"Hi, I'm Erin on behalf of Expert Village. Today we are going to work on the application of facial hair. So now we are going to trim the eyebrow so it's not so beastly looking. Jaime, you can close your eyes if you need to. Once again, the side view always helps. Remember before, if you want to shape it differently and some hair is not coming off, you can use your Q-tip, stick it in some 99% alcohol and wipe those hairs away, right there, like so. Straighten out your line a little bit. Just a little trim in that little area. Don't be afraid to lift up the brow, like that. You can pull up on the skin just so you can see under. So there you go, that's added to the brow. But, also we need to probably color in this area a little bit. You can do that with probably just a dark color. Just a dark color that will match the eyebrow. Maybe a darker brown, mix it in with maybe a little black, just because she's got a little darker than normal. Just fill in the spots with that. There we go. And we've got ourselves a thicker brow. You can just keep working on that, too, to kind of even it out. But pretty much, that's it. "
