First of all purchase a good quality eyebrow brush with a comb in it. You can get it easily at any cosmetic store. Another eyebrow brush you need is angled eyebrow brush for filling colour. Brush should be thin with firm bristles which can manage brows in perfect way.
When you are getting your brows waxed, tweeze the stray hairs. Run eyebrow brush in opposite direction of growth of hair. Check for stray hairs and pluck them. After plucking, brush hair back. Avoid over plucking of brows; it will make the brows very thin.
While filling eyebrow colour, select a shade of eyebrow powder which just matches your natural brow colour. If you have dark brows hair, choose two shades lighter than your brow colour.
Start filling the eyebrow colour from the middle towards outside. Fill in those patches of brows where hair growth is sparse or thin. Use short strokes of brush to fill the brows. By applying several light layers build up the colour with eyebrow brush. For a softer look, smudge the colour. Run the angled brush from inner brow to outer brow.
Keep your eyebrow brush clean to prevent breeding of bacteria and prevent accumulation of dust. Wash it regularly by detergent and water.
