Beauty fan details her 3-step routine for filling in sparse brows – her $10 ‘glue’ & brush trick gives her a fuller look
A BEAUTY guru has revealed her must-try routine for achieving the illusion of fuller eyebrows.
She recommended using budget-friendly makeup products for the best results.
She took to Reddit’s Makeup Addiction forum in response to a user asking for tips to fill their “sparse” brows.
BEAUTIFUL BROWS
Posting under the handle Tabortot96, the Redditor shared the 3-step routine that has worked wonders for her.
“Your brows are a great shape!” she said.
“To fill in my sparse brows, I start with the NYX brow glue and brush backward through the hairs before brushing them the correct way.
“That way I am able to get a fuller look and the hairs are completely coated with glue so they will actually stick together and last all day.”
NYX Professional Makeup Brow Glue Eyebrow Gel costs $9.99 at Target.
It is sold in five colors and has been formulated to hold brow hairs in place for up to 16 hours.
Delighted customers have given it a whopping 4.3-star rating out of a possible 5.
The beauty enthusiast revealed how she achieves her desired look after applying the product.
“When they’re tacky and still drying, I use a Q-tip to wipe any excess glue around the perimeter otherwise the brow pencil/eyeshadow won’t work and I use my finger to gently press the brows down on my face,” she said.
“Then I either use the NYX micro brow pencil to fill in the gaps, or I use the angled brow brush from Anastasia Beverly Hills with a brown eyeshadow if I want a super natural look.”
NYX Professional Makeup Vegan Micro Eyebrow Pencil is available from Target for $10.99.
One customer penned a review saying it’s their “go-to” brow pencil, while another described it as “easy” to use.
It has a 4.6-star rating out of 5.

HAIR HASSLE
The Redditor’s post was upvoted by other users of the forum.
According to Healthline, there are several possible causes of eyebrow hair loss including nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, stress, aging, and persistent overplucking.
