Feathered Brows Are the Latest Trend in Brow Beauty — How to Get the Look
This latest trend in brow beauty is a natural, low maintenance look that’s crossed over from high fashion to everyday style. The look can range from light and fluffy brows that reach up just over your natural arch to dramatic brows that resemble feathers. Expert makeup artist Nikki Wolff, well known for her signature feathered brows like those seen here, shares how to get the look.
Nikki’s top tips on achieving the perfect natural-looking feathered brows:
1. Start by combing brows upward, using a spoolie to separate and define hairs.
2. I prefer to leave brow hairs long and natural, but if yours are a little too unruly, use beauty scissors and angle them downward toward the brow hairs to trim any that are out of place. This will help the end of the brow to look more tapered and not too blunt.
3. Fill in any gaps with your brow product of choice — I love to use gel pomades with an angled brush for a really defined look, or pencils for a softer finish. Start with a light touch
and create small strokes to replicate the natural hair.
4. At this point, I like to pluck any hairs that aren’t in line with the brow you’ve created. Doing this after, not before, filling in the brows helps to ensure that you don’t inadvertently remove too many strays!
5. Finish with a brow gel or a setting soap to keep your perfect brows defined and in place all day!
