Six steps
to perfect eyebrows:
1. Brush brows upward. Carefully trim any excess hair above the top of your
natural arch.
Be careful not to take off too much at the ends or you'll have
brow "bald" spots.
2. Look closely at the shape. Your brow should begin at your tear duct,
peak at the outer
edge of your iris and end at the outer corner of your eye. "Many
women make the
mistake of taking off too much at the outer corners," says Weston.
"This slants the
brows upward and makes the person look perpetually angry."
3. Prep your skin: Soak a cotton ball in astringent and wipe the brow
area.
4. Hold a pencil in line with the outer side of your iris and note
where the peak of your
arch naturally occurs. From the arch to the outer corner of
the eye, your brow should
fall in a straight or slightly curved line, depending on
the look you're trying to achieve.
5. Hold the tweezers at a 45 degree angle and pluck the stray hairs
below the brow line.
"Pull in the direction of the hair growth, or you may end up
breaking the hair mid-shaft,"
says Engle. Follow your natural brow shape — not the
trends. "It's very difficult to let
your brows grow back into their natural shape after you've
plucked them to death trying
to achieve a particular look," she says.
6. Fill in sparse areas with a freshly sharpened brow pencil; use light,
quick strokes to draw
in hair. Brow powder will give thin brows overall definition, and
is great for a more natural
look. Using the brow brush, sweep powder up and outward over
brows. If you're a brow
novice, a tinted brow gel is a foolproof way to keep brows in
place. Lightly coat brows
using upward and outward strokes. Wipe off any excess and allow
it to set.
