How do you fill in your brows?

If you've over plucked your brows or naturally have sparse brows, chances are you either fill them in regularly or you've attempted it and been left mentally scarred by the crazy lady eyebrows you drew on.

Filling in your brows is a fine art.  It takes a light touch and a keen eye - you do not want to look like you've been attacked by a magic marker.  (Google 'baby eyebrows' for a giggle!) With so many options to choose from; pencils, crayons, powders, gels and mousses, with a bit of trial and error you're bound to find a method that you can master.  

So how does a lady fill in her eyebrows and up her brow game?  Here's our top tips:

  1. Ensure your brows are clean and dry.  You can't perfectly fill in brows that have foundation, BB cream or left over skincare products clinging to the hair. 
  2. Hold your pencil or brush vertically against the side of your nostril.  This is where your eyebrows should start.
  3. Hold your pencil or brush diagonally from your nostril to the outer corner of your eye.  Where the line intersects your eyebrow is where they should end.
  4. Stare straight at the mirror.  Your arch should begin level with the far edge of your iris, right on the brow bone.
  5. Brush your brows up using a spooly brush.  This will show you the areas that need filling in.
  6. If you're using a pencil - Use short, soft 'dashes'
  7. If you're using a powder - Apply lightly with an angled brush to sparse areas
  8. However you're filling them - use a shade close to your natural colour and aim for the lines to be 'barely there'.
  9. Use the spooly brush to blend the colours
  10. Set with a clear or coloured eyebrow gel.

We're putting Maybelline Brow Satin to the test - this fabulous product has us excited.  Here's why!  It's a first-of-its-kind gel pen (pen!) AND cream powder that blends seamlessly for your natural and fuller looking brows.  Two in one and easy to use!

So tell us - how do you fill in your eyebrows?  Are you a classic pencil or powder girl or do you use something different?  Why would you like to try the Brow Satin?  And of course - we'll need to know your shade.  If you made it on to this trial team, would you like to trial; Dark Blonde, Medium Brown or Dark Brown?

Always used a cream-gel but never a setting gel or anything.

Never tried powder, although I've been told they're better. I've been using pencil for years, easy to use and the only thing I must wear if I'm not wearing any other make up. Dark brown for me please!

I do love eyebrows. I think they make a whole load of difference to the face. I have been using a Natio brow colour and wax kit whitch I like but always love to try what's new out there for the brows

This product intrigues me! I think it would work really well for me as I use a powder and a pencil as I have black eyebrows so its hard to find products that look natural and not too fake.

I love eyebrow products as my eyebrows are practically non existent (white hairs on pale skin), I tend to switch between products quite often as I still haven't found a perfect way I like to do them but I always tend use pencils more often and always a blonde tinted brow gel to colour the hairs to the same colour that I just filled them in with. I can't go a day without filling in my brows so that is why I would like to try the brow satin in dark blonde, Thanks!!

Im currently using a powder to fill in my brows but it's just not working. Colour doesn't match and it doesn't fill it in for me :( I just don't want to spend all my money on one brow product. I think the dark brown brow satin might be the solotion for me

I need this so bad. It sounds so amazing I have tears that my eyebrows could finally be on point. I have a pen type thing that I use but it's a very fine line between not filled in enough or way to over filled it's ridiculous. I need help asap

I currently use pencil, but because my brows are so dark i am always scared of going too heavy handed and end up with those scary looking brows! Would love to try this product, would be a dark brown i think.

I tend not to fill my eyebrows as I can't find a product that looks natural. If I do need to doll myself up for a special occasion I will use a pencil using light strokes. I would like to try Brow Satin to test whether it works for me - Dark Brown will be my shade.
