eyebrows. Options

[Smarmosaur]

ok so on the majority of makeup tutorials and such, there's a lot of different suggestions i've seen on filling in eyebrows.

BUT.
i haven't found one that explains HOW. or how to find a color without having to buy a million things, and what to use (liner, shadow...)

i have really thin eyebrows that are WAY too light for my hair color.
so if anybody could explain or send me in the direction of a nice tutorial, i'd really like to know:
how to fill in.
how to find the perfect color.
how to make it look natural.

decide what medium you want to fill in your brows first - powder, cream, or pencil. personally i usually use pencil (when i very rarely fill in my brows)... and the two things for that, besides picking the right shade, would be control and blending.

i do think powder is the easiest though (pressed, of course). you can get some specifically for your eyebrows (mac has excellent ones) or just use some eyeshadow. angled brushes are the best, but i don't have one.. so i use a thin contour brush. but as long as it has some stiffness (somewhere between a synthetic eyeliner brush and a typical all-over lid eyeshadow brush, it SHOULD have natural hair or at least something similar)... you should be good. just start off with light application and layer :) it's simple.
