If you find yourself in a room with Cara Delevingne, you do one thing and one thing only: ask the woman about her amazing eyebrows. Which is exactly what we did when we caught up with the supermodel during an event for My Burberry fragrance in New York City. We even got her to spill the one product you need if you want to get brows like hers (she likes this beauty find so much, she called it “f***ing wonderful”).

Unsurprisingly, the first rule to getting brows like Delevingne’s is to be born with them. Sigh. And to not over-pluck them the first time you get your hands on tweezers when you’re in middle school. Double sigh. “I don’t do anything to them. They just are the way they are,” she told PEOPLE. “They’re just like the way they are. I don’t even really groom them. I don’t tweeze. I just kind of leave [them] until someone does it for me.”
But, wait! All hope for CD-worthy brows is not lost! She recommends “the [Burberry] eyebrow pen. It’s great. It’s f***ing wonderful. I have it on right now, keeping these bad boys down,” she jokes. And the pen isn’t just for taming wild brows; it’s also great for filling in sparse ones (i.e., getting yours to look more like the model’s).

Plus, we spoke to brow guru Robin Evans, of Robin Evans Skincare in New York City. Because many of her clients request the bold look, she’s got it down to a science. Here’s her step-by-step process:
1. Wax & tweeze under the brow very minimally to clean up the strays
2. Add color with a vegetable-based tint
3. To perfect the look, outline under and above the brow with a pencil (Evans recommends the M.A.C. Eyebrow Pencil Crayon in Stud or the Tarte Amazonian Clay Brow Mousse in Rich Brown.)
4. Then fill in with a brow powder (She recommends M.A.C. Eye Shadow in Brun.)
5. Finish with a styling gel to condition the brows, keep them in place and intensify the hair color.
