1) Determine the Best Shape for Your Face

To determine the best eyebrow shape for your face, make sure you find the right arch, width, and thickness for your eyebrows. This is key and be sure to take into account your whole face, not just the eye area.

2) Know Where the Brow Actually Starts

To achieve the best brow for your face, you need to know where that all important brow actually starts. Here is a great way to discern this. The beginning of your eyebrows should line up with the center of your nostrils. If your brows fall short of the center of your nostrils, you should try filling them in as this will create the most balanced frame for your face.

3) Trim Long Brow Hairs

Long brow hairs should be trimmed. If you have long brow hairs, you will need to trim them. Trimming is easy, all you need is a pair of small cuticle scissors and an eyebrow spooly. Brush up your brows and any hair that is above your brow line...just trim. Super simple and effective!

4) Fill in Your Brows Before Tweezing

Use an eyebrow pencil to fill in your brows before you start tweezing. When you fill in your brows with a pencil, it helps prevent over-tweezing. You can also utilize a white pencil to mark the hairs you want remove.

5) Step Back From the Mirror for the Final Look

When you have finished tweezing, be sure to step back from the mirror for that final look. Standing back from the mirror allows you to take a look at both brows together. Think of it as a painting on the wall. From this vantage point, you can see your brows as a whole picture.
