At UKLASH, listening to you is how we continue to evolve and Never Stop Growing™. When we heard that some of our brow shades were not fully doing it for you, we got to work. Because good eyebrow makeup should feel effortless, flattering and made for real life.

Our Dark Brow Pencil shade is now warmer, helping it blend more naturally across a wider range of skin tones. Our Light Brow Pencil shade has been softened to be less yellow-toned, making it a better match for fairer brows. Medium remains unchanged, and the formula you trust stays exactly the same.

With our newly refined Light and Dark shades now rolling out, it is the perfect time to revisit how to create eyebrows with makeup and learn how to adapt your routine to get the most from your updated match: so here’s your guide.

Choosing The Right Eyebrow Pencil Shade

Finding good eyebrow makeup starts with shade selection.
If you use:

• Light – You will now notice a softer, less yellow tone. This makes it ideal for fair brows and cooler blonde shades, creating eyebrows with makeup that look natural rather than brassy.
• Medium – Unchanged, balanced and versatile for many brown tones.
• Dark – Now warmer, making brown eyebrow makeup appear more seamless on deeper brunettes and a broader range of skin tones.

For the most natural-looking brows, match your brow pencil to your natural hair colour, or choose one shade darker if you prefer a more dramatic brow look.

How To Create Eyebrows With Makeup Step By Step

If you are new to eyebrow pencils or want to refine your technique, here is how to apply eyebrow pencil for soft, natural-looking definition.

1: Map Your Shape
Before pencilling in eyebrows, it’s time to figure out where your brows should start, arch and end. To learn more about what brow shape works for you, head to our article here. Ultimately, it comes down to your face shape and proportions, including where your nose, eyes and even ears sit on your face. Brows should bring balance to your features, not overpower them.

2: Use Light, Hair-Like Strokes
When learning how to pencil in eyebrows, less is more.
Using your eyebrow pencil:

• Start in sparse areas first.
• Apply small, upward strokes that mimic real hair.
• Focus on the arch and tail for definition
• Avoid pressing too hard.

The best eyebrows with pencil look softly built, not drawn on. Pencilling eyebrows should feel like sketching, not colouring in.

3: Blend And Perfect
Once you have finished pencilling in eyebrows:

• Brush through again to diffuse any harsh lines.
• Add a little more product only where needed.

This final blend step ensures your eyebrows with makeup look polished but effortless.

Common Eyebrow Pencil Mistakes And How To Avoid Them

Even with good eyebrow makeup, technique matters.

Overfilling the front of the brow
Keep the inner brow, closer to the nose softer. Concentrate your brown pencil eyebrow application towards the arch and tail.

Choosing the wrong undertone
Too cool can look ashy. Too yellow can look brassy. That is exactly why we refined our Light and Dark eyebrow pencils. The right undertone makes all the difference.

Heavy pressure
Eyebrow pencils are designed for precision. Gentle strokes create the most natural eyebrows with pencil.
