How to Fill In Eyebrows With a Pencil for a Natural Look

To fill in eyebrows naturally with a pencil, choose a shade close to your brow color, map where your brow starts, arches, and ends, then draw light, hair-like strokes in the direction of growth. Keep the front of the brow softer than the tail, and blend with a spoolie.

Choosing a shade

Brow color Pencil shade
Blonde Taupe or light brown
Brown Match or go slightly lighter
Black Dark brown or soft black

Mapping your brows

  1. Start: line up the pencil with the side of the nose.
  2. Arch: angle it from the nose through the center of the eye.
  3. End: angle it from the nose past the outer corner of the eye.
