Because they give our face all its harmony and structure, here are the foolproof tips for taking care of our eyebrows.
Beautiful eyebrows mean healthy eyebrows: full, well-defined, and well-colored. Obviously, the best thing is to keep their shape as natural as possible, but if you've made a few mistakes in the past (with plucking, tattooing...), there are some great backup solutions for keeping perfect eyebrows every day.
Before we move on to the best tips for always having perfect eyebrows, did you know that beyond their aesthetic appeal, eyebrows also play a major role in protecting our eyes? These two vital organs are very fragile and would easily be damaged by external pollution if eyebrows weren't there to protect them. These two hairy lines therefore form an effective protective barrier against dust, sweat, and even the sun... So many reasons why they deserve to be pampered too, right?

Tips for maintaining perfect eyebrows
As you can probably tell, you shouldn't neglect eyebrow care! To keep them beautiful and full, here are a few good tips to follow carefully every day.
Moisturize your eyebrows
Beyond having an ideal shape, eyebrows must also be well-conditioned. To achieve this, nothing beats good hydration so that the hairs stay strong, full, shiny, and supple. Yes, even our eyebrow hairs can suffer from breakage and dryness, just like our hair. After all, they have almost the same composition... How to properly moisturize your eyebrows? It's not complicated, and we have the perfect solution with our ROSEBROW serum, specially formulated to provide eyebrows with the hydration and nutrients needed for hair regrowth, as well as to maintain their shine and suppleness. Applying it in the morning before makeup and in the evening before bedtime provides complete care.
Be gentle when plucking
You should never over-pluck... At the risk of no longer being able to regrow your eyelashes, even with the help of serums! The best tip is to always pluck the hairs that stick out beyond the defined line. Avoid going any further, as it's not necessary anyway.
Use the right plucking techniques
If you pluck your eyebrows yourself at home, you should always use a good pair of tweezers (crab-style tips are the best because they provide a better grip on the hair). Always pull out eyebrow hairs in the direction they grow to prevent them from breaking, becoming ingrown when they regrow, or worse, growing in all directions... The best tip? Pluck after showering. The skin pores are more dilated and allow the hairs to come out easily.
Always brush your eyebrows
Using an eyebrow brush, get into the habit of smoothing the hairs in the direction they grow and always upwards. This will give your eyebrows a neat but also lifted appearance (like a brow lift) for an awake look. The brush also helps smooth out excess makeup or remove dust that has accumulated in the eyebrow hairs.
How to properly apply eyebrow makeup?
Once you've mastered the right techniques, you can enhance the appearance of your eyebrows with makeup. Using a pencil, powder, or special eyebrow mascara.
Intensify the line
For successful eyebrow makeup, focus mainly on the line. It needs to be neat and precise. Always choose an eyebrow pencil, powder, or mascara in the exact color of your hairs. One shade darker risks making your eyes and facial expression look harsher, while one shade lighter risks washing it out... The best tip? Add light to further accentuate the line. How? By applying a touch of highlighter under the eyebrow, either with powder highlighter applied with a fine brush, with a dedicated pencil, or with shimmery eyeshadow!
Set the makeup
To make your eyebrow makeup last all day (or all night), remember to set it. Using a setting gel or wax applied with a spoolie (a small brush), always in the direction the hair grows and always upwards. Just like with brushing or the more technical brow lift, setting the hairs upwards will help enlarge the eyes and create a lifting effect for the eyelid.
Opt for permanent makeup
Maybe you're too lazy to go through the eyebrow makeup routine every morning... That's understandable. To avoid having to carry around a pencil and the rest of the gang (and wasting time when you're in a hurry), there's permanent makeup! It really is the ultimate solution for keeping on-fleek eyebrows all day, all night, and all year round.
Microblading, microshading, tinting... There are plenty of options, but always make sure you get good advice on what suits you best and, above all, avoid tattooing. In addition to being outdated, tattoos age very poorly (they turn blue) and are painful to remove.
