Meghan Markle’s go-to brow expert on the perfect eyebrow shape

‘Virgin brows’ is a term I came up with for brows that appear to have never been touched; they look and feel natural with hairs brushed upwards to open the eye area and lift your face, giving it a fresh look.

Here are some tips on how to get them.

1. Boost hair growth by applying castor oil (£9.95, at pukkaherbs.com) directly on the brow — this will stimulate the hairs, allowing them to grow faster and thicker.

Alternatively, the GP Nutrition supplement Enhance Me (£55 for 14 days; gpnutrition.co.uk) contains nutrients and vitamins (such as biotin) to speed up healthy hair growth.

2. Use pencils and powders only to achieve the virgin look. The brand Anastasia Beverly Hills has a wide selection of brow powders and they are very good, but pencils are much more precise — professionals tend to prefer pencils. Avoid at-home tint treatments as they often appear too unnatural and brassy for this look.

3. Style your virgin brow by brushing upwards using a spoolie (brow brush) or an old toothbrush; this is so that you can see the shape of the brow properly.

Then gradually start filling in the hairs using soft strokes, mimicking the direction the hair grows. The front of your brows tends to grow upwards while the rest of them tend to grow outwards. Once they have been filled in, use a spoolie to brush them through — this is important so you don’t get a build-up of product.
