You will need:
- A matte eyeshadow in a color that matches your brows, or is a shade lighter
- Hair pomade, either your guy's grooming clay or a lighter styling paste
- A clean mascara wand or spoolie
- Small utensil for mixing (I like to use the opposite end of a spoolie or a brush handle)
- Synthetic angled brush for applying
Directions:
1. Create loose powder from eyeshadow
First, swipe a clean mascara wand across the surface of your eyeshadow, creating a loose pigment.
2. Scoop a pea size amount of styling paste
Scoop out a bit of styling paste/clay/pomade, about the size of a pea. The type of styling product you choose will depend on the texture and hold you want. A product like Aveda's Light Elements Defining Whip will create more of a brow mousse, while a grooming clay, paste or wax will create more of a true pomade and have greater hold.
3. Mix the power and the paste
Use a toothpick or end of you mascara wand to incorporate the pigment and styling product together.
4. Apply!
Now dip your synthetic angled brush into your newly created pomade and apply in short strokes, building the color gradually. As a bonus, you can even use this as a root touch up!
