Things You'll Need

• White eyeliner pencil
• Spoolie brush
• Brow scissors
• Magnifying mirror
• Tweezers
• Eyebrow pencil

Instructions

1. Place a white eyeliner pencil against the middle of your nostril. Align it straight up to your brow. Mark a small line with the eyeliner pencil where it meets the brow, which is where your eyebrow should begin.

2. 

   An arched brow will look feminine.

   Turn the eyeliner pencil to align it with the outside corner of your nose and eye. Mark a small line with the eyeliner pencil where it meets the brow, which is where your eyebrow should arch.

3. 

   Long, bushy eyebrows look masculine.

   Brush your eyebrow hairs straight up with a spoolie brush. Clip any long hairs with brow scissors.

4. 

   Eliminate hairs around the eyebrow.

   Look in a magnifying mirror, and pull your brow skin taut. Pluck stray hairs, which are away from the fullest parts of your eyebrow, with a pair of tweezers.

5. Draw a line along the bottom edge of the fullest part of your eyebrow with the white eyeliner pencil to mimic a feminine eyebrow, which has an arch.

6. 

   Shape your eyebrows perfectly with white eyeliner.

   Look in a magnifying mirror, and pull your brow skin taut. Pluck the hairs covered in white eyeliner.

7. 

   Eyebrow pencil will define your eyebrows.

   Rinse off the white eyeliner with warm water. Fill in the eyebrow with an eyebrow pencil that matches your hair color. Blend in the color with your natural brow using a spoolie brush.
