This Universally Flattering Brow Shape Is A+ For Fluffy Arches Without Going Overboard

Fellow sparse-browed friends: You know the struggle. So allow me to introduce you to a style that's easy for all of us to master: the geolift, coined by brow expert Joey Healy. He describes it as "the perfect marriage between the thinner brows of the '90s and the dark, 'Instagrammy' boy brows of 2015," and it's versatile for all brow shapes and sizes. 

Think of geolift brows as half-fluffy, half-structured. Follow the below for Healy's styling guide. 

"I don't love the idea of mimicking individual hairs using a pen or a pencil; it just never looks that authentic. But by using a little bit of powder, you sort of close the gaps," says Healy, adding, "I would just buff a little bit of color right behind the sprouts." Use a clean spoolie to further blend.

If your tails aren't cooperating, Healy recommends sweeping two coats of brow gel: Wait for the first coat to dry before applying the next and finessing the shape. 

While everyone's natural peak rests at a different place (see here for how to find yours), you'll want to define that high point with a dab of highlighter. "Not above the brow, not under the whole brow, but right under the arch," says Healy. "That little bit of cream highlighter gives a total lift, which is really flattering for the entire eye area." 

Brow shapes run the gamut, and it's typically best practice to work with what you naturally have, be it round, straight, peaked, or upward. However, certain styling tricks can mold your arches into the best they can be, like the geolift.
