Cosplay make up question: my eyebrows are dark colored, but not thick and look like very short, messy hair. How do I make them look neater?
easiest thing to do is take a slanted eye shadow brush:
and eye shadow (of whatever color you’re going for brown or black)
and follow your natural browline and just fill it in. You can elongate your eyebrow by extending the line. Be careful to make sure both are symmetrical. You can suggest an arch by moving the brush in an upwards arc with your eyebrow
but if your going for a dramatic arch then its better to just draw them (see below)
If you have dark and are going for blonde OR
IF you are going for another eyebrow color like blue or red, or white, or orange:
It is best to start over. That is to draw on your eyebrows completely. In order to do this you must glue down your eyebrows with a glue stick, and then put foundation on them, and THEN draw on your eyebrows. This is of course a lot more complicated than the others.
I plan on making a video about eyebrows where I can do all of these techniques: mostly the last one, I’ll draw on blonde eyebrows for Thor.
But this video might not happen until after AnimeNext. Maybe earlier if I’m lucky.
That being said. Not many people go this extra mile. For example I don’t have any pictures of my Thor with drawn on eyebrows. Only Thor with my natural brown eyebrows. That being said, I don’t think it takes too much away from the cosplay.
Let me know if I just made things more confusing..or if you have any more questions. :)
