Contouring
Contouring hasn’t taken a back seat since making a boom in the beauty world. This season, contouring is all about your brows. Instead of chiseling your cheeks to slim your face and highlight your bone structure, contour your brows to enhance your facial features. "Overextending the ends of your brows will slim your cheeks, and bringing the start of your brows closer together makes your nose appear slimmer," shares brow guru Jared Bailey, global brow expert from Benefit Cosmetics. "Using multiple shades of products throughout will create dimension and contrast in a realistic way." The best part about this trend is it works with both sparse or full brows. Simply fill in and extend where needed for a personalized brow look.

Full-Figured and Groomed
Over-plucking your arches is still a no-no because it looks like full brows are here to stay. "Brows will remain full-figured for some time to come, but bushy isn’t always better," warns Bailey. But don’t confuse thick with wild and free — a crisp and clean arch will enhance your facial features.

Pair Perfect
Though brow-enhancing products are relatively new to the beauty space, maintaining a strong brow game isn’t achieved in one step. "Today, people are using multiple shades of products in their brows to wardrobe an entire look with texture and contrast," shares Bailey. Multiuse products like Benefit Cosmetics' Brow Contour Pro ($34) allow you to fill, shape, define and highlight brows with ease. Remember, brows outline and enhance your face, so maintaining a finished brow look will elevate your overall appearance.
