How to Arch Your Eyebrow

Professional eyebrow waxing is great for keeping your brows neat and trimmed. But you can easily maintain the shape and arch you want on your own and home.

Things You'll Need

• Eyebrow pencil
• Tweezers
• Eyebrow brush
• Makeup brush

Instructions

1. Brush the brow in the direction you like using the eyebrow brush. For a more dramatic look that accentuates the arch, brush the brow up on an outward slant. For a more relaxed look, brush the brow in a more rounded direction.

2. Draw the arch and shape that you desire into your eyebrow, using the eyebrow pencil. This will create a guide for tweezing.

3. Use the tweezers to pluck below the eyebrow pencil markings below the line you drew into your brow.

4. Wipe away the plucked strays using the makeup brush, then use the eyebrow brush to comb brow again in the desired shape. If the brow is clean and shaped properly, move on to step 5. Otherwise, continue to pluck at and below your drawn brow line.

5. Use the tweezers to clean up the area between your two eyebrows and any strays above the brows.

6. Fill in the brow using the eyebrow pencil. Concentrate mostly on the inner end which should be slightly thicker and fuller than the outside end in order to create an arched effect.

Tips & Warnings

• Always draw your guide line into both brows before you begin tweezing. Otherwise it is too easy to end up with over plucked or uneven eyebrows.
