Brow Grooming and Shaping
Before you begin shaping your eyebrows, it’s important to tidy up the existing brows. If your natural brow shape is already well-defined, sharp, and flattering to your face shape, a simple trim will suffice.
A well-defined, sharp, and flattering brow shape only needs a simple trim.
To trim your eyebrows, you can use a brow brush and small scissors to cut any longer hairs that are out of place:
- Brush your eyebrows upward and then use the scissors to trim any hairs that are longer or straying outside the desired shape.
- Next, brush your eyebrows at a 45-degree angle towards your temples and trim any excess hair to create a sharper look.
- Finally, brush your eyebrows downward and trim any remaining long hairs. If there are any stray hairs, use tweezers to pluck them away neatly.
Choose the Right Brow Shape for Your Face
Once your eyebrows are neatly trimmed, you need to choose a shape that complements your facial features:
- Oval Face: Soft, slightly curved, or arched eyebrows will enhance your face shape beautifully.
- Angular Face: Opt for moderately curved eyebrows to soften the angles of your face.
- Round Face: High-arched eyebrows will give the illusion of a longer face and reduce the appearance of roundness.
- Long Face: A straight eyebrow shape will help to shorten the length of a long face, creating a more balanced look.
Mapping Out the Perfect Brow Shape
To achieve the perfect brow shape, you need to identify three key points: the beginning, arch, and end of your eyebrow. Follow these steps:
- Step 1: Using an eyebrow pencil, create a straight line from the inner corner of your nose to the inner corner of your eye. This marks the starting point of your eyebrow.
- Step 2: Continue by angling the pencil from the outer corner of your nose through the pupil of your eye to determine the highest point of your arch.
- Step 3: Finally, position the pencil from the outer corner of your nose to the outer corner of your eye to find the ideal endpoint for your eyebrow.
Note that for arched eyebrows, the highest point should be darker than the rest of the brow.
Creating Natural-Looking Brows
- Straight Brows: Straight eyebrows are ideal for long or V-shaped faces. If your natural brows already have a straight shape, simply fill them in evenly and extend them if needed. If not, lightly sketch the starting point, arch, and endpoint, and then connect them for a balanced look.
- Arched Brows: This style suits most face shapes. Adjust the arch height to suit your face, and then connect the starting point, arch, and endpoint, filling in the color evenly. For a natural look, make the arch slightly darker and the tail lighter.
Remember, when shaping your eyebrows, avoid making them too dark or thick, as this can throw off the balance of your features.
