How to Draw Eyebrows With Eyeliner Pencil
STEP 2: Fill in the brows, to create the illusion of real brow hairs
Use a dark brown eye pencil to shade/ fill in between the lines you drew. The correct technique is to fill, using short and light hair-like strokes in the direction of the brow hair growth. Use short, light feathery strokes (one stroke at a time, not long strong lines), while along with your natural brow shape and arch. This would make sparse or thin brows appear fuller while adding definition to the brows. In place of an eye pencil, you can also use an eyeshadow or brow powder, using an angled brush.

STEP 3: Brush out and repeat
Use a spooly-brush or an old mascara brush to brush out the eye pencil colours. This will spread out the colour pigment and make the brow filling look even lighter and more natural. Continue brushing out with the spoolie or old mascara wand/ brush until the brows are in the shade you desire.
STEP 4 (Optional): Clean Up the Edges of the lines with a Concealer
This is the step that makes your brows look excellently done – use concealer to clean any mistake. Take some concealer in a small flat brush, and apply to the under / bottom of your brows to clean up the edges and remove excess or overdrawn colours or mistakes. This will give a clean, professional definition to your brow bones and also highlight the brow top.
*Be sure to blend the concealer downward and brush out the from the front of the brows. This would make the applied eyebrow colours spread out evenly and look more natural, you know, a gradient effect. With that, you're done!

Why You Need to Do Better Eyebrows
A good-looking set of eyebrows are key to achieving a flawless makeup overall. The finished look of your makeup depends on your ability to fill your brows right. No matter how good your foundation, contour, and lips look, if your eyebrows are not on-point, you'll look not-put-together. The way you fill your eyebrows can either make you look older, younger, bland or sick.
Unfortunately, many women struggle with drawing their eyebrows well enough to enhance their facial looks.
