Outlining your brows can help define and balance your shape — but too much outlining or the wrong placement can quickly lead to an unnatural, overly “drawn-on” look. In this video, learn the two most effective ways to outline your brows while keeping the result soft, minimal, and true to your natural shape.
The key takeaway? Less is more. Outlining should support your natural brows, not overpower them. Focus on enhancing where you’re lacking, not adding product where you already have hair.
This tutorial covers:
• How outlining allows you to focus on the fullness of the entire brow — from bottom to top — not just the densest areas where hair grows.
• The two recommended outlining methods: 1. Full soft outline to guide shape (especially helpful for very sparse brows). 2. Minimal spot outlining only where you need it (blending outline and hairlike strokes for a seamless finish).
• Why over-lining the top of the arches and tails can make brows look harsh — and how to avoid this by using the pomade combover method instead of pencil in these areas.
• How to lift and redirect brow hairs with Relume Cosmetics Everyday Lift Pomade, using the hairs themselves to create fullness rather than relying on makeup alone.
• Adjusting your approach based on your natural hair growth pattern:
• For side-growing brows: use pomade to lift and separate.
• For downward-growing brows: redirect softly to the side (not straight up).
• Why forcing hairs drastically upward (especially for downward-growing brows) can work against your natural pattern — and how to enhance your brows in a way that complements, not contradicts, their natural direction.
• Pro tip: Why dabbing out harsh strokes is better than blending with a spoolie (which can fuzz or erase your hard work).
This video is all about working with your natural brow growth — enhancing your shape with minimal outlining and letting your real hair do the work wherever possible.
