Beauty tricks to try today: Take years off!

Full-looking arches can take years off your look. Here’s how to get them at their best.

Youth boosting

Defined arches are great youth boosters. However, overly strong brows can age faces, especially if you’re pale skinned, so make sure you pick a brow shadow that is either the same as your hair colour or one slightly darker than your natural tone. Try Revolution Ultra Eyebrow Palette Kit, £7.99. It contains a spectrum of colours that you can blend to find your ideal shade.

A power couple

Can’t seem to get a natural-looking finish with one product? It might be time to try two. Start by taking a pencil to create fine strokes at the beginning of your brow. We like Rimmel Brow Pro Micro Ultrafine Precision Pencil, £7.99. This precision pencil is superior at mimicking delicate hairs. Next, take a pomade to fill in more significant patches, which sit in the middle to the end of your arch. We like Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade, £19.

Make-up trickery

Not just for blemishes and dark circles, concealer is an excellent tool for giving brows an extra lift. Applying a highlighting cream under your arch not only defines them, but also helps brighten skin that may have darkened with age. For the best effect, apply concealer first and then a touch of highlighter on top. We like Bbblondon Conceal And Lift, £19

Home-grown

Whether you’ve overplucked your arches or the strands in your brows have started to deplete, using a mask or serum will help bring your brows back to their former glory. We like bareminerals Strength & Length Serum-infused Brow Gel, £18. A vegan formula that nourishes brows and can be used day or night. Conditioning the hair follicles and strengthening the root encourages natural growth and holds your hairs in place.

Fluff it up

Thicker-looking brows can take years off your face. If you already have naturally full arches, but they need some taming, try brushing up your brows with a clear gel to cover spaces and create a fluffier effect. We like Glossier Boy Brow in Clear, £14. Thin to medium-sized arches? A hybrid powder gel might be better for you, as it’s an easy way to cheat a fuller brow in seconds. We like Benefit Gimme Brow+ Volumising Eyebrow Gel, £22.50.
