As much as we love a strong, bold brow, we're always a little wary of overdoing it when it comes to filling ours in. After all, your brows are there to frame your features — not distract from 'em. So, to help us stay on the right side of this fine line, we called in makeup pro James Vincent. Never one to disappoint, he gave us some seriously insightful tips and tricks for beefing up our brows without going overboard. Watch above as our editorial assistant Samantha gets natural-but-noticeable brows that we'll be recreating daily.

00:06Recently on a shoot I had my eyebrows filled in and they ended up a little more high impact
00:09than I had expected.
00:11Today I'm hoping that James will help me achieve a natural looking filled in eyebrow.
00:15I want to show you how to fill your brow in and keep it soft and beautiful.
00:19Perfect.
00:19That sounds great.
00:20Let's do it.
00:21So I'm starting with a pencil.
00:22Pencils are great because they're waxy so they sit on top of the skin.
00:26They're really good for providing volume.
00:29Starting at the inner corner of the eye, heading toward the outer corner of the eye,
00:32and sketching in little hairs that grow in the direction of your own eyebrows.
00:37Next you could go in with a powder.
00:39Powder is great for adding depth and can set the brow into place.
00:43So I'm using a brow pen.
00:45And what that's going to do is mimic actual hair growth.
00:48And again I'm just sketching in little hairs following your own brow patterns.
00:52This is an easy, easy look to accomplish.
00:55I'm going to fill in the other brow and then I'm going to have you take a look.
00:57Good?
01:02And I want to know what you think.
01:04Here we go.
01:04Take a look.
01:05They look great.
01:06Do you like it?
01:06I do.
01:07I love it.
01:07Very different than your last experience.
01:09Exactly.
01:09They don't look too harsh.
01:11They don't look too aggressive or too dark.
01:13They look natural.
01:14This look is great.
01:15It's soft.
01:16It works for everyone.
01:17Look to your hair and look to your hair tone and look to the way your hair grows
01:22and draw on those little individual hairs with pencils or powders or gels and you'll get
01:27a more natural look every time.
01:29Perfect.
01:30medicate, man.
01:31You can have it now, no.
01:32Here we go.
01:35Don't care.
01:37Ty.
01:37You can have it here.
