Tutorial: eyebrow refresh.
I've been meaning to do this, for a while now, but just needed to wait until Vicky was ready for new eyebrows.
I work with her head on a towel, resting face-up, held between my thighs; doing this allows me to move and turn the head as I need and helps keep my hand steady. Tools you will need; Eyeshadow Applicator sponges Small flat brush Stencil Acrylic paint Cotton buds Baby oil Kitchen roll Colours: I will be creating brown eyebrows so, I'm using a medium brown eyeshadow for the 'base' and a darker brown acrylic paint (burnt umber) for the 'hair.' I try to keep the shades close. For black, I would use a medium smokey grey eyeshadow for the base then a black or dark grey acrylic for the hair. Prep: I prepare the area by wiping with baby oil and cotton buds but, if there is still some previous brow left, I will be careful not to completely remove it. Once oil cleaned, I pat dry the area with a little kitchen towel. Laying the base: Holding the stencil in place with a finger and thumb of one hand, I load the applicator sponge with eyeshadow with the other. Then, starting at the narrow end of the stencil, I make short strokes and fade my way to the wider end. Then I make a single pass from the narrow end, to smooth out. I only load the sponge with eyeshadow once. |

Shaping:
Now there is an eyebrow, it's time to give it some shape. Using cotton buds that have been dipped in baby oil, I wipe the edges of the brow and carefully shape it. Once I'm happy with it, I use a clean baby oiled cotton bud and clean up the area then pat dry with some kitchen towel. |

Loading the brush:
For creating the hair, I have a little of the acrylic paint on some kitchen towel. I dip the brush into it, then wipe the brush on the kitchen towel. I will do this a few times to shape the brush into a crisp flat edge and remove any excess paint. |

Creating the hair:
Using the sharp edge of the brush, I begin adding a few short lines following the directions of the arrows in the illustration, working from the underside of the brow to the top, I increase the length of each line as they angle until I reach the end. I repeat this until I've taken care of filling in any big gaps. Later on, I'll finish up with a few extra strokes to fill in and finalise then call it a job done. Just remember to take your time but be quick with the brush, unless you want wavy eyebrows. And, if you end up with a mess, it's easily cleaned up ready for another try. eco |
