  1. Using a non-oil based cleanser or witch hazel, wipe your eyebrows using cotton rounds to remove any oils from your eyebrows and help them stay flat. [1]
  2. (Optional) After cleaning your eyebrows, you want to brush them up so they lie better when being glued down. This is recommended for thicker eyebrows to get maximum coverage. [2]

  3. Rub your glue stick in the opposite direction of hair growth, to coat all the brow hairs. Then apply glue in an upward motion, since this is the direction you want the brows to be in before the next step. [3]
    • Before you apply the glue, you may want to do a patch test on a bit of your skin to confirm you don’t have any allergic reactions.
  4. (Optional) Add another layer of glue to ensure the base of your layering process is as flat as possible. Spoolie the brows upwards to reinforce that shape and direction if needed. This is recommended for thicker eyebrows. [4]
  5. Once the glue is dried apply the translucent powder with the beauty blender, by patting it all around the sticky area, until fully covered.
  6. Glue your eyebrows up then apply translucent powder to your eyebrows until they are flat and hair is barely visible. It's recommended to repeat these steps 2-3 times or until your eyebrows feel flat and stiff. (Repeat the steps until you're satisfied with the amount of coverage).
  7. Blend your concealer on top of the covered brows and blend out until the powder isn't visible anymore. Building layers of concealer to help with coverage is recommended for thicker eyebrows.
  8. Apply another layer of translucent powder on top of the concealer to set the covered brows.
