Everyone has different shaped eyebrows, but you can improve the natural shape by teasing out stray hairs and tidying up the general outline. You may have thick or thin brows, but the important thing is not to over pluck eyebrows or try and force them into an unnatural shape as this can end up looking very false, and if you have damaged the follicles through over plucking then your eyebrows they may never grow back to their natural shape again.
Shaping
The easiest way to work out what shape your eyebrows will look best in is to look at the overall shape of your face and the natural shape of your eyebrows, and follow the golden rule that professional beauticians use which is:
Length – eyebrows should start just above the tear duct on your eye and reach out to at least the outside corner of your eye.
Arch – the perfect eyebrow will have a gentle arch on the underside (never pluck hairs from the top side of your eyebrows as this looks unnatural), which should begin at the start of your iris (as you are looking straight ahead), and gently taper upwards moving out to then end of the brow.
If you are shaping your eyebrows for the first time just do a few hairs at a time, and it can be a good idea to draw a faint guideline on with an eyebrow pencil so that you don’t over pluck them before you realise. If you are very nervous about shaping your eyebrows then get a beautician to do them for you first, and then all you will have to do is tease out the hairs as they are growing back in, rather than having to shape the whole eyebrow from scratch.
Waxing and Threading
If you have very thick eyebrows it can take a long time to tweezer out each hair, so you may prefer to get them waxed or threaded, and then just tidy the shape up a little with a tweezers afterwards. Be careful with waxing though as it can be difficult to get an accurate shape, so just take out most of the hairs this way, and then use tweezers to shape the eyebrow properly afterwards.
