1. See a professional- ME!
If you can’t afford to come in for regular brow maintenance here are some very important rules to follow.
2. Decide on your brow shape
3. Use quality tweezers
4. Trim- IF NEEDED
Here’s a very important eyebrow shaping tip- do NOT trim unnecessary brow hairs. This can leave holes in your brows. A big mistake people make is taking out more hair when trimming the excess length really is what needs to go. For men this helps make the brows look more neat and groomed and for women it helps them acheive that perfectly defined look.
5. Clean up strays on the tops of brows
While I’m not suggesting going into the main shape of your brow, cleaning up the stray hairs above the shape create a more defined, clean eyebrow and can help trouble brows look even with one another.
6. Use a brow powder, pencil or other fillers
If you have sparse brows, over plucked, or are growing out brows, filling them in will give you the look you want. Use the wrong products or technique and they will look painted on, instead of natural.
7. Don’t stand too close to the mirror when shaping
With some distance from the mirror you will be able to better see to balance your brows and see the ‘whole picture’, and have less chance of making brows uneven. After you have your shape in, you can then get close-up to better reach the finer, lighter hairs.
8. Do NOT stray from your natural shape
9. Do NOT shave eyebrows
I know there are little razors sold out there specifically for your brows, but this is very dangerous to the integrity of your eyebrows. You could shave off parts you wanted to keep or accidentally mess one up.
10. Tweeze properly
Hold skin taut by gently holding skin firm with your free hand while tweezing, means less tugging and pain on the skin. If the hair is just too short for tweezing, don’t push the tweezers into the skin. Scraping, bleeding or even scarring can result if you get a little too forceful with your tweezers. Having some hair is a better option over broken skin. Instead, just wait until the hair is a bit longer and can be easily grabbed on to. You can also hold a warm towel over the area you are about to wax to open the pores and hair follicles so that the hair will remove more easily.
