Everybody in my life knows that brows are a sore subject for me. I wasn’t blessed with the Cara Delevingne gene, or anything remotely close to that, and every day since the 8th grade I’ve crafted some rendition of an eyebrow to frame my round face. Over the course of those nine years, my brows saw the worst of times. They were tinted red, they were dark and chalky, and at one point they were giving off some major Spock vibes. They saw every type of pencil, pomade, and gel imaginable, and I can now confidently say that I’ve finally found the perfect routine for me. But with the onset of big, bushy brows – and subsequent weird ombré brows and brows with corners – the critic in me is struggling to keep her mouth shut. If you’re not down with the blocky, opaque brow all over Instagram but know no other way, don’t fret. It won’t take you nine years to perfect your brows. It won’t even take 10 minutes. Makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes just blessed us with a tutorial to solve all skinny and sparse brow woes.


#InstaBrows nope… Not here! If you were a serial plucker like me. Try the hair line strike method. I use a sharp point angled liner brush with @illamasqua brow gel in Stare but I mix it with Aqua Seal from @makeupforeverofficial to create a water like tint on back of my hand and then I simply flick on some little hairs. If you know anyone with before brows like mine tag them! Hope this helps someone achieve natural looking full drawn in brows. #KJHtips

Katie over plucked her brows as a teenager and they never grew back, so she’s learned to paint in little hairs that give her a 3D brow look. She’s not into the instabrow either, and she has a few tricks up her sleeve for making your tiny brows look natural.

If you’re still not sure which brow style is for you, Katie has you covered on that front, too.

What’s your opinion? A side by side comparison of Kylie and Kendall wearing completely dif makeup with the quote: Instagram makeup vs Editorial makeup got me thinking. I wanted to try them both on my self to see which I truly preferred. It’s the one on the right!!! Honestly I like the way both look as they are both powerful in their own way. I’m AMAZED at how the makeup on the left is quickly becoming the norm for young girls and will probably be that way for a while and that’s cool… It’s about what YOU like after all. The down side is that most people end up looking very similar! I guess my message in this post is… Authenticity is an important thing! #Contour#instaMakeup#antiContour#beyou
