition and structure to your look to really achieve that bushy, bold brow. By using a touch of powder (that matches your natural hair colour) and a small-angled brow brush you can delicately fill in your brows to disguise any gaps. We recommend starting from the arch and moving down to the tail of your brow for the best effect.

Once you reach the front of your brow, it’s important to not go overboard with product, as this is where the eyebrow should look most natural. We find the easiest way to do this is by using your small-angled brow brush (without going back in with powder) and lightly fill in the hair using an upward motion, for an effortless effect.
