How to Fix Common Eyebrow Problems

It is important to take care of your eyebrows in order to maintain a polished and appealing appearance. Common eyebrow problems include thick and bushy eyebrows, thin eyebrows and an uneven brow line. It is simple to fix each of these eyebrow problems.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Pale Eyebrows

1. Use powder eye shadow on pale eyebrows. The shade that you use should be slightly darker than your natural color. The eye shadow should not be cream-based.
2. Groom the eyebrows with a brow brush after applying the eye shadow. Adjust the amount of eye shadow that you use if needed.
3. Avoid using an eyebrow pencil. Often these pencils give your brows a tacky and artificial look.

Bushy Eyebrows

4. Wash your face in warm water before you start tweezing bushy eyebrows. Hold a hot washcloth to your brow area in order to open up the pores.
5. Use a topical anesthetic if you are sensitive to pain. This will numb the area while you tweeze.
6. Pluck your eyebrows in order for them to extend from your tear ducts to the outer corners of your eye. Try to avoid overly thinning the eyebrows out.
7. Smooth out your eyebrows with a brow brush. Keep the hairs in place by using a small amount of hairspray or hair gel.

Uneven Brow Line

8. Fix an uneven brow line by first brushing your brows with your finger. The hairs should be standing straight up.
9. Use a pair of nail scissors to carefully snip any uneven brows. Brush the eyebrows straight down and continuing sniping until all brows are even.
10. Finish by brushing your brows and securing them in place with hairspray or gel.
