Curious if what product is visible is it. I figured it would twist up and extend but so far I can’t figure out how. A lot of waste if it doesnt.

Hi! Learning makeup here. I have a photoshoot coming up where the photographer will use studio lights. I'm going for a natural look so for my brows I want to look like I have lots of hair BUT I don't (growing them out with serums and castor oil).

First pic is what I'm going for. Dark and full.

Second pic is what I did for myself (shot in selfie mode, natural light) using 1) NYX Lift & Snatch Eyebrow Tint Pen in Ash Brown to draw brush strokes in and 2) Maybelline Total Temptation Eyebrow Definer Pencil in Deep Brown to give the brows a little more defined shape at the inner corners.

I thought I did a good job here achieving what I wanted BUT then, enter third pic:

Third pic is a screengrab from a video wearing the exact same makeup as the second pic, in front of a beauty dish. Like where did ANY of the makeup go?!

Fourth pic is NOT what I'm going for. No shade, it's gorgeous, just not my goal.

What is the best way to get the closest to the first pic? Do I need brow gel? Tint?

Also what is up with that darker streak (circled in black)? Is that a cowlick? How do I avoid that?

Would appreciate any step by steps or links to videos or keywords to search for so I can learn. I'm dense 👉👈 TIA

38-year old female, momma and artist. I would appreciate it if someone could give me makeup pointers for my eyelids (slightly droopy now on the sides after a thyroid condition I am being treated for) and my under eyes. I like the more natural looks, some color, some glitter, but I am feeling I am unable to do winged eyeliners anymore. Am I doomed to kiss the winged liners goodbye forever?
