Mac Brow Shader and Angled Brow Brush

2. Gaps?

The Fix: If your hair doesn't grow in certain spots (or you've overplucked an area), a natural-looking way to fill it in is with a matte brow powder and brush, such as MAC Brow Shader ($16; Nordstrom.com) and Angled Brow Brush ($19.50; Nordstrom.com). Be sure your brows are dry and free of moisturizer; otherwise the powder goes on unevenly.
