Give Me Big & Bold Brows a la Cara Delevingne

Kouturekiss - Give Me Big & Bold Brows
Big, thick brows are definitely “in” right now. Have you seen supermodel Cara Delevingne’s?!

A little trick to quickly make your eyebrows bolder and darker is to use an eye shadow color that is a shade darker than your natural brow color and apply it with any thin eye brush (I used a Sephora angled eyeliner brush).

  1. Start about ½ an inch away from the start of your brow (near your eye) and fill in any sparse areas with your dark eye shadow.
  2. Next fill in the top part of your brow (that you skipped before) with whatever small amount of eye shadow is remaining on the brush (so it is not as dark as the rest of your brow in this area).
  3. Finally, dab a little concealer above and below your brow. This contrast of light with dark will make your brows stand out even more! Be careful not to get concealer on your brow.
  4. Finish with mascara & liner and voila! Cara Delevinge brows!

Keep in mind that this is not an entirely “natural” look, so make sure you only go super bold for nights out or special events. Add a dark smokey eye, some liner and mascara and you are good to go!
