When you do your eyebrows particularly using ABH dipbrow how do you get the gradient where your brows go from lightest to dark? I know to use a light hand but I thought you use a light hand for the she thing. also do you kind of dab your brush on your brows to make it look like hair or is it best to basically brush the hair with your brush? I always see pictorials but it never says how to do this.

I don't really dig the gradient effect but usually they just use the most product on the tail/middle and don't grab anymore product for the front (they use whatever is left in the brush). Also, blending is key to get any great gradient look.

OK lol that makes a lot of sense I just can't figure out how their brows look so smooth like how do they use the brush to dab like hairs or like brushing to blend it in eyebrows are the hardest and most confusing for me I'm forever learning about them lol.

A spooley and brow brush helps fade the front of brow because it's basically wiping off some product.If you notice most have less hair in the front area and most of the product is attaching to the skin but once you spooley/brush it's fading product away.Hope that makes sense :-)

Renay got it pretty much right. A spooley is key but it can make your brow a little messy sometimes so that's when you go in with a little concealer or foundation to clean it up. I don't dab my angle brush at all either. It's just knowing how much product to have at each part of your brow. I have to admit, the dipbrow is difficult sometimes cause the pigmentation is insane! So I just literally BARELY touch the product when going for the beginning of my brows. Idk if your in to super bold "Instagram" brows, but the bolder it is at your tail of your brow, the lighter it will look at the front of your brow.
