As any beauty aficionado knows, one wrong move of a brow gel or a too-heavy sweep of your pencil can wreck your entire look, making you have to start over. Filling in your brows isn’t easy. But the eyebrow hacks on TikTok have got your arch-grooming game covered. To help, Bustle has rounded up the most creative tips from creators like Desi Perkins, Krislyn Kuhn, Isabelle Lux, and more so you can level up your beauty routine.
From eyebrow mapping to outlining and using pomades, keep scrolling for a roundup of nine brow hacks from makeup-loving TikTokers that’ll have your arches looking totally full, fluffy, and on-point in no time. Be prepared to take some notes.
1Frame With Hair, Not Pencil
Creator Isabella Lux has shared a way to achieve a more natural look: Simply frame your brows with your own hairs instead of a pencil. First, bend your spoolie, dip it into your pomade for a bit of product, then brush your eyebrow hairs up. Then, instead of using a pencil to frame the bottom of the brow, use the tip of your spoolie to create a line with the bottom hairs, and fill in above that line.
2Use A Stencil To Keep Things Even
To ensure your brows look more like sisters than distant cousins, Perkins’ says to use the edge of an eyebrow stencil. This way, you can make sure they’re even and lined up with one another. After that, deposit a bit of powder at the front to give yourself a guide. Then, using the actual stencil, fill in your brows with powder, and use your favorite pencil to fill in any gaps and darken.
4Use Highlighter To Make Your Brows Pop
Once you’ve finished defining your eyebrows, makeup artist Logan Gabrielle suggests using a small brush to apply your favorite highlighter underneath the arch for a subtle pop (remember that a little goes a long way!).
6Use Eyeshadow & Micellar Water
For this hack, you’ll just need an eyeshadow shade that matches your brow hair and some micellar water. Creator SlayByJess uses a brush to tap the shadow to her brow for definition. She then goes in with micellar water and a cotton swab to clean up the edges to create the perfect, natural-looking shape.
7Connect The Dots
This TikToker uses dots as an eyebrow shaping guide. First, she creates a series of dots along the top and bottom of the eyebrow with a pencil, then connects them to create an outline before filling them in. Finish the look by brushing the hairs up with a spoolie and you’re good to go.
8Fluff With A Toothbrush
You don’t need a spoolie in order to achieve that laminated fluffed-up look. TikTok user Serena Lakkiss demonstrates how a toothbrush is just as useful as a brow-grooming tool. Simply dip it into your favorite pomade and go on brushing.
