What are the two sides for?
This brush is double-sided, which is what makes it so handy. You use the angled side to apply your brow product with precision: the angle allows you to create thin, hair-like strokes as well as fill in small gaps. The spiral brush (the spoolie) on the other end combs your hairs into place, distributes the color, and removes excess product. Together, you have everything in one tool to set and finish your brows.
How do I create natural-looking hairs?
The secret is to work lightly and build it up. Take a small amount of product on the angled side and tap off the excess first to prevent smudges. Then, use the tip to make short, fine strokes in the direction of your natural hair growth, as if you were drawing real hairs, and start in the middle of your eyebrow where the hairs are densest. Build up slowly until you are satisfied; you can always add more, but taking it away is harder.
Which product can I use with this brush?
The angled side works well with different textures: brow powder, a pommade/cream, or a gel. If you want to combine it within Mii, it pairs beautifully with the Designer Brow Duo (the waterproof cream); you use this tip to set your hairs and use the spoolie to blend it. One tip: with a powder or cream, take only a small amount at a time; with a colored or wetter texture, clean the brush in between so the tip stays sharp.
In what order should I use the sides?
Start with the spoolie: brush your eyebrows through first to get them into shape and see where there is still room for improvement. Then grab the angled side to touch up the gaps and the shape with your product. Finally, finish with the spoolie again to soften everything and comb it through. This keeps the result natural instead of having a harsh, drawn-on line.
How do I blend harsh lines?
That’s where the spoolie brush is worth its weight in gold. If you have just applied product and it looks a bit too sharp or dark, comb through it gently a few times in the direction of your hair growth. The color will then distribute beautifully over your hairs and the skin, harsh edges will fade, and the overall look will be softer and more natural. Do this calmly and check your brows in daylight; that way, you see them exactly as others see them.
