The eyebrows frame our face, and a thinning eyebrow can affect your overall look! Brows can thin over the years, and over-tweezing is a common mistake. Luckily there are a few tricks to fill in thin brows.

Brush the brows in an upward direction
This makes them look fuller. It’s great to have an eyebrow comb, or you can dedicate a new toothbrush or bare mascara want to grooming your brows. Either way, brush the brows upward each morning before applying any product to them.

Pick the right product to fill brows in
Eyebrow gels work wonders, and are typically quite similar to mascara. They are easy to apply and great for coloring grey hairs. Pencils characteristically give you the most pigment and control, but you must use light strokes or your brows could end up looking too drawn-on. A brow powder or eyeshadow can be used for a softer look. You can usually find a nice color match, but you will need a good eyebrow tool with a flat edge to achieve a natural look. A combo of any method can also look nice…experiment with different options to find the most natural look for you.

When choosing a brow color, try to match your hair as closely as possible. For brunettes, go a bit lighter if you can’t get an exact fit. For blondes, go just a tiny bit darker if you must, but don’t get too dark or you’ll end up with a fake look. Never choose black…it can look harsh and takes away from the eyes.

Invest in a product to grow brow hairs
Speed up the growth product with a brow enhancing product! Osmotics 'FNS Nutrilash' Lash & Brow Enhancer currently retails for $48 and uses vitamins, minerals and amino acids to grow brow hair.

Visit a specialist to help get started
