How can you choose the best eyebrow shadow? We will tell you how!
Eyebrow powder helps you to quickly, easily and effectively conjure up bold yet natural looking eyebrows that beautifully frame your entire face. Have you tried it yet?
Why choose eyebrow powder, the so-called eyebrow shadow?
- A good eyebrow powder is ideal for highlighting light or sparse eyebrows.
- It creates a natural effect without sharp colour transitions, so you can easily conjure up a "nude" make-up look.
- The simple and quick application doesn’t require high precision, which makes it perfect for beginners. You can also get eyebrow powder with a template to make your job even easier.
- It's easy to blend and correct during application, it is also easily removed.
- Waterproof eyebrow shadow can withstand a workout or a day by the water.
Eyebrow powder is especially suitable for eyebrows that are already shaped to your liking and just need filling in and highlighting. If you want to change your eyebrows significantly with makeup and draw for example the inner or outer end of your eyebrows outside the hairs, then you should choose an eyebrow pencil or pomade. The powder doesn’t last on hair-free skin for very long.
The best eyebrow powder: How to choose the right shade
Shade
For brunettes, powder 1–2 shades lighter than their hair colour is ideal. Blondes can opt for one that is 1–2 shades darker. If your hair is dyed, it's ideal to try a shade based on your original colour as well as your current colour - you'll see which suits you better. It will depend mainly on your skin tone.
Most products have shade names to make it easier for you to choose. That way you can easily find:
- Blonde eyebrow powder intended specifically for blondes.
- Light brown eyebrow powder can be suitable for blonde or light brown hair.
- Dark brown eyebrow powder is ideal for dark brown hair.
- Black eyebrow powder is the clear choice for women with black hair.
Tip: Grey eyebrow powder is one of the latest trends and it is said that it suits absolutely anyone.
Undertone
For a natural effect, you also need to pay attention to the colour undertone. Warm colours are good for yellow and orange tones, cold colours go with pink and grey.
- Warm undertone eyebrow powder is suitable for honey, red and chestnut hair shades.
- Cold undertone eyebrow powder is ideal for platinum blonde, cool brown and black hair.
If your hair is somewhere in between and you’re not sure of the undertone, opt for a cold undertone as it looks more natural on most people.
How to use eyebrow shadow
- Fill in the hairs with powder using an eyebrow brush. Depending on your preference, you can choose a larger brush that gets the job done faster or an eyebrow brush with a narrow, tapered tip for more precise application.
- If you use eyebrow powder palette, apply the lighter shade to the inner edges of your eyebrows and fill in the outer ends with the darker shade.
- Finally, brush your eyebrows with a spiral brush - it gets rid of excess make-up for a natural looking finish.
