•Do your touch ups.
•Use your pencil and adjust any wiped line.
•Check that your both brows are same or look alike.
•Keep your brows neat
•You can also use a brown eye shadow, the color of your brows if you don't have a brow filler or just your pencil. Remember light strokes!

Take a Q-tip(cotton bud) and gently wipe the front of the brow to create an ombre and natural look.

Use a mascara wand(spoolie) and blend in any harsh lines to make it look natural and brush up any straying hair.

Highlighting the brow:
Use a little concealer to highlight the brow. Clean it up on the top and bottom of the brow using an angle brush. Blend it out. Don't let the concealer show!

Step 2.
DEFINE YOUR BROW: Follow your natural brow.

From the first pictorial, the first brow and second brow shows how to define your brow.

Outline your real brow starting from the under line. Then draw the up line, curve at the arch and slowly descend at the end. Don't leave much gap in between the two lines and no gap from the arch down.

Fill in the brow with brow filler or with your pencil with soft light strokes.

Step 1: Shape your eye brow
The trick is following your natural hair.
Do NOT shave off your arch
Shave off straying hairs by brushing your hairs up and down with mascara wand.

From the second and third picture, you will see how to measure the position of the arch. Look directly to the mirror with your eyes steady. Use your pencil and place on the end part of your iris( the black small eye ball) upwards to your brows. Where it intercepts is where your arch should be.

Some eyebrow pictorial that would guide us.

Culled from the net.

Yes. You can use just pencil and not use brow filler but angle brush is a necessity too. You use it to apply the concealer and it helps in blending the concealer out and the shape helps to work around the "archy" shape of the brows. You can get single angle brush at N500. Bobbi Brown.

Okay

Okay. I will post pictorials to help us understand better but I need at least 3 people following.

Moving on...who is with me?

To have that perfect eyebrow or like one of my students like calling it, "archy eyebrow" you need the following tools and products.

Razor or tweezer, brow pencil, eye brow filler, mascara wand(spoolie), angle brush, shadow brush, concealer, and Q-tip(cotton bud).

I use MaryKay foundation. Medium coverage. I find it good for our wheather and it looks natural after application when blended well.

But beware of imitation. Make sure to get the original...makes all the difference.

For concealer, I use Milani secret cover and L.A Girl Pro Conceal(especially for highlighting and contouring)

To achieve a beautiful make up, you must work on perfecting your brows.

Eyebrows is the most challenging aspect in make up application.

So, the first practical lesson we are going to take is "how to groom/draw eyebrows"

A closer look

Any one following?

Who is with me?

Right here

Okay.

It's mostly used by Make up artists. It helps make up stay longer. Different brands have it. Personally I use Mary Kay finishing spray.

You hold it few inches apart from your face and spay.

Any question before we continue? Feel free to throw it in.

Make up procedure:

Before any make up application, endeavor to clean your face very well with baby wipes. Then apply your face primer(pat it in). I always do my eye make up first before my face and lips make up.

So after primer application, I do my eye brows, then eye shadow application, mascara and lining the eyes.

Next, conceal under eyes, edge of the nose and lips, any dark spots or blemishes with concealer. Then apply your foundation.

Apply your lip pencil, your lipstick, and gloss.

Finish up with powder, blush and bronzer.

You can spray your finishing spray for long lasting make up.

Okay. Who else is following?

Before I go on, please who is following?

Makeup products: The basic make up products are foundation, concealer, face primer, eye primer, powder, eye shadows, eye liner, mascara, pencils,(lip pencils and eye pencils), eye brow filler, bronzer, blush, contour kit, lipsticks, lip gloss, and finishing spray.

For the art of make up, you need tools like professional brush set, foundation sponge(beauty blender) tweezers and eyelash curler.

Brushes makes all the difference in makeup application. Everyone from the most skilled Make up Artist to the woman who wears only the basic can benefit from using the right tools.

Consider investing in at least few key brushes.

The basic brushes are eye shadow brush,
eye blender brush, eyeliner brush, mascara wand, foundation brush or beauty blender.

Before purchasing brushes, assess quality brush by testing the way the bristles feel against the skin and by running your fingers through the bristles to make sure they don't shed. It needs to feel comfortable and easy to maneuver.

First we have to know that make up is an art. Just like every art, we have to master it to perfect in it.

In make up, it requires the use of tools and products. Let's start with the tools.
