/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

i'm female and i don't trap so maybe you can't do it like i do, and i don't know if it's the correct way of doing brows. just what my nice brow-trimming lady taught me.

before all this you should have nicely trimmed and tidied brows you look fine in >>7293546 but your photos aren't clear enough to tell.

firstly when you draw your brows, use the side of the pencil (red) and not the tip (blue)

lightly draw the part i indicated in orange, in the same direction i pointed out. don't use too much pressure, draw a few layers to add the impression of the colour in. after that draw it like the purple arrow. lastly blend the drawn parts in by rubbing in a circular motion with your brush or what you use. I use the back of my knuckle though that's not something good to do. if you have any bald spots in your eyebrow maybe draw a few more layers over that area.

after every few strokes please step back from the mirror to check if you drew them too thick/dark. also check if your bald spots still look bald. when you're looking at your eyebrows really close, it should look like it's not thick enough, but when you step back enough to see at least your crotch in the mirror, it will look very defined. cosplay is very photography centric though, so maybe i am wrong and maybe you should just do your eyebrows thick.

also i think the super arched eyebrows make you look more mature, if you want to cos as a young cute character maybe pic related will be better, a less angular kinda eyebrow. see what works for you.
