Achieving the feathered look starts with how you care for your eyebrows. You might want to skip waxing, threading, and trimming for the time being — after all, you want your eyebrows to be as thick and bushy as possible (think Cara Delevingne). If your brows are still on the sparser side, you may want to look into eyebrow growth serums... though don't worry about not having enough hair to play with (because that's what brow pencils are for!).
Now, if you have naturally bushy brows, then consider yourself lucky — though be sure to keep them groomed: The key to effective eyebrow shaping is to keep your natural arch visible.

Prep your brows
As mentioned earlier, keeping your natural brow shape is important for this look. To prep for your eyebrow shaping, start with the inner edge of your brows: It should be aligned to the side of the corresponding nostril — imagine a straight line connecting the two as your guide.
Your arch's highest point should be lined up with the outer edge of your eyeball. As for the tail, it should be aligned to the imaginary line connecting the side of the nostril and the outer edge of your eye. Lightly trace the baseline of your brows to help guide you.

Start with a brow kit
Prep your brows with an eyebrow shaping kit, such as the Too Faced Brow Envy, $39. Since it has two shades, you can either choose one or mix them to get a customized color. If you're just starting out with brows, a kit like this can really come in handy, since it also comes with tweezers, spoolie and a brush that can help you shape and define your brows.
Before filling in your brows, it's important to know its natural stroke and gaps. Using a brow spoolie, brush your eyebrows upward in a feathered motion. This will show you where the bald spots are which should be filled in in the next step. It will also show you the natural direction of your brows which is how you should be drawing your strokes.
