How-To: Shape Your Eyebrows

Posted by Ailinh on 6/22/2011 to Beauty
Like applying moisturizer or coating your lips with hydrating lip balm, grooming your eyebrows is another thing on the list to do to maintain a smooth and clean look. In fact, eyebrows are the most important feature on your face. When we are sad, angry or happy, our eyebrows subconsciously shapes itself to our current mood, helping our face to express the way we feel. Grooming eyebrows are also the easiest and most efficient way to improve the structure of your face. 

 Here are a few basic tips and tricks to help get you the shape of the eyebrows that match your personality and is perfect for your face. 


 Finding the Natural Shape of Your Eyebrow 

1. Take a pencil or the end of a brush and line it along the side of your nose. Where your brush meets your brow is where your brow should begin. 

2. Take the pencil/brush and line it from the tip of your nose through the center of the pupil of your eyes and this should be where your highest arch is. 

3. Line the pencil/brush from the side of your nose to the end of your eye indicates where your eyebrow should end.

Cleaning and Grooming Tips

1. If you are sensitive to tweezing your eyebrows, using a little baby Orajel on the area you want to work on prior to plucking will help reduce the pain.

2. Don't hold the mirror too close to your face. Holding the mirror closer than you ought to may result in over-tweezing. And sometimes the hair you plucked will take a long time to grow back or not at all.

3. Begin by using a good slanted tweezer and tweeze the hair in the direction it grows.

4. Pluck both brows back and forth. Tweeze both top and bottom of your brows and check your face as you go.

5. Clean up any long, stray hair by brushing your hair up or down with a brow brush, then carefully trim the excess hair with a cuticle scissor.


Filling in Your Brow
Using products to help darken up your eyebrows can give your brows a more complete look.

1. Use brow wax to help darken arches. If you normally fill in your brows with shadow or pencil, brow wax will help the color to set and remain the entire day. Brow wax can help shape the brow hair you already have and tame the unruly brow hairs. If you don't color your brows in with shadow or pencil, using tinted brow wax alone can still do the same trick of making your brows look fuller.

2. If you choose to fill in your brows with color, choose color shades that is lighter or darker than your hair color. If you are dark-haired, go one or two shades lighter than your hair. If you are light-haired, go one or two shades darker than your hair.
