First moisturize the area--it protects your skin and plumps up the hairs, making them easier to be shaved off. Use your regular daily moisturizer (which should have SPF in it). Apply from above the crease of your eye to above the eyebrows. Don't forget between the eyebrows.

Using a double-ended eyebrow pencil (or just a separate brush) brush the eyebrows upward.

Making an exaggeratedly dark application. Fill in the arch of the eyebrow--they way you want your eyebrow to look--with the eyebrow pencil.

Once the eyebrow is filled, you've set your own personal stencil, and you're ready to trim everything outside of that space. Hold the razor straight up and down. Be cautious because this is a very sharp instrument. While holding the razor straight up, move only side to side. Start at the highest point and, applying light pressure, gently drag the razor along the bottom of the drawn line.

To trim a few stray hairs at the very top of the arch (so that it's a curve and not a point), turn the razor horizontally and gently sweep the blade down. Be very careful not to go too low. Also use a horizontal sweep in the space between your brows.

When finished, swipe the shorn areas with toner or antibacterial wipes to prevent infection.

Tips & Warnings
Change the razor often.
This is a sharp instrument, so go slow.
It's better to take off too little than to be missing half an eyebrow.
