Readers, we have a problem. Any time we see a set of really strong, really defined brows, we love the look and how it perfectly frames the wearer's eyes (Cara Delevingne, we're talking to you). However, faking the look can be kind of intimidating, as nothing is quite as awkward as a pair of obviously drawn-on brows.

00:06Hey guys I'm Tara from Refinery29 and I'm Bethany. So lately I've been obsessed with
00:11the really strong dark brow looks that we've seen on the runway so I asked Bethany here to
00:15come in and show me how to get it right. We're going to start by combing the eyebrows in an
00:19upward motion. This helps us to see the real shape of the eyebrow and expand them a little bit.
00:26Once we have the shape of the brow we can start dabbing in a lighter shade of brow
00:32powder. This is to reinforce the shape by coloring the skin underneath the brow. This is also where
00:39you can fix any mistakes in the brow shape. If you have a little scar or your one brow doesn't
00:47grow
00:47as high as the other just fill this in lightly with this color. Now we're going to comb that color
00:53through with an eyebrow brush. This is the key to making it look natural. The comb just kind of
00:59spreads out the color and makes it look less uniform. This would be perfect for a day look
01:06but if you want to reinforce this color for a stronger brow look you can do this next step.
01:13With a slightly smaller brush use the darker eye color. Make sure to add the color in the direction
01:19that the hair grows. This will give the effect of its hair and not just color. If it looks a
01:26little
01:26too dark at this point don't worry because we're going to comb it out again. Now we're just going
01:31to brush through the brows one more time. We're going to focus on the front of the brow. Make sure
01:37that's squared out and pushed straight up. Even if it looks a little messy this is the look. Add a
01:44little
01:44hair spray to your brush for an extra hold. To polish off this look add a little highlight to the
01:50brow bone
01:50and the inside corners of the eye. Strong brows can be intimidating but with the right technique you
01:56can add an edge to any makeup look.
