Perfectly Shaped Brow

One of my biggest pet peeves is an over tweezed brow. Put the tweezers away please! A well defined eyebrow opens and frames the face. Key word here 'well defined' but not over plucked. Only tweeze the hair under the brow bone, not above. To get the perfect eyebrow shape follow these simple instructions.
  • Place a pencil at the edge of your nose and connect this point to the inside corner of your eye. This is the point our eyebrow should start. Any hair in between pluck, we don't want a uni brow.
  • To find the highest point of your arch, place a pencil starting from the middle of your mouth to the outside of the iris touching the nostril in a diagonal line. I'm not a doctor so Google 'iris' if you don't know where it is.
  • To determine where your brow should end, place a pencil starting from the middle of your mouth outside the nose to the outer corner of your eye. Anything beyond than this point is going to bring the shape of your face down. Remember ladies a nice shaped brow is an instant face lift.

Here are a few other tips to perfectly shaped brows.

  1. There is no such thing as natural beauty. Brows need as much attention as any other part of your beauty regimen.
  2. Invest in a magnifying mirror and a good pair of tweezers.
  3. Your natural arch is the main focal point, so be sure to accentuate it.
  4. Your brows are sisters, not twins! They will never be identical, they should be proportionate, not exactly the same.
  5. Your brows frame your face. If they are too far apart, it will create the illusion that your nose looks wider. And who wants to look like Ms. Piggy?
  6. Use brow powder to fill in the brow only where there is hair. Where it is more sparse towards the end of the brow use a brow pencil, making sure to blend so there is not harsh line. Finish with a wax or gel to keep brows in place.
  7. If you need to let your brows grow in, fake it by using a brow highlighter pencil with a shimmer on the brow bone just under the brow. This will leave your brows looking well groomed even if they are not.
  8. When trimming the extra longs hairs, brush the hair down and only cut the hair hanging over. Be careful not to poke your eye out. I use scissors with rounded tips.
