Covering Your Eyebrows!?!?!

There are many many videos and articles explaining how to cover your brows realistically. I first spotted this technique in "Making Faces" by Kevyn Aucoin, it's been one of the hardest techniques to get good at, I've tried the glue stick method I've seen on youtube, and it never worked as well as I wanted, I've tried lash glue and flesh latex, and none worked then I got the idea to use toilet paper to create scars and burns from MsKTrues makeup artist, and thought, besides using it to do that I could use it to cover brows!!! So this it is, in video form, I only used a few items, all of which you should have, if not they don't cost much and are easy to find. :)

OH! It's also very simple to remove, just use a oil based make up remover (I like baby oil, or olive oil) on a rag and massage it back and forth until the glue comes off, it doesn't hurt, just be gentle and it should only take a minute. DO NOT try to peel the glue and toilet paper off, it will hurt!!!  

Things you will need: (and probably already have)
Toilet Paper (I HOPE you have this!)
Elmers Glue Stick (I like the purple kind because you can tell when it's dry, these cost about $2 for a 3 pack)
Artists Spatula (a cake spatula or butter knife works just fine too just make sure it isn't sharp)
White Face Paint (Kryolan. Mehron, Ben Nye, or any white face paint from the costume store)
Face Powder (Baby powder, powder foundation, blotting powder)
Concealer or Cream Color in your skin color (Matte is the best. Paint Pots and MAC Paints, Lo'Real HIP Paints, Dream matte mousse concealer)
Foundation in your skin color (Creams and liquids work best)


Foundation and concealer do not BOTH have to be used, one or the other is fine. If you have very light brows white face paint is not needed.

So I hoped this helped anyone looking to cover their eyebrows. (Halloween, theater, drag, costume, whatever!)  :)
