Korean brow basics: five gentle checks inspired by JUNGSAEMMOOL
Use a Korean makeup artist's original brow-beginner short as a starting point for a practical, gentle and adaptable eyebrow routine.
Korean makeup artist JUNGSAEMMOOL's official YouTube channel published a short titled ‘눈썹 초보 90%가 하는 실수’ (‘A mistake 90% of brow beginners make,’ roughly). The ‘90%’ is part of a video title, not verified survey evidence. Since we could not independently play and verify every scene, **the five steps here are an independent editorial adaptation, not a transcript of exact movements in the video**. No one eyebrow shape or skin tone defines Korean beauty. Eye-cosmetic safety is informed by the US FDA and brush cleaning by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).

01
Watch the original and choose your own brow goal
Start with the original JUNGSAEMMOOL short, but do not read ‘90%’ as a measured rate. Look at the direction of your brow hairs and decide whether you want to fill a gap or lightly adjust the shade. Straight and arched shapes are options, not universal rules.

02
Prepare clean hands and brow-safe tools
Choose a brow pencil, powder or mascara you already own, checking its label for intended use. Wash your hands and keep applicators clean. Do not share eye cosmetics, and skip makeup on inflamed eye-area skin.

03
Fill in small areas instead of pressing hard
Add short, light marks in the direction of your existing brow hair where you want more definition. There is no need to draw one dark outline at the start. This is general practical guidance, not a claim of independently verified video choreography.

04
Comb lightly and check the overall effect
Use a clean spoolie or eyebrow brush to soften clumps and step back from the mirror. Your brows need not be perfectly symmetrical. Lighting, hair density and personal preferences affect the look.
-
05
Remove gently and keep brushes clean
Correct marks with a remover compatible with your product instead of vigorous rubbing. Stop if irritation occurs. AAD advises cleaning general makeup brushes around every 7–10 days and drying them thoroughly; follow manufacturer instructions for spoolies and disposable tools.

ⓘ Keep in mind
- Avoid applying eyebrow products inside the eye, to mucous membranes or broken or inflamed skin. Seek medical advice if pain, swelling or irritation is serious or persists.
