Looking your best is always everyone's wish. Having your eyebrows looking good is an important part, since they are a part of your face. By filling your eyebrows in, you are able to lose all the imperfections you have. Your eyebrows add definition to your face and also to your eyes. There are so many methods to use, but here is one of them.

No matter what materials you have to do your eyebrows, if you know how to make it work they will always look good. If you don't have materials designed for filling in your eyebrows, don't worry you can use eye shadow that matches your eyebrow color. When choosing the color to fill in your eyebrows make sure that you test it out on one eyebrow first to make sure that it matches. If you need to pluck a couple of your eyebrow hairs, now is the time before you follow the right steps to do it.

To get started gather all your materials:

• Eyebrow Brush - Use it to fill in your brows.
• Tweezers - Pluck your excess hairs.
• Favorite eye shadow - Choose one that matches your own eyebrows of course.
• Eyebrow Pencil - Use this tool to shape your eyebrows.
• Spoolie Brush - Use it to even out the color on your eyebrows.

Here are the steps to follow and get your eyebrows in shape.

1. Measure the start of your eyebrow by putting your eye pencil on the side of your nose and if there is any hairs on the center pluck them out.
2. Measure from the side of your nostril to the outside corner of your eyebrow, alongside the outer corner of your eye. Whatever is not on the inside pluck it out.
3. Grab your brow pencil and line your arch and the bottom of your brow too.
4. Pluck out whatever is left on the outside of your line.
5. Fill in your eyebrows with your brush.
6. Now use your spoolie brush to clean the excess brow color that was left.

If you follow these steps you will be able to have those perfect eyebrows you always wanted. If you do not have all of the materials you can always substitute for other ones of your preference. Always remember to have the right eyebrow shadow. Do not shade your eyebrows too much as you don't want them to look unnatural. Using these methods will make your eyebrows look fabulous.

10 Make-Up Tips for Women after 50

Here are ten of my favorite makeup tips for assisting you in creating a more youthful appearance:

1. Moisturise

Apply moisturiser to your face and leave it for a few minutes before applying your concealer, and then your foundation. Your skin may look a little plumper and will certainly take application of concealer and foundation much better.

2. Light Concealer

Your concealer should be a shade lighter than your skin and applied with a blending brush, before you apply your foundation to your face. The combination of the blended concealer and foundation will hide imperfections.

3. Add Water

To achieve a smoother finish use a creamy foundation mixed with a drop of water; mix the foundation and water on the back of your hand, using a foundation brush. This is more forgiving than the out-of-the-bottle foundation applied with your fingertips.

4. Lighter Blusher

Use a lighter, softer shade of blusher on the apples of your cheeks, using a blusher brush, for that youthful glow. Do not use blusher with glitter... it belongs on the young and on the 70s disco scene.

5. Softer Eyeliner

Choose softer eyeliners in greys or browns and draw them only on your upper eye lid, as close to the lashes as possible. A pencilled eyeliner, well blended, will enhance your eyes rather than draw attention to fine lines. Apply eyeliner to the bottom lid (under the lashes) for just one-third of the way in from the outer corner.

6. Powder Eye-shadows

Use powder eye shadow because cream based formulas can settle into the creases of the lids. Powder when applied correctly will stay put for longer too. Use neutral colours and always use a brush to apply.

7. Avoid Excess Glitter & Sparkle

Avoid shimmer. Formulas with shiny particles illuminate every line, pore and wrinkle. Leave the shimmer and glitter for "tweens" and young girls who are still able to get away with this sort of bling!

8. Use Highlight

Instead of shading your face, switch to highlighting. We are looking for a plumped appearance which is more youthful than gaunt, sagging look. We want our skin to look smooth. Use pale shades to accentuate under the eyebrows, and use an eye pencil on the inside of the bottom lid to open the eyes. It's never a good idea to use blusher along the cheekbones, and it should never be used under the cheekbones. As we age, blusher should be applied to the apples of the cheeks only; this will create a more natural and plumper look.

9. Blot Instead of Powder

Too much powder will make you look older. Everyone in the make up industry is unanimous on this point. Be careful how much powder you apply and avoid re-applying through the day as a quick fix. For a shiny forehead, nose and chin, use blotting papers rather than powder. While no one likes shiny, that feathery paper bag look that comes with using too much powder is equally unappealing; besides,a glow is more youthful in appearance.

10. Practice Makes Perfect

Take some time out to sit in front of a mirror and experiment with these tips to create a softer, more youthful looking you. You can also take yourself into department stores and have yourself made up at different make-up counters. Whichever is your favourite look, take a 'selfie' and practice at home; you won't look as you want immediately, but you will get it right eventually.
