Eyebrows framed the face and applying a good eyebrow product with the right technique can do wonders.
Pencil - is the quickest way of using an eyebrow product. It's precise and you can go wrong with it. Finding a good eyebrow pencil can be quite tricky as some pencils don't have a great colour payoff. I've tried a Rimmel eyebrow pencil once, where there weren't any colour payoff to the point where I hurt the back of my hand (maybe stop swatching the first time where you can there is no colour payoff?) .
Two of my favourite eyebrow pencils are of course the raved about Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in medium brown and Soap & Glory Achery in brunette. Which are quite similar, the Soap & Glory pencil is a little darker and gives a bit more colour payoff.
I would like to try the Tom Ford eyebrow pencil as that also has been raved about.
I remember when I was younger being recommend to use a black eyebrow pencil and did buy a Chanel one (huge mistake, I looked like a clown). I've learned that as darkskinned, you shouldn't use a black eyebrow pencil but a brown shade (cool or warm tone depending on your undertone).
Powder - gives the most natural look in my opinion. Applying eyebrow powder to make it look natural took me quite a while as it can be quite messy. I use eyebrow powder when I have loads of time to apply makeup. The one and only eyebrow powder I've used is Mac eyeshadow in Espresso and I apply with The Body Shop angled brush.
Gel - as well as the powder this also takes time to perfect in my opinion. A gel last longer and if you have and oily face similar to mine, this will last a long time. Unfortunately I picked up a dark shade of gel and applying it with the lightest hand, it ends up looking acceptable. I've been using Mac Fluidline Brow Gelcreme in deep dark brunette. I've been eyeing up the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow pomade.
If you want something quick and easy go for a eyebrow pencil.
If you want something natural and have a decent amount of time go for a powder.
If you want something that won't budge go a gelcreme.
I have to say that when applying eyebrow products I don't follow any guidelines, I'll look at myself and fill them out to look natural. Remember that eyebrows aren't identical (well mine aren't) and filling them out to look perfectly identical is not a must.
