Frequently Asked Questions
.What should you look for in an eyebrow brush?
"A perfect brow brush is firm enough to separate the hair, but gentle enough to not irritate or sensitize the skin," celeb brow artist René de la Garza says. Different brushes should be used depending on your desired results too. "I love a spoolie to separate and a softer doe-foot lip wand to smooth the brows into place," de la Garza says. And in a pinch, "A soft bristle toothbrush is also great!"
How do you use an eyebrow brush?
Follow the natural arch of the brow, but use the brush for shaping. "An eyebrow brush should be used in an upward and outward direction to create lift and separation," de la Garza says. "For dense areas of the brow, you can swivel the brush into the brows to create more separation," as the artist demonstrates in this Instagram video.
