The Biggest Brow Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)

We've all been there: a brow moment we'd rather forget. Whether it's over-plucking, the wrong colour or a shape that just doesn't work, brow mistakes are more common than you think. The good news? They're all fixable. Here are the most common brow mistakes and how to avoid them.

1. Over-plucking

Thin brows had their moment, but that moment has passed. Over-plucking removes hairs that may never grow back, leaving you with sparse, uneven brows. The fix: put the tweezers down and let your brows grow out. Fill in sparse areas with the B'KATE Pro Brow Powder Pencil while you wait.

2. Using the wrong colour

Going too dark is one of the most common mistakes. Your brow colour should be close to your natural hair colour, or one shade lighter for a softer look. The B'KATE Pro Brow Powder Pencil comes in three shades: Tatum (Dark Brown), Scott (Soft Brown) and Leo (Blonde), so there's a match for everyone.

3. Starting too close to the nose

Your brow should start directly above the inner corner of your eye. Starting too far inward creates a heavy, closed-off look. Use the Fine Liner Pencil to mark the starting point before filling in.

4. Ignoring the tail

A brow without a defined tail looks unfinished. Use the B'KATE Fine Liner Pencil to draw a clean, tapered tail that ends at a natural angle from the outer corner of your eye.

5. Skipping the setting step

All that work, and then it disappears by lunchtime. Always finish with the B'KATE Brow Gel (clear) to lock your brows in place and keep them looking fresh all day.

Great brows are all about the details. Avoid these common mistakes and let B'KATE help you nail your brow routine every time.
