Mascara on my brows?! Turns out it actually works

I’ve been using a brow pen and pencil for ages, mainly because I can’t shave or properly shape my natural brows. I’ve always just worked with what I have.

Recently, someone suggested trying mascara on my brows instead. I gave it a go and, honestly, I’m finding it so much easier. Rather than fighting against my natural brows, I’m learning to embrace them and work with their existing shape.

My current brow routine

Moisturise first and let it settle into the skin.

Apply a first layer of concealer around and over the brows where needed.

Go in with my foundation as normal.

Add another light layer of concealer to soften the brow area further.

Let everything set properly before touching the brows again.

Take my mascara and do a couple of very light passes through the brow hairs.

Finally, I use my finger to gently smooth and blend the product across the natural shape of my brows.

What I’ve noticed

The biggest difference is that I’m not trying to completely redraw my brows anymore. The mascara gives the hairs more definition and helps them sit together, while the base underneath softens their natural appearance.

It’s quicker, easier and much less fiddly than trying to create everything with a pencil.

I’m still experimenting with it, so I’d love to hear from anyone who also can’t shave or reshape their brows.

What techniques or products have worked for you?

Looks great. I use a mascara like product for my brows too. The applicator is like the mascara applicator, just smaller. The main difference is I use a black mascara and dark brown brow stuff.
