Hello, Subtl beauty lovers! Pauline here, and I am thrilled to be back with another exciting tutorial—this time, we’re diving into brows with the brand new Brow BFF.

This three-in-one product is the latest addition to Subtl’s beauty lineup, and I’m beyond excited to show you how to use it to find your best brow shape. Whether you're a brow novice or a pro, this Brow BFF will make your brow game effortless. Ready to dive in? Let’s go!

Meet the Brow BFF

If you love Subtl’s stak for its compact, travel-friendly convenience, you’ll adore the Brow BFF. True to Subtl’s mission of simplifying beauty routines, this product brings everything you need for perfect brows—all in one.

The Brow BFF is a three-in-one brow tool with:

1. A pencil on one end for shaping and filling.
2. A spoolie brush on the opposite end for blending and fluffing.
3. A clear brow gel built right into the spoolie end for setting your brows in place.

No need for multiple products cluttering your makeup bag—this single tool has it all. 

Shade Selection: Find Your Perfect Match

The Brow BFF comes in five versatile shades that work for a variety of hair colors and skin tones:

• Taupe – Ideal for blonde tones.
• Auburn – Perfect for redheads and those with warm strawberry hues.
• Medium Brown – Great for those with neutral to slightly darker blonde or brown hair.
• Dark Brown – Perfect for those with rich, dark brown hair.
• Black – For those with very dark, nearly black hair.

Here’s a quick pro tip: If you’re in between shades (like I am sometimes), you can always switch it up based on your current hair color or preference. You also don't have to be quite as precise with lighter shades! Don’t be afraid to experiment.

Brow Sisters, Not Twins: Perfecting Your Shape

Remember, brows are sisters, not twins, so don’t stress over making them identical. The key is enhancing your natural shape without getting too caught up in perfection.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide I recommend for beginners:

1. Brush Down First – Start by brushing your brows downward with the spoolie. This gives you a clear view of the top line of your brows, making it easier to outline and define them.

2. Outline the Shape – Using the pencil side, trace the upper edge of your brow, extending it just a bit for a more defined arch. This helps frame your face beautifully.

3. Fill in the Gaps – Once you’ve outlined the shape, lightly fill in any sparse areas. Remember to keep your strokes light and natural.

4. Blend and Fluff – After filling in, brush your brows upward with the spoolie to blend the strokes and ensure everything looks soft and natural.

5. Lock it in – Finally, use the clear brow gel to brush your brows into place. For a clean, structured brow, brush them upwards. Or, for a more natural look, lightly comb them into place. The gel will hold your brows all day long!

If you want extra staying power (especially on those active days), you can add a tiny bit of setting powder over the gel. This “double lock-in” trick is perfect for ensuring your brows stay put, no matter the weather or activity.

Pro Tips for Finding Your Ideal Brow Shape

Want to find your perfect brow shape? Here’s a quick guide using three points on your face as a reference:

1. Start of the Brow: Align a pencil vertically from the outer edge of your nose to your inner eye corner. This is where your brow should begin.

2. Arch Placement: To find your arch, align the pencil from the outer edge of your nose to the outer part of your iris (the colored part of your eye). This is where your brow arch should peak.

3. Brow End: Lastly, align the pencil from the edge of your nose to the outer corner of your eye. This is where your brow should end.

While these are helpful guidelines, don’t feel like you need to follow them strictly—brows are personal! It’s all about what feels good for your face shape and style.
