Yes, life as a girl...the glamor, the pain. At least you can make the pain turn glamorous.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • tweezers
  • scissors
  • (optional) a brow pencil
  1. Step 1

    Decide on a shape. You can even do this by covering up your natural brow and then filling in the imaginary shape with pencil.
    Personally, I like to use the natural brow line and just clean things up a little.

  2. Step 2

    Tweeze all the hairs in the middle of your brow. An easy way to assure symmetry is to take a pencil, line it up on the side your nose from the base to the inner area, now do the other side of your nose. There should be no hair between the two.

  3. Step 3

    Tweeze the bottom area to the shape and thickness you desire. Only tweeze one hair at a time, then switch to the other side to avoid over plucking.

  4. Step 4

    If you have hairs above your brow, or are making an arch or point, tweeze them now. Just like the bottom, only do one per side at a time.

  5. Step 5

    Brush the hairs up and cut them so they lay flat and are not messy. Lay them down and do the same.
    Do not cut them to short or they will bush up.

  6. Step 6

    If you have light eyebrows and want to use a pencil, fill in the area now and tweeze and snip to make the area fit perfect with your pencilry.

Tips & Warnings
  • Avoid over-plucking whenever possible
