Eyebrows bring balance and proportion to the face and eyes, and they can also lift your entire look if you take the right steps. But finding the perfect way to enhance our brows can sometimes feel like it takes a lifetime to master. From waxing, plucking, threading, and everything in between, our eyebrows are the most essential feature to take care of on our face.

"Your brows are totally unique to you, just like your fingerprint," says Jared Bailey, Benefit’s Global Brow Expert. Not only is it important to know the right eyebrow shape for you, but it's equally nice to have that natural brow lift so they can appear effortlessly polished and cool. So much goes into how to lift eyebrows with makeup, knowing where to start, and the best products to use are ideal when making sure yours meet all the right standards. Ahead, experts share how to use makeup to give your brows an instant lift.

Map Your Brows

Before picking up that pencil, it's best to understand exactly where your brows should start, arch, and end. Bailey uses a technique called Brow Mapping, as he explains here: "To find where the brow should start, you follow a straight line up from the edge of the nose. Make a little mark here with a pencil. Next, imagine a diagonal line from the outside of your nose across the middle of your eye. Say hello to your arch by making another mark there. Finally, find where the brow should end by following a diagonal line from the outside of your nose to the outer corner of your eye."

Fill the Arch Subtly

Adding an instant and natural lift is easily do-able by softly filling in your arch, giving it more definition, or simply making the arch slightly higher than where it naturally sits. "I tend to always use a pencil to fill in brows because it has better staying power than a powder," says celebrity beauty artist Daniel Chinchilla. "For a softer look, apply a little pencil and brush it through to soften it up," he adds.
