“I’m a professional makeup artist and here are 4 common mistakes to avoid when doing eyebrow makeup”

In a face, eyebrows do a lot, especially when it comes to the eyes. A perfectly drawn line will enhance the latter, giving it depth and radiance. On the contrary, sparse or too thick eyebrows can ruin your look. In a press release from cosmetics brand Rosegold, professional makeup artist Shirel Bouhnik-Pasi discusses the four common steps to avoid when applying eyebrow makeup.

1/ Apply moisturizer to eyebrows before applying makeup

“Moisturizer is an oily product that can prevent pigments from adhering properly to the brows, which can lead to fading throughout the day. For makeup that lasts, it is best to avoid moisturizing the eyebrows before application and to choose makeup products designed to provide good hold. explains Shirel Bouhnik-Pasi.

2/ Choosing the wrong shade

A shade that is too dark can weigh down the look. Conversely, a shade that is too light may dull your complexion. To avoid these mistakes, Shirel Bouhnik-Pasi recommends selecting the shade as close as possible to the natural color of your hair. If you can’t find the right color, don’t hesitate to mix two shades to create the “ideal shade”.

3/ Thicken or modify the shape of your eyebrows

Don’t be too heavy handed when applying makeup. If you use too much product, you risk thickening your brows or changing their natural shape. Apply it lightly to maintain balance and harmony of the look.

4/ Drawing lines that are too clear

For a more natural effect, avoid too sharp, too defined lines. Choose products that allow for easy blending and blend the contours for a softer, more natural appearance.
