How to Master Eyebrow Shaping

Perfect Eyebrows

Eyebrows are an important part of your features; they are one of the first things people notice, and they essentially define the face. Brows should frame the face, and the wrong shape can take too much away from your beauty. Follow these tips to master the art of eyebrow shaping.

Things You'll Need

• tweezers, eyebrow pencil, eyebrow brush, concealer pencil

Instructions

Instructions

1. 

   To find where your brow should begin, place an eyebrow pencil vertically against the side of your nose and line it up with your tear duct. To find where it should end, place the pencil going from the side of your nose to the outer corner of your eye. Pluck stray hairs found on the outside of these points.

2. Find the arch by looking straight ahead and placing the eyebrow pencil from the tip of your nose to the outer edge of your iris (the colored part of your eye). This is where the arch should begin; use a concealer pencil to outline the perfect shape onto your brow and color in the hairs you want to tweeze.

3. Trim brows by brushing hairs upward with an eyebrow brush and trimming the tops that stick out. Brush hairs downward and repeat, holding skin taut to retain their shape.

4. Tweeze all hairs colored in with concealer pencil to create your perfect arch and expose the brow bone. The beginning of your brow should rise parallel to the slant of your eye shape, and both the beginning and end should fall on the same exact horizontal line.

5. Fill in brows with an eyebrow pencil lightly, extending them to meet the proper length if needed. Make wispy, hair-like strokes instead of pressing hard and creating harsh brow definition.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a quality pair of tweezers. Try products from companies specializing in eyebrow definition, like Tweezerman or Anastasia.
