How To Define Your Brows with Desiree Wise

Desiree Wise is an excellent makeup artist and one of our favourite girls to work with. Here she tames model Emily Green’s incredible brows into submission with nothing more than two eyebrow brushes, some powder and some hairspray.

Step 1. Brush your hairs down so you can see the natural line of the brow.

Step 2. Measure the end point of your brow by using another makeup brush and holding it from the outside of the eye.

Step 3. Measure the beginning of the brow by drawing an imaginary line from the outside nostril straight up to the inner corner of the eye.

Step 4. fill in the top line of the brow with a short angled brush.

Step 5. Brush the hairs up.

Step 6. Fill in the brows using short strokes up and outwards.

Step 7. Spray your eyebrow brush with hairspray.

Step 8. Brush them up and outwards.

And there you have it – tamed brows in minutes.

    Hi Georgia,
    The larger brow brush is an ‘alcone – dye brush’. A hard tooth brush would also do the same job (note: when using hair spray to set the brows, the brush will need to be washed with liquid soap or dishwashing liquid each day to remove hair spray build up)
    Mac do a good angle brush for applying the colour.

    Hi Georgia,
    Desiree also gave us some great tips about brow powders and brushes:

    "The brow brush is an ‘Alcone – Dye Brush’ a hard tooth brush would also do the same job (note: when using hair spray to set the brows, the brush will need to be washed with liquid soap or dishwashing liquid each day to remove hair spray build up)

    MAC do a good angle brush for applying the colour.

    Any strong hold setting spray will work.. I like Sebastian ‘re-shape’, redken ‘control addict 28’, and tigi

    I also used the Guerlain Brow Pallete (which contains 3 shades perfect for every brow, and a highlighter)… For the more serious Chanel Brow Palletes are also amazing (best when used with a wet brush) for invisible definition.."

    I am so worried about filling in my brows – that I will make them too dark – any tips for picking the right colour?

      Go by the hair on your head or two shades darker, is always a good start! X
