Anti-Aging Eyebrows? 5 Ways Your Brows Can Make You Look Younger

You've probably heard all about the importance of finding the right brow shape to suit your face, but did you know that well-styled brows can also help you look younger? Beautifully defined, face-framing brows can turn back the clock by creating a more lifted and youthful appearance. In this blog post, we're sharing five ways that you can style your brows for an instant anti-aging boost!

Fuller = More Youthful

Fuller brows have been on-trend for a while now, and with good reason! Full, bold brows are a subtle sign of youth and good health. At some point in the aging process, our hair begins to thin out and become more sparse, which is why thin brows can be associated with aging. Over-plucking and drastically thinning your eyebrows can make you appear older than you are. 

To avoid prematurely aging your face, opt for a natural brow style with healthy depth and thickness. If you have naturally sparse brows or little hair, consider opting for a treatment that makes brows appear thicker, such as brow lamination or microblading.

Consider Your Brow Gap

Your brows frame your face, so it makes sense that their shape can highlight and exaggerate certain facial features. Consider the natural gap between your brows. Usually, this gap is a similar width to the end of your nose. However, if you style your brows too far apart, this can exaggerate the width and length of your nose. If you're unsure what the best brow shape for your features is, book a consultation with a licensed professional who can help you determine. 

Honor Your Natural Brow Shape

Most people's natural brow shape is actually the most flattering one for their face. Of course, everyone can benefit from thoughtful shaping and styling. It's important to understand that finding the perfect brow shape does not have a one-size-fits-all solution. For instance, the brow arch is the brow's highest point; however, some people have a more pronounced arch than others. In general, a gradual arch that extends into a lifted tail will help to create a more youthful look and open up the eye area. This is because our brows tend to drop as we age, making our eye area look more tired and droopy. You can counter this by styling your brows to appear more lifted.

Don't Cut Yourself Short

As a general rule of thumb, we are all for beautiful, elongated brows! The ends of your brows should, ideally, gently taper to a clean point. If your eyebrows are shortened or thin out at the ends, this can make your face appear older. Similarly, if your eyebrows have a heavy, blocky tail, this can overpower your whole face and look unnatural. Unless the tails of your eyebrows fall far below your brow bone, you should leave the length alone and lightly shade in the ends. 

Don't Be Afraid to Shade

As we age, our hair can lose color pigment and become lighter or even white! When this happens to our brows, it can cause us to appear older than we actually are. If you have lighter brow hairs or grey, coloring your brows is the best way to give them a youthful boost. If you're looking for a quick shading fix at home, we recommend our Best Brow Day Pencil. Featuring a precise, micro-sized tip, this user-friendly brow pencil makes it easy to create realistic hair-like strokes. Plus, the specially created formula is long-lasting to take you effortlessly from day to night! If you don't have the time (or the desire!) to pencil your eyebrows every day, we recommend opting for a professional brow tint to add color and definition. A brow tint lasts 6-8 weeks, and deposits color to enhance your natural brow tone.
