How can I prevent powder/foundation from clinging to my eyebrows?

Help!How can I prevent powder/foundation from clinging to my eyebrows?
Buy yourself a brow brush and a wax pencil. You'll be able to brush away any powder on your brows while giving them some shape at the same time. To finish off, press the wax pencil along the length of each brow and then brush again and lastly pat lightly with the tip of your index finger.





The wax helps darken the brows and also keep them in place throughout the day.





A great wax pencil is the one by Anastasia Brow Studio.How can I prevent powder/foundation from clinging to my eyebrows?
I have a stiff bristle eyebrow/eyelash comb that I use after I have finished applying all of my make-up. I just brush through my eyebrows several times. That usually does the trick





If I still have make-up in them, I slightly dampen a q-tip and dab them. Not too wet, or you'll smear the powder!
hint: if its clinging to your eyebrows, you're probably wearing too much powder.
Try a makeup sponge. Run edge of sponge lightly along brow, and it will blend any left over powder into skin and absorp any excess. Plus it wont strip away any brow or face color unlike a wet q-tip will.


Then use flat side of sponge to blend in the rest of your foundation (into hairline and along jawline, nose and mouth..ect) and/or blush for a seamless look. Rinse and dry over night, and its ready to use again. You can get a huge bag for like a buck at any drugstore.





Quick tip: To avoid getting foundation into brows in the first place, apply with fingers, starting on and around nose with light strokes outward, downward and along temples. Then with a light damp sponge (the dampness will thin out color so its not cakey, and will give a ';glowy'; effect) blend together avoiding the lid area and just swiping under eyes..down the nose and lightly blending inner corner of eye.This way you control where the color goes and you can avoid skimming your brows. Blend the rest of face going downward as usual.





Hope this helps!
That's why I hate the powders. They are messy!!
