Just 8 Pics of Eyebrows on Fleek
It seems that ever since Vine user Peaches Monroee coined the phrase eyebrows on fleek in 2014, the world has been fascinated with perfect eyebrows. What once were simply just patches of hair to be waxed and maybe filled in a bit became something to obsess over. As a result, you can't scroll through your social-media feeds without seeing someone with bomb brows.
And here are some of the best ones we've seen lately on Instagram. We interviewed each user to see exactly what they do to get brows worthy of the moniker eyebrows on fleek. Hopefully you can apply some of their techniques to your own brows.
The responses below have been edited for clarity and length.

Anastasia Beverly Hills [ABH] Dipbrow Pomade, then ABH Brow Powder Duo on top [both in ash brown], and last, clear brow gel to keep the hairs in place

Do you shape your brows yourself or get them done?
I do it myself, but to be honest I don't really have many brow hairs at all. I had them done once really, really thin when I was about 14, and they never grew back.
So then how long does it take to do your brows?
I would say about 10–15 minutes, only because I have to literally draw a whole new eyebrow there, so it's quite time-consuming, but so worth it!
What advice do you have for people who want to copy your brow look?
The key is a good, very thin angled brush. I can recommend my favorite ever brushes, ABH 7B and 14 brow brushes. They are really thin, which helps with drawing fake eyebrow hairs, so they look natural and real.
Also, carving your eyebrows makes them look more neat. I use a concealer to carve them. Always make sure you have plenty of product on your brush, that way it's easier to draw a clean line.

Do you groom them yourself or get them done?
Since I don't have the "common" arched shaped brow, I'm scared to trust anyone with my brows. So I tend to do all of the shaping.
I also tint my brows by myself. I like using boxed hair dyes, even though it's not medically recommended. I feel that they give me a true color match between my brows and my hair.
What advice do you have for people who want to copy your brow look?
With Dipbrow, be sure to use a sharp brow brush. That way, your brows will be sharper than a knife!

Maintaining your brows at home can be really achievable and save you a ton! I waxed mine up until I got them to the shape/thickness I wanted and then kept up with them from there. Just tweeze as new hairs come in. Also, the application is all about the pressure you put on the pencil or tool you're using. I like natural looking brows, so I use light hair-like strokes when filling them in.

Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara with Lime Crime Diamond Crushers Lip Topper. It's a glitter lip topper that dries down to a waterproof finish. I love using it in my eyebrows, because it's so easy to use. I just apply the Diamond Crusher, then use a clean spoolie to brush it through my brow.

Do you groom them yourself or get them done?
I do my brows myself.
How can people copy your brow look?
For this specific look, all I did was brush the brow gel through the brows. To get them fluffier, I brush the hairs the opposite way they grow. Then I apply the Diamond Crusher. As for general grooming, I tweeze when necessary, but I don't trim my brows anymore. This really helps me get a thicker, fluffier look.

I get them done at a salon.

Always fill in your brows after your foundation application, and always highlight the brow bone to define them. Your eyebrows should be done every two weeks.

I used to get my brows waxed and sometimes threaded, but now I just do them myself.

The "fluff" or natural brow is really on-trend right now, but I've always been a fan. To achieve a more natural brow similar to what I have in the picture, I'll use the Goof Proof pencil and only fill in the sparse areas—a little near my arch just to perfect the shape and in the tail of my brow to elongate it a bit.
I'll follow that up by using the ABH clear brow gel to push my brows up to get that fluff look and keep those hairs in place.

What products did you use to get this look?
- Benefit Browvo! Conditioning Primer to make the eyebrows look thicker and fuller
- NYX Tame & Frame Pomade in color No. 5 and a Zoeva 317 brush
- Brow gel
First, I use a spoolie brush and brush my brows upward to see the shape and where they're uneven. Using short dash-like strokes, I softly fill in any sparse areas with the pomade. You have to be light-handed and use small, light strokes to mimic your brow hairs. After filling the brows, I use a spoolie brush to blend in the pomade. Then I go over my brows lightly with an eyebrow gel to set everything in place.

I shape my eyebrows myself. There are many online tutorials on how to do it, but if you ask me, just follow your natural eyebrow shape and try to match it with the shape of your face.
How can people copy your brow look?
I think that everyone has a unique face and eyebrow shape. To achieve a look inspired by my own, use the same or similar products, fill in any gaps with the pomade gel, and try to make your eyebrows look natural. Just practice until you are satisfied with the final result.

Wax and thread—I have very thick brows!
Do you groom them yourself or get them done?
I always get my eyebrows done by someone else, someone I've been going to for the past three years.
How can people copy your brow look?
I find pomades and brown pencils work the best for thicker brows. Always remember to use small strokes and to have minimal product at the front of the brow, otherwise it can start to look like you've drawn your eyebrows on with a marker. And an eyebrow spoolie is essential to comb through the brows to blend and remove any excess product.
