Shaped and arched eyebrows not only compliment the eyes, but also help in grooming your face.There are probably a lot of places in your locality having eyebrow boutiques, but you can actually learn how to shape your eyebrows yourself. All you will need is a good pair of tweezers – I recommend Tweezerman,a magnifying mirror, and a pencil or a brown shadow – Chanel’s Perfect Brow Compact which Julyne Derrick’s beauty blog on Herahair.com suggests to be the best brow shadow.
The first step for you to do is use the pencil or brow powder to make the your desired shape. Start tweezing any hair outside this line then. However, if you don’t know where your brow should start and end, or where the arch should be, simply place a pencil along the side of your nose and tweeze any hairs that extend past the pencil towards your other brow. You can find out where your brow ends by extending the pencil outward, i.e. diagonally, starting from your nose, then the outside of your eye and towards the brow.To make the perfect arch, hold the pencil exactly parallel to the outside edge of the iris. The highest part of your brow will be right where the pencil meets the eyebrow.But try tweezing 10 days before or a week after your period, as your body is less sensitive to hair removal at this time.
Waxing and threading are painful and a little risky to perform at home, so I suggest you stick to your tweezer. Frequently clean your tweezers in alcohol, and tweeze only when required because when you be overly plucky, you can end up messing up your entire eyebrow shape. Kepp in mind that eyebrows take a lot of time to grow back!
Also, whenever getting ready for an occassion, dont forget to slightly ‘color’ your eyebrows. By coloring, I mean using a pencil or brown powder to define your brow shape.A pencil tends to give a more defined look, while powder gives a natural look. Pencils should be used by those with very light/less eyebrows.
