Eyebrows are one of the most precious features on our face. Paying attention to the shape of our brows is crucial, only because of how they frame our face and features. The decade has increased demand for intentionally bushy, yet somehow still clean-looking eyebrows. (If you've found yourself down a YouTube rabbit hole trying to master this art, you're not alone.)

The trick that most people don't realize that can make a significant difference in eyebrows is using concealer to highlight them. Concealer isn't just to cover unwanted blemishes or dark circles under the eyes—it helps shape and lifts brows, usually with only one application. The more defined and lifted your brows look, the more bright and rested you'll appear. Keep scrolling for our tips on how to use concealer for perfectly shaped eyebrows.

As a general rule of thumb, concealer should be a shade lighter than your natural skin tone, as it needs to blend into your skin while still serving as a highlight. Finding the right concealer shade for you will ultimately result in fresh-looking makeup without having to put in too much effort.

To find your concealer shade, test out a few on your skin until you find the one that brightens yet appears the most natural, avoiding any shade that looks obvious. It's also important to experiment with the texture of the concealer and level of coverage. Knowing if you prefer sheer, medium, or full coverage is vital when choosing a concealer you're going to wear every day.

When your eyebrows are in their best shape, everything from shadow to concealer looks that much better. Shaping your brows will help with stray hairs (to create cleaner lines and a smoother surface for concealer application), and if you have waxing or threading done regularly, they should maintain their shape well. It's always important to pay attention to your arch, as this is a crucial focal point for your brows. If you have light-colored hair that doesn't show, you can always have your brows tinted to enhance the color. 

If you find your eyebrow hair is too long, you can always trim it down using a small pair of scissors.

Eyebrow pencils, pomade, gels... you name it, these are all products you can use to fill in areas that are sparse and create your brow shape. Focus on the shape of your arch first, making sure it's defined and natural. When you're done filling in your brows, brush a brow gel through them to make sure hairs are all pointing in the right direction. Brushing brows upward will help create that coveted feathery look, as well as lift the overall appearance of your eyes (making you look more awake). If you find your eyebrows are sparse, there are a few things you can do to help revive hair growth.
