What are brushed up brows?
Brushed up brows are maximized in volume, fluffy and have a androgynous look to them. Brushed up brows will suit any makeup look, from a natural glowy finish to a glamorous, full-coverage look, brushed up brows are sure to make a statement.
Brushed up brows tend to have minimal makeup in them, usually a strong hold gel is applied to keep them in position. Using too much makeup will take away the natural finish and it can make the brows look bulky and too dark.
Where did brushed up brows come from?
Brushed up brows seemed to come out of nowhere! firstly it was spotted on the runways and then Instagram accounts of our favourite makeup artists, brushed up brows were soon the new beauty obsession.
Will brushed up brows suit me?
Yes! of course. However…… for those who aren’t blessed with big natural brows, unfortunately the brushed up brow needs hair!. There are some brilliant brow pencils out there which can help you fake it til you make it!
How to keep my brows brushed up?
Choosing the right products to add soft definition to your natural brows is the first step. First of all, choose the right colour for your brows. One big mistake people tend to do, is choose the wrong shade. This is really important. Often a lot of high street brands have a lot of orange/warmth in the pencils.
Purchase a really good gel. This is a must for brushed up brows. There are soooo many products on the market now for this style of brow, from gels to soaps to mascaras.
