Choose your preferred formula for achieving the perfect brow fill. Our cult-favourite eyebrow fillers Brow Powder Duo, Perfect Brow Pencil, Brow Definer, DIPBROW® Pomade and DIPBROW® Gel make it easy to apply a seamless brow colour application on brows that have everything from sparse hair to full hair. Pair your favourite products from anastasia beverly hills brows collection with our essential eyebrow brushes Brush 7B, Brush 12 or Brush 14. When preparing to fill in the brow, use Brow Wiz® in a shade lighter than your natural hair color to map out the three points of the Golden Ratio® along the brow to serve as guide points. When detailing the brow, always apply Brow Wiz® in the same direction as hair’s natural growth. Use light pressure when applying. If you have oily skin, use toner around the brow area to create a clean, dry surface before applying.

Use this technique on sparse areas throughout the brow and blend using the spoolie for a natural finish.Start by outlining the under arch of the brow, moving toward the tail end, then blend using the spoolie. Outline the upper arch and blend using the spoolie. Use the fine tip to create hairlike strokes by applying light pressure and swiping in the direction of hair’s natural growth. Using the fine tip of the pencil, detail the front of the brow by creating hairlike strokes. Starting at the base of the front of the brow, press the tip down and pull up in the direction of hair’s natural growth. Use this technique throughout areas of sparseness. Continuously blend throughout application. Brow Freeze is one of Soare’s own personal favorites, and she uses it as the first step of her brow routine, before filling them in with any color. I tried this method and found that fluffing up my brows with Brow Freeze and giving them a bit of shape before applying any brow pencil or powder actually made it easier to see what areas of my brows needed to be filled in.

When pairing with other ABH brow products to fill your brow, choose the same shade in both products. For example, Brow Definer in shade Soft Brown and Brow Pen in shade Soft Brown. Purpose: Ideal for anyone with medium to full brows that doesn’t require a Fill step and/or a makeup minimalist. Layer different shades of ABH brow products to create natural-looking, multidimensional brows. First, fill in the brow with a lighter shade of Brow Powder Duo using Brush 7B. Then, detail the brow with tiny hairlike strokes using a deeper shade Brow Wiz®. The last product that we didn’t love is the Pro Pencil, a concealer pencil that can be used to highlight your brow bone, clean up the outline of your brows after filling them in or brighten dark circles. All of the testers found it difficult to blend, and the shade range (it comes in three colors) did not go deep enough for darker skin tones. We concluded that if you want to highlight your brow look, it’s better to reach for an actual highlighter, and if you want to conceal, a cream concealer will give a more natural effect.

About

On the other hand, the Brow Powder Duo allowed for much softer application, but less precision overall. “Although it was buildable, it was hard to get those natural-looking strokes with a powder formula versus a pencil,” says Griffin. Furthermore, we had mixed feelings about the two-tone pigment. While it includes a lighter and darker shade so you can create dimension for your brow, none of the testers felt confident enough with the product to try the ombré effect.

Remember all products are highly pigmented, so little pressure is required.
