Got sparse brows? These eyebrow makeup tips will show you how to fix thin eyebrows. And just in time because - eyebrows are back baby!

We'll show you the best brow products and a quick tutorial on how to shape and fill-in those brows in minutes.

Full, rich, defined eyebrows are back in fashion.

And, that’s a good thing because this little facial feature has a big impact on how we look – especially for women over 40.

Nothing takes years off the face more than well-defined, shaped eyebrows. Defined eyebrows help balance the face which is important as we age because our face shape changes.

Geez! What happened? Seems like we spent half of our lives plucking overgrown brow hairs - only to wind up looking for ways to fill them in!

Well, hopefully the right eyebrow makeup tips (with eyebrow tutorials) will help!

Eyebrow makeup tips

There are plenty of beauty tips and products available to help deal with thinning or sparse eyebrows. But, the most effective solutions really depend on your individual situation.

What are your brow issues?

While we're all different, most of us have one or more issues listed below:

1. Are Your Brows Thin Throughout - From Front to Back?

The best solution I've found for this is using a mascara like brush. Hold the brush on a vertical angle and run it across the entire eyebrow. You want to coat and thicken brow hairs - just like you do with eyelashes.There are plenty inexpensive eyebrow gel tints available online and at the drugstore.

Watch this tutorial for tips on how to shape your eyebrows..

2. Are Your Brows Missing Hair on The Outer 1/2 of The Brow?

This is a perfect situation for using a super thin brush and a gelbrow color. I use Mommy Makeup Eyeliner (which can be used on the brows too), but any waterproof gel would work.

The super thin brush allows me to draw tiny hairs on the outercorners of my brows which gives me real natural look. Plus, it's waterproof so staysin place even if I get wet or sweat.

Yes, this is an eyeliner gel and brush, but it works GREAT for eyebrows.

P.S. You can try any eyeliner gel and thin brush, but I like Mommy Makeup brand of makeup. It's versatile, good quality and inexpensive.

This brow issue requires a steady hand and some control because you want to fill-in the gaps.

A very sharp waterproof waxy-type pencil might be your best bet. I like Maybelline eyebrow pencil (yes, it's been around forever) but it works the best because it doesn't smudge or deposit too much color, so I can control it. Plus, it's cheap!

If a pencil is too soft (crayon like) you need to have a very light touch and steady hand or it seems to deposits too much color and the brows look artificial or too harsh.

In fact, almost all of the eyebrow pencils I’ve tried (except for Maybelline) are too soft and deposit too much color. I dislike that “smudgy” dirty eyebrow look.

TIP: Make sure eyebrows are dry and free from creams or oils. Pencils go on easier with less smudge and look more like natural hairs. Try dusting a little powder on the brows or wipe them with toner first before using a pencil.

If you like the look and staying power from a tinted eyebrow brush, you can still use it, but just use the tip of the brush to draw in missing hairs. The advantage here is you won't have to keep sharpening the pencil to get that smooth sharp look.

This tutorial shows how to use an eyebrow powder/gel..

Why do brows get thinneras we age?

I’m not really sure there is one single cause for thin orsparse eyebrows. Some say it is a result of overplucking when we were younger. Others suggest a decline hormonal levelssuch as thyroid, estrogen and progesterone are to blame.

But, if low hormone levels due to aging is toblame, why don’t men suffer from this issue too?

Heck, I’m trying to talk my husband into getting his browsprofessionally waxed because they’ve become so out of control and thick overthe years!

Well, it really doesn’t matter why this happens – we all just wanta solution that works and looks natural.

Hope these eyebrow beauty tips were helpful.

How to waterproof eyebrow and mascara makeup

Now that you've found a way to fill-in those sparse, thin eyebrows - how do you make the makeup stay put?

While there are waterproof eyebrow pencils, there is a clear gel you can apply that not only keeps the eyebrow color vibrant and new looking, but also gives each eyebrow hair extra oomph - for a thicker look.

You can also apply this gel on your favorite mascara.

Instead of buying separate products like:

waterproof liquid eyeliner
waterproof eye makeup
waterproof eyebrow pencil
waterproof mascara makeup

You can just use this stay put gel when you need to waterproof any of your eyeliner or eyebrow makeup.
