Eyebrows attract a lot of attention to the eyes, so it is important to shape them properly; in a manner that will bring good attention to the face, enhance the eyes, and be pleasing to look at. When eyebrows are not shaped properly, they bring the same attention but do not enhance the eyes and face.

Eyebrows are waxed, threaded, tweezed, etc. but the easiest way to do it at home is tweezing.

The eyebrow shape should start right above the corner of the inner eye and extend to slightly beyond the outer corner. The arch should be directly above the outer edge of the iris.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • mirror
  • tweezer
  • brow brush
  • small scissors
  • brow pencil

    Area below eyebrow

    Tweeze area below the eyebrow up to slightly beyond outer edge of the eye.

  3. Step 3

    Brush eyebrows and cut any long hairs that curl and/or don't fall into place with the flow of the eyebrow.

Tips & Warnings
  • When tweezing, hold hair close to the base and pluck in the direction that it grows.
  • Pluck only one hair at a time.
  • Fill in sparse areas with a brow pencil or powder close to the color of your hair.
  • Do not wax or shave eyebrows.
  • Be very careful when using scissors around the eyes.
