Post-pencil, grab a spoolie to brush through the entire brow before doing anything else. "It's a common misconception that you only need to brush through the brow before you start applying makeup, or as a final step," says Henao. "You should be continually blending everything with a spoolie." Why? When too much makeup adheres to the hairs, you end up seeing just the makeup, and not the shape of your brow. By constantly brushing and blending, you ensure the end result highlights the brow itself, not the product used, he explains. We're fans of the superaffordable e.l.f. Eyelash & Brow Wand, $1.
Since this brow look for Kendall is more defined, Henao recommends layering a powder over the pencil for added color and dimension. (Be sure to always follow this order: "Starting with the emollient pencil gives the powder something to adhere to, and makes for the most natural result," he says.) The Estée Lauder Multi-Tasker he likes contains a built-in powder with a sponge tip applicator, or, apply a loose option, like Bare Minerals Brow Powder, $12, using an angled liner brush. When it comes to choosing the right color -- for pencil and/or powder -- Henao advises brunettes go one shade lighter than their hair color, blondes one shade darker. Finish by blending everything with a spoolie, of course.
To keep the overall effect polished and refined, dip a small concealer brush into a bit of foundation and carefully trace around the brow. A clean and crisp line makes the brow pop and look clean and groomed, notes Henao.
The most dramatic of these three looks, this involves noticeably changing Jenner's brows: "I ignore her natural shape and go much fuller," says Henao, making this a good option if you too want to fake fuller arches. The trick to creating thicker-looking eyebrows that don't look ridiculous? "Focus on making the brow fuller on top, rather than on the bottom," advises Henao. "This opens up the eye area. Adding thickness on the bottom can make your eyes look smaller, and no one wants that," he adds.

Draw Outside the Lines
Like the red carpet brow, a pencil-powder combo is best for this. Starting with the pencil, gently outline your new, fuller shape, drawing only about a millimeter above the top edge of your brow. Then, fill in the shape with a brow powder. Unlike the red carpet brow, don't worry about clean edges. "Keeping the lines diffuse and a little blurry makes the brow look natural, and not drawn-on or cartoonish," Henao explains.
