These brows are perfect as Halloween is right around the corner, or you can do these brows on a regular day to spice up your makeup look. Either way, this red eyebrow look is super easy and only uses 3-4 products.
STEP ONE: Use a spookier and brush your eyebrow hairs neatly going to the back to the tale to ensure you’re working with a neat canvas.
STEP TWO: Outline your eyebrows as you would usually using your usual eyebrow pencil or pomade (Product used: NYX Eye Pencil Shade Black Brown)
STEP THREE: Use a red lip liner to go over your outline in step two, and also fill in your eyebrows. (Product used: Maybelline Shaping Lip Liner Shade Brick Red)
STEP FOUR: Use a spoolie to brush the very front of your eyebrows to create an ombré effect.
STEP FIVE: Clean under your eyebrows with your usual concealer (Product used: LA Girl Pro Concealer Shade Fawn)
STEP SIX: Clean the top of your eyebrows using your foundation.
STEP SEVEN (Optional): Brush the tail end of your eyebrows with a red eyeshadow for more pigment.
... Read moreHey everyone! So, you’ve seen my super quick red eyebrow tutorial, but let’s dive a little deeper into making this bold look truly your own. When I first thought about trying red brows, I wasn't sure if it was just for Halloween or if I could rock it more often. Turns out, it's a fantastic way to express yourself and really elevate a makeup look, whether you have red hair or just want a fun pop of color!
Choosing Your Perfect Red:
One of the questions I often get is, 'What shade of red should I use?' It really depends on your natural hair color and skin tone. If you're going for a more natural yet vibrant look, especially if you have red hair, a brick red or a more muted rust color can blend beautifully. For a truly dramatic effect, like the one I created, a brighter, more intense red is perfect. I found that using a lip liner like the Maybelline Shaping Lip Liner in 'Brick Red' gave me that perfect saturated color, and you can always layer a red eyeshadow, perhaps from a SMINE palette, on top for extra intensity and to set the color.
Beyond the Basics: Application Tips for Flawless Red Brows:
The tutorial covers the core steps, but here are some extra tricks I've learned:
Precise Outlining: When outlining your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil (like the NYX Eye Pencil I used), take your time. A sharp pencil makes all the difference! This initial outline forms the backbone of your red brow shape.
Filling Technique: Instead of just drawing straight lines, try short, hair-like strokes with your red lip liner or an angled brush with eyeshadow. This helps create a more natural, less drawn-on look.
Blending with a Spoolie: Don't underestimate the power of your spoolie! After filling, gently brush the front of your brows upward and the rest outwards. This softens any harsh lines and helps distribute the color evenly, creating that ombré effect. This is crucial for avoiding a blocky look, especially when you're going for something as striking as red. I always use my spoolie brush close up to really get into the hairs.
Cleaning Up: My LA Girl Pro Concealer in 'Fawn' is my secret weapon! Cleaning under your eyebrows really sharpens the edges and makes the red pop even more. Don't forget the top with a bit of foundation for a seamless finish.
Makeup vs. Dye: What's the Difference?
Many of you might be wondering about 'red dyed eyebrows.' While dyeing your eyebrows red is an option for a longer-lasting commitment, this tutorial focuses purely on makeup. The beauty of using makeup is that it's temporary! You can switch up your look daily without any long-term commitment. Plus, it's generally safer for your skin around the delicate eye area than some dyes might be. If you're exploring red brow color, I always recommend starting with makeup to see if you love the look before considering anything permanent.
Making Your Red Brows Last:
To ensure your vibrant red brows stay put all day (or night!), consider a few additional steps. After applying your red color and cleaning up, lightly set your brows with a translucent setting powder or a clear eyebrow gel. This helps lock everything in place and prevents smudging, especially if you're out dancing or dealing with humidity.
I hope these extra tips help you confidently rock your red eyebrows! It’s such a fun and unique look that’s surprisingly easy to achieve with just a few trusted products like your favorite eyebrow pencil, a good lip liner, and some red eyeshadow.
LOVEEE♥️♥️
