'Eyebrow Artisan' Artist's Brow Makeup Tips of Tips [Likit]

Choi Ju-young Makeup Artist, 'Like It' Dan Yoo-hyun

[Culture & Life Reporter Eunji Kim] Eyebrow makeup expert reveals 'Perfect Fit' eyebrow skills!

Clearly, you drew symmetrical eyebrows, but the result is a messy disaster. You just lightly touched the brow pencil to define the angles, but in the mirror, an Angry Bird is staring back. The more you fix it, the more your eyebrows resemble Jjanggu (a cartoon character with a distinctive eyebrow shape), and soon it becomes impossible to manage. Beginners who don’t even know where they went wrong. For them, an 'eyebrow makeup expert' has stepped forward.

Makeup artist Choi Jooyoung took time to answer questions related to eyebrow styling such as symmetry, thickness, and clumping. At the same time, she gave detailed explanations on how to do eyebrow makeup for different looks like △straight △rounded arch △angled arch to NCL’s Danyuhyun on the 'Likit' YouTube channel, recommending the best eyebrow shapes for each face type.

Q&A. Concerns about eyebrow makeup

Q. My eyebrows are uneven top and bottom. How can I achieve symmetry?

A. It’s important to align the front parts of your eyebrows. Even if the back parts are off, this can give an overall symmetrical impression. If this is difficult, try practicing by marking dots above and below the eyebrows to create symmetry.

Q. My eyebrows are quite thick. When I do makeup, they look too dark, but if I don’t draw them, they look awkwardly natural. I don’t know what to do.

A. People with thick and dark eyebrows usually have dense hair and long eyebrow strands. So you need to trim the length. Use a spoolie brush to comb your eyebrows upward; you’ll find stray hairs sticking out. Trim these with eyebrow scissors. This will make the eyebrow texture look much more natural.

Q. Whenever I draw my eyebrows, they look like Jjanggu eyebrows. Where am I going wrong?

A. The mistake starts from the front part of the eyebrows. Usually, people draw the front horizontally, but that’s wrong. Eyebrow hairs grow from bottom to top. You should draw the eyebrows from bottom to top and then loosen them with a spoolie brush.

3 eyebrow shapes, not difficult

△Straight type "Define the back line"

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

First, firmly define the back line of the eyebrow in a straight line. Coloring comes next. Draw the front part of the eyebrow delicately from bottom to top. Finish by loosening any clumped parts with a spoolie brush. If you have a concealer brush, apply foundation or concealer to it to make the lines clearer.

△Rounded arch type "Make the brow peak natural"

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Rounded arch eyebrows suit the 'natural but polished' makeup style. Compared to straight eyebrows, they also enhance the three-dimensionality of the face. The first step for rounded arch eyebrows is to fill in the lower front part. When defining the angle, roll it naturally and roundly as if it were your natural eyebrow.

△Angled arch type "Lower the front, fill the end"

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

To emphasize the angle, draw the front part of the eyebrow lower than its original position. Change the tilt through the front part to find the angle that suits you. Fill in the end part by drawing each hair strand individually. At this time, use a spoolie brush simultaneously to focus on enhancing the eyebrow texture.
