Find your gearHow do I find the ideal eyebrow shape?
- Determine your face shape: The first step in finding your ideal brow shape is to determine your face shape. Different face shapes require different brow shapes for balance and symmetry. Common face shapes are round, oval, square, heart and diamond. Knowing your own face shape will give you a better idea of which brow shapes will complement your features.
- Consider your natural brow shape: Take a close look at your natural brows, noting their shape and thickness. Your natural brow shape can provide a starting point for determining the best shape for your face shape. Enhancing natural brows rather than changing them completely often yields the most flattering results.
- Seek professional advice: If you’re not sure how to style your brows, consider consulting a professional brow stylist or beautician. They have a professional analysis of your face shape and recommend the most suitable eyebrow shape for you. They can also help you achieve the look you want through various techniques such as waxing, threading, or tweezing.
How do I paint my brows?
Drawing brows is a technique used to define the start, arc and end of brows. This will ensure that your brows are symmetrical and well proportioned. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you draw your brows:
- Find the starting point: Hold the brush or eyebrow pencil vertically against the wing of the nose, aiming at the inner corner of the eye. This is the ideal starting point for your brows.
- Identify the arch: To locate the arch, angle the brush or pencil from the side of the nose, through the center of the pupil. The highest point of the arch should be aligned with this diagonal.
- Mark the end point: Stretch the paintbrush or pencil diagonally from the nose, and draw along the outer corner of the eye. This marks the end point of your brows.
- Join the dots: Using a brow pencil or fine brush, lightly connect the start, arch and end. This will serve as a guide for shaping the brows.
Brow Shaping Tips to Help You Get Artful Arches
- Choose the right tools: Invest in a good pair of tweezers, a spoolie brush, and a pair of precision scissors. These tools will help you groom and shape your brows with precision.
- Trim Unwanted Hair: Use the spoolie brush to brush upwards through brows, trimming any excess hair beyond desired brow shape. Be careful and trim a little at a time so you don’t overcut.
-Pull out carefully: If you prefer to tweezer, use your established guidelines to tweeze stray hairs below and above your eyebrows. Take your time, taking a step back occasionally to assess symmetry.
4 Trendy Eyebrows Worth Trying
- Feathered brows: This natural-looking brow style mimics the look of soft, feathered hair. Follow your natural brow shape with hair-like strokes to achieve this look with a brow pencil or powder.
- Bold, defined brows: For a statement-making look, choose a more defined and angular brow shape. Use brow gel or brow gel to precisely fill in brows for a sharper arch.
- Soft and rounded eyebrows: This style is suitable for people with thick eyebrows and a more delicate facial structure. Use a soft brow pencil or brow powder to create soft, rounded shapes that complement your features.
- Ombre Brows: Create an ombre effect by using a lighter shade on the front of the brow and gradually graduating to a darker shade towards the tail. This technique adds dimension and depth to brows.
