What you'll need to help clients nail the trend: brow gel, and plenty of it. "Brow gel is a natural brow's best friend; it gives a polished yet brushed-up look that stays put," says Natalie Soto-Carlisle, global makeup artist and educator for Iredale Mineral Cosmetics. "For thinner brows, a colored gel is ideal to fi ll in any gaps, and for those already blessed with bushy brows, a clear gel is all that's needed." But won't this trend drive clients away from your brow- shaping skills? Soto-Carlisle stresses that it's actually quite the opposite. "The full brow trend makes eyebrows the focal point of the face, and it requires removing all excess hair around the desired shape for a clean fi nish," she says. If clients lack the hair count required for such bold brows, set them up with brow conditioners for at-home maintenance, and reach for pigmented gels, powders, fi ne- tipped pencils and felt markers to help immediately beef up arches without looking too overdrawn. "The right tools paired with specifi c brow products, such as a fi nely tapered and angled brush along with a wax-based powder or cream- based fi ll, will emulate a perfect hair-like stroke every time," asserts Billera.
