How to Shape Eyebrows Well
Perfect eyebrows are all about balance and proportion. Slightly arched brows work well for round-shaped faces while brows on oval-shaped faces should be kept parallel to the eyelid and draw down slightly at the end. Square-shaped faces can also benefit from this shape, but it is important to keep the brows as natural and thick as possible. Tapered eyebrows of a medium thickness can help balance rectangular or oblong-shaped faces and a medium width arched brow can accentuate heart-shaped faces. Look your best with eyebrows that complement your face shape. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Hold an eyebrow pencil vertically at the outer corner of the nostril. Where the pencil hits the brow is where it should start. Slant the pencil toward the outer edge of the eye. This is where the brow should stop. Align the pencil vertically with the middle of the iris to find the highest point of the arch.

Tweeze the hairs that fall outside of the pencil lines one at a time, removing as little from the top as possible. Grab the hair close to the root to minimize breakage and ensure a clean pluck. Pull the hair in the direction it is growing to remove hair smoothly.

Brush the eyebrows upward with an eyebrow brush and trim long hairs with a small pair of scissors. Wipe away the pencil lines with makeup remover and a cotton swab. Apply toner to the eyebrows with a clean cotton swab to help close pores.
