Read on to discover our top tips on how to get bushy eyebrows at home.

HISTORY OF THE BIG, BUSHY BROWS TREND

The thick eyebrow trend dates back to the 1950s, when Audrey Hepburn changed Hollywood’s vision of beauty with her perfectly defined, full brows. Layering strokes of eyebrow pencil, she accentuated her naturally thick eyebrow shape, adding narrow, dainty ends for a feminine finish.

The 1970s saw an au naturel take on brows, as the hippie movement had women stick to the eyebrow shapes they were born with for a softer look. It wasn’t until the 1980s that power brows made it to the mainstream, when Madonna led the way with her wild, bushy eyebrows.

Accentuated with upward strokes of a spoolie brush, dark, unruly eyebrows were the look of the decade. But styles were set to change, and both the 1990s and noughties saw us plucking our skinny arches down to super-fine lines.
 
Thankfully, the big, bushy brows revolution is in full force once again.

HOW TO GET THICKER EYEBROWS

Thick eyebrows are the goal, but can you achieve them naturally? While some are blessed with bushier brows, years of overplucking may have left many of us with sparse hair growth.

It may go without saying, but if you want to increase fullness, drop those tweezers! Withstand the in-between stage and your eyebrows should grow out in around 12 weeks. Can’t bear to say goodbye to your tweezers just yet? Use them in soft light to prevent overplucking.

For a natural eyebrow product to encourage hair growth, castor, coconut and olive oil could help you reach your thick eyebrow goals. Petroleum jelly can also help; like oil, it locks in moisture to provide a hydrating barrier thought to stimulate growth and nourish hairs. Simply apply your chosen product with a cotton bud or mascara wand before bed.

HOW TO MAKE EYEBROWS LOOK THICK

Wondering how to make your eyebrows look thicker? If you can’t grow them naturally… fake it! Makeup for eyebrows can give them added definition and a fuller shape, giving the illusion of thicker brows.

Here’s how to do eyebrow makeup for fuller-looking brows:

Permanent brow tattoo tints:

If you’re looking for eyebrow makeup that stands the test of time, permanent brow tattoo peel-off tints can give you a statement brow that lasts up to 3 days – no touch-ups needed! Originating from Korea (like many trends do!), this is the latest craze for darker, natural-looking brows.

To achieve this thick eyebrow look:

● Clean your brows to prepare them. 
● Carefully apply the peel-off tint in your desired eyebrow shape. 
● Remove any mistakes with a cotton bud and leave to set for 20 minutes – or for extra-long wear, leave for up to 2 hours.
● Peel off with your fingers, and voilà! 

Super fluffy eyebrows:

Want to get soft, fluffy, full brows? Say hello to our Superfluff Brow Mousse for an extra addition of brow volume! This easy eyebrow mousse comes with a handy fluff-up brush that fills sparse eyebrows to give you that bushy eyebrow look. 

To achieve natural fluffy brows:

● Clean your brows.
● Remove excess formula from the brush.
● Softly brush through brows to fill in sparse areas and add volume.
● For extra fluffy brows, brush upwards and outwards.

Soap brows:

Want to get the trending soap brow effect, minus all the hassle of using soap bars and brushes to get that coveted lamination-style effect? No worries, we’re here to help! With our SuperLock Brow Glue, your brows will look perfectly laminated for up to 24 hours.

To achieve soap brows:

● Clean and prep your brows.
● If filling in your brows, use a pencil or brow stick to define the shape.
● For the laminated brow effect, brush your brows upwards using the spoolie.

HOW TO FILL YOUR EYEBROWS?

If you’re looking to change the shape of your brows using makeup, then learning how to fill in eyebrows using a pen or pencil is the best way to create the illusion of a thicker brow.
 
An eyebrow filler, such as a brow shaping pencil or a tattoo brow stick, works well to fake a perfectly thick eyebrow shape. For natural-looking results, we recommend using a colour slightly darker than your natural hair.
 
Here’s how to fill brows for a fuller look:

● Clean and prep your brows.
● Lift brows into shape using the brush.
● Fill in your brows using the pencil or brow stick.

HOW TO ENHANCE EYEBROWS?

For extra finesse, accentuate your arches with an eyebrow highlighter. To use, trace the highlighter beneath the brow, paying attention to the brow bone under the arch. This will emphasise your shape for a killer look.

How to highlight eyebrows:

● Apply the lighter powder shade with an angled brush to follow your eyebrow shape.
● Unless you’re going for a Hepburn-style angled brow, try not to overdo the powder at the ends to keep the look natural.
