As the days get colder, my brows get bigger :) I Love sporting a bold'er' brow in the fall/winter. It's not only trendy, but less upkeep for me!
If like most women, you were born with sparse brows or simply went too far with the tweezers, there is a fix to filling in your eyebrows. All it takes is a pencil, powder, and an angled brush or a clean mascara brush.
Pick a Pencil and Powder ShadePencils and powders tend to stick to skin, not to hair, so if you don't have a lot of hair you'll want to shade in the skin where hair should grow.

Select a soft pencil (hard pencils tend to be too waxy) which is a shade lighter than your brows and a powder which matches the color of brows. If brows are super fair, choose a pencil that's a shade darker than brows. (I adore MAC (self propelling) pencil, $18, staff is super helpful and will match it for you.

Prep the BrowsFirst, comb out brows with a clean mascara wand. Examine brows for any sparse spots.

Fill in With PencilUse the pencil to fill in the sparse spots with short, feathery strokes. Apply in the direction of hair growth. The key here is not to create a definite line, but to create the appearance of hair. Be careful not to pencil in the entire brow, which will give you an unnatural look.

Your pencil should be super soft so it goes on with little effort. But if you have a pencil that's too hard, warm the tip up by rubbing it between your fingers.

Follow With Eyeshadow or Brow PowderDip an angled brush (208 angled brow brush, mac, $23.50) or a clean mascara wand in eyeshadow. Brush the powder along the brows. It should stick to the pencil, while also acting to blend in the color perfectly. For more staying powder, dampen the brush slightly before dipping it into color.

Two Colors Instead of One?You can try two colors when filling in brows: A light powder where brows are thickest and a darker shade for the tail ends.

Set BrowsTo keep brows in place, spritz hairspray on your finger and brush onto the brow. (I never do this but try it if you'd like)
