DIY Ombre Powder Brow Tip:

Powder Ombre Brows at Home

Are unsure sure if you’re ready to commit to ombré brows with us? Not a problem—you can mimic this trendy brow look with the help of makeup!

REMOVE ANY MAKEUP

Begin by making sure you’re starting with clean, bare brows. Saturate a cotton pad with a good cleanser and sweep it over your eyebrows to remove any traces of leftover makeup.

MARK YOUR SHAPE

Using a nude eyeliner, draw small dots where the beginning, arch, and end of your brows should be. Align the pencil so that it’s parallel to the bridge of your nose to find the ideal starting point for your eyebrows. Then, angle the pencil so that it goes through your iris. This is where your arch should be. Finally, angle the pencil so that it’s aligned with the outer corner of your eye. This is where the end of your brow should be.

FILL IN YOUR BROWS

Using eyebrow powder and an angled brush, begin to fill in your eyebrows. Start by filling in your entire eyebrow with a very light hand. Then, build the color up at the middle and ends of your brow, so that the end is the darkest. Use your fingertip or a small tapered eyeshadow brush to blend out any harsh lines for a seamless, ombré brow look.

FINISH WITH AN OIL-FREE SETTING SPRAY

Spritz on a good quality oil-free makeup setting spray to ensure your eyebrow makeup stays put all day and night.


Enjoy Your Ombre Brows!

    • What is the difference between Powder Brows, Ombre Brows and Micro Shading?

      In most ways they are essentialy the same. There are some who refer to Microshading as a combination of shading and microblading. We typically refer to this as "Combo Brows" or "Combination Brows". Ombre Brows puts more emphasis on the Ombre effect, which is to gradually deposit pigment from lighter to darker shades in order to achieve a gradient effect that adds depth and dimension to the eyebrows. We always incorporate this to varying degrees in our Microshading because we do not feel comfortable providing a "blocked out" look, as it is generally not flattering. The Powder Brows term emphasizes the effect of mimicing the look of eyebow powder makeup. The bottom line is that these terms all share the same or very similar desired outcome and overall effect.
