Eyebrows are to the face what a frame is to a picture. If your brows are shaped correctly, they can really transform your whole face, so make sure that you take care of them right. Here are some steps to ensure you find and maintain the perfect shape for you!
1. Get Waxed
Have your eyebrows professionally waxed before going it alone with tweezers so you'll have the right shape from the start. Plus, waxing is a good way to get a very clean look since it takes away even the peach fuzz. Remember not to remove hairs from the ends, you want length. Keep your eyebrows full overall, it gives you a more youthful look.
2. Fill In
Once the hairs have regrown in 3 or 4 weeks, you can maintain the shape yourself. First, fill them in to accentuate the shape and then tweeze around. Comb upward with a spoolie brush (mascara wand) and cut any hairs that are extra on top. If you have any holes in your brows, use a pencil to stroke in any hairs and if they are just not dense, color them in with powder so the brows look thicker.
3. Tweeze Carefully
Starting at the bottom inner corner, remove hairs one hair at a time, pulling in the direction of the hair growth. Move across the brow, following the shape of the line. Never pull out clumps or clusters (that's how you make holes).
4. Groom
Brush on a brow gel or a clear mascara to finish. This is like putting on hairspray; it keeps the strands in place. You can add some highlighter under the arch of the brow to accentuate the shape. However, if you get your eyebrows waxed, do not put makeup on the area for at least a few hours - you don't want to clog that area.
