    What if I can't afford brow gel?
    Community Answer
    Use petroleum jelly instead. It is more affordable but will keep your eyebrows in place.
  • Question
    Can I use eyebrow pencil on my eyes?
    Community Answer
    Yes, and it will definitely be more subtle than regular black pencils. I would warn you that the consistency will not be exactly the same as normal eyeliner.
  • Question
    How can I fix my eyebrows when one looks sharp and the other a little low?
    Community Answer
    Put foundation on one eyebrow, and shape it into what the other brow looks like.
  • Question
    I saw this girl filling her eyebrows in the restroom at the mall and I think I saw her using an eyebrow pencil and an angled brush. Is that okay?
    Community Answer
    Yes; this article showed both of these options.
  • Question
    How do I use a lash curler if my lashes are short?

    Try using your hair dryer on the hot setting to heat up you lash curler. Curl your lashes as you normally would, starting at the roots of your lashes and slowly make you way to the tips, pumping the curler as you go. Choose a mascara that holds a good curl. If you're willing to invest, Benefit Roller Lash mascara ($24) is by far the best mascara I've ever tried. It creates and holds a curl for several hours if you don't use a lash curler. At night when you take off your makeup, put coconut oil or Vaseline on your lashes and lash roots. This will prevent them from breaking and falling out. This will also promote lash growth.

    What if you don't have a brow wax?
    Community Answer
    That's fine, it's not a mandatory step. You can always buy some if you want to use it in the future. You could also try hair gel or coconut oil.
  • Question
    I cannot keep a sharp eyebrow pencil. They break off, and it seems I'm wasting my money, as more ends up in trash than on my brows. What is best to use that will last?

    Try tinted brow mascaras on normal days, clear brow mascara for lazy days, and for special occasions, brow pomade (ABH Brow Wiz is good, or look around BenefitCosmetics.com, they are the brow royalty). The mascaras come with mini spooly brushes and brow gels require an angled brush; no pencils or sharpening involved.
  • Question
    Why is it so confusing?
    Community Answer
    It's not, really. This article is very thorough. You could just use a sharp pencil and use short strokes to fill in your brows.

    How do I draw an eyebrow?

    Tape under and over your eye to make the shape of your eyebrow.

    You use a pencil to draw on the brows how you want. Same with powder brow products.
  • Question
    I always find it difficult to get that beautiful faint brow at the start of a brow and I don't know how to use a concealer pencil. Any advice?

    Try using a tinted brow gel at the start of the brow to get that nice ombre. If you don't want to get another brow product, just do your brows how you normally would, take a clean spooly brush and run it through the beginning of your brows.
  • Question
    Which looks more natural, pencil or brow powder?
    Community Answer
    Pencil is more natural and it is more 3D. Brow powder may make your eyebrows look flat and fake.

    You just need to know the shape you want for your eyebrow and use a shaper to achieve it. Take your time and use an eyebrow pencil if you need to.
  • Question
    I have overtweezed my eyebrows over the years. They were joined in the middle. How can I grow them back? There's too much of a gap now.

    There isn't really a way to grow them again, so maybe you can tattoo them on or just use a brow pencil like in this article to draw them in. Check Instagram or YouTube for more tutorials.
