To help us achieve the perfect feathered brows, we’ve turned to Carolyn Fox, brow expert and founder of luxury vegan beauty line Garbo & Kelly. “Feathered brows are a playful and sexy look that gives the style of effortless chic,” says Fox, adding that “with the right tools and products, you can make the most of what you already have, create the perfect brow for your face and let your inner beauty shine.”

How to get feathered brows

Here, Carolyn Fox shares how to achieve perfectly feathered brows in five easy steps.

1. Don’t overpluck 

Make sure not to tweeze or over define your brows. Avoid trimming them, the longer the brow hairs, the more there is to work with in creating full, feathered brows.

2. Brush your brows

Start by brushing the brow up with the spooley end of your brow brush to give instant width and lift.

3. Strategic shading

Use the Garbo & Kelly Brow Perfection Pencil to fill any gaps in the front of the brow with hair like strokes. Apply a dusting of the Garbo & Kelly Brow Powder over the top for soft density.

4. Set your work

Use the clear Garbo & Kelly Brow Gel to set the brow and keep them in their perfectly, imperfect position.

5. Add some interest (optional)

For an extra pop, add highlighter from above the eye and follow the length of the tail.
